Celia Cruz’s lasting presence will be felt over the summer… 40th anniversary reissue of the Fania classic from Celia Cruz and Willie Colón featuring hits “Dos Jueyes” and “Yo Lo Puedes Decir.” All analog mastering from the original tapes.
One of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century, Cuban-born singer Celia Cruz recorded nearly 40 studio albums over her long and illustrious career. In the ’70s, Cruz signed to the legendary salsa imprint Fania Records, where she would release some of her most successful titles and perform alongside many of her iconic labelmates. One such peer was horn player, singer, composer and producer Willie Colón: a hugely influential figure in Latin music and one of Fania’s most prolific talents—both in front of the microphone and behind the scenes.
1981’s Celia Y Willie marked the second of three albums by Cruz and Colón. The dynamic—and highly successful—partnership between the “Queen of Salsa” and “El Malo del Bronx” began with 1977’s Only They Could Have Made This Album, featuring Cruz on lead vocals, with Colón at the helm as producer, as well as on bass trumpet. The duo followed suit four years later with Celia Y Willie and, finally, with 1987’s Winners.

Brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke’s music can be likened to an exercise of memory retrieval. All of their four albums explore and pay tribute to their past; growing up in East Berlin in the final decade of the GDR. At its core, the duo’s music can be heard as a dialogue between siblings about their shared upbringings and experiences, a conversation given form through Sebastian’s cello and Daniel’s piano keys, in the fusion that becomes CEEYS. In 2017, the duo also founded Q3 AMBIENTFEST, a three-day happening for neoclassical and experimental music, which seeks to explore the cultural and musical impact of East German heritage.

Throughout their careers, the Potsdam-based brothers Sebastian and Daniel Selke have repeatedly dealt with issues of their communist-dominated East German heritage. The memories saved by their music are by far not only historical, but above all emotional.
At its core, the music of the duo can be heard like a dialogue between brothers about their upbringing and their experiences, a conversation that takes shape through Sebastian’s cello and Daniel’s piano, and which unites in their joint playing to form CEEYS. Their new album ‘HAUSMUSIK’ is a musical continuation of this dialogue – a melodic search for balance and harmony.

From the sounds of his recent releases, CeeLo’s forthcoming fifth studio album CeeLo Green is…Thomas Callaway will stray from the mainstream—as if the singer played by the rules in the first place. The release date for CeeLo Green is…Thomas Callaway hasn’t been shared just yet, but the fact that he’s using his government name in the title suggests that he’s going to be sharing parts of himself stripped of the persona that fans have grown accustomed to. We’ll just have to wait and see.

The contemporary guitar music scene of Mexico is a vibrant and active community of composers, many of them concert guitarists themselves. The new generations of composers are creating a fascinating new repertoire which, while rooted in the historical elements of the Mexican musical heritage with its traditional melodies and indigenous folkloric vitality, embraces the sophistication of European compositional techniques.
Evocations of period and place can be heard in Oliva’s Images of Yucatán and Gerardo Tamez’s Aires de Son, reminiscent of the music of southern Mexico. There are also personal homages such as award-winning guitarist Perera’s romantic Marina and Helguera’s poignant Un retrato (A Portrait).
