Vicente Garcia "Yo simplemente quiero hacer música."
Thursday Feb 27, 2020
Thursday Feb 27, 2020
Vicente García apareció en el centro del panorama musical luego de pasar varios años girando y abriendo giras para su mentor, la estrella mundial del merengue y la bachata Juan Luis Guerra. Sin embargo, luego del lanzamiento de su primer álbum Melodrama en 2010, García se encontró en una encrucijada; se sintió forzado por la industria musical a caminar lejos de las raíces que lo definían como compositor y más cerca de la bachata popular de artistas como Aventura y Prince Royce. “Empecé a considerar dedicarme únicamente a escribir canciones para otros artistas”, dijo García, que procedió a componer para el líder del grupo de pop mexicano Camila, Mario Domm. Con su nuevo álbum de estudio, Candela, Vicente comenta: “El último álbum de una trilogía y el comienzo de una nueva historia”. Su deseo en Candela es re-inventar la intensidad y la pasión del merengue y la bachata, géneros insignia de su natal República Dominicana y explorados previamente por Vicente en sus dos álbumes anteriores “Melodrama” y “A La Mar” (tres veces ganador del Latin Grammy en 2017). García quiere que sus influencias musicales nativas sean parte de una nueva estética global “Quise experimentar con merengue y mezclaro con diferentes géneros y ritmos, usar recursos electrónicos como el sintetizador Juno, mezclar bachata con trap, bachata con James Blake, con Dub y con Reggae”, afirma. “Esta es la forma en la que siempre soñé hacer música”. Conoce más de este súper talentoso músico y cantautor en este nuevo episodio de Pili, Raúl & La Música . ¡A gozarrrrrrr!

Who would have ever thought banda and regional sounds would blend so well with electronica? Nortec did. And thanks to them we have expanded our music scope and opened up our minds to the fusion of what seemed like opposite genres. "When Nortec started (people thought) Nortec would be one or two years, but we're still here 20 years later. Our music always has something to do with our reality. (Through our music we've been able to demonstrate) another face from Tijuana - not only the bad things, but (also the) culture and music. Our music is trying to represent what is happening in Tijuana."- Nortec Collective
We sit down with Ramón, better known as Bostich, for a super raw and intimate interview full of unheard anecdotes and stories of the collective's music journey. Follow along in this live episode of Jack Daniel's Presenta Pili, Raúl & La Música En Vivo from Room No7.
