After a stay in Ray Barretto's band, Hector Martignon and two other band members, his fellow Colombian Jairo Moreno and Satoshi Takeishi, got together and toured as a trio. Martignon likes to mix Afro-Cuban and Brazilian influences. Ray Barretto comes on board to detonate "You and the Night and the Music." In this piece and "Laura" we hear the delicious voice of Gabriela Anders. On "La Candelaria", "Coqueteos" and "Noviembre, Susurro y Cumbia", Martignon shows his loyalty to traditional Latin American music. Clearly, this is a man who doesn't like ready-to-wear and to get in a rut. He seems especially fond of unusual rhythms, such as in "Tomorrow's Past," a bossa in 3/4, or the beautiful "She Said She Was From Sarajevo," in 7/4, or "Hell's Kitchen Sarabande" in 3/2. After discovering this multifaceted musician, we'd love to hear more.Hector Martignon : Piano
