Nanny AssisDouble Rainbow
Singer and percussionist, Nanny Assis was (in 1990), the head musician in Banda Fuzue, one of the many groups performing in Bahia’s Carnival. Since then, he has toured around the world as a jazz percussionist and now releases his first c.d. in the form of a Double Rainbow. It’s double because one bow consists of colors of originality, the other…colors of covers. Some are more recognizable than others, (i.e. Seal’s Kiss From a Rose). The sound maintains a steady softness.
Rough Guide to Salsa Dura, NYC
Know how to salsa? If not, you’ll want to learn after listening to this album. Salsa Dura translates to “real hard Salsa.” Inspired by the chaos and bustle of NYC, Salsa Dura was born in the Bronx, el barrio, mid-town Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Lyrically confronting political themes of racism, anglo-power structure, and injustices, vocalists also sing of love both won and lost, social issues and ethnic pride. The Salsa Dura sound is created by horns, piano, & percussion and was produced in NYC after the Cuban revolution. “This is a tribute to the musicians who are keeping the sound alive. Now it’s time to dance, “!Porque lo que traigo es sabroso!”
