GRUPO MANGUARE from Havana
"En Casa del Licenciado"...guajira ~ Andrés Pedroso
"Que Manera de Querete"...son ~ Luis Rio
"Guateque Guantanamero"...Changüí ~ Andrés Pedroso
While largely unknown in the United States, people all over Cuba
know the music of Grupo Manguaré. For the past thirty years
Manguaré has been at the forefront of the traditional popular music
scene in Havana.
The founders of the group were originally music students studying
together at one of the government sponsored music academies in
Havana in the early 70's.
Now over thirty years later the group is still going strong and has
performed throughout Cuba as well as traveling to numerous
countries in Central and South America, USSR, United States, and
Europe.
The musicians of Manguaré are important contributors to the "Nueva
Cancion" music movement and are virtuosos in composing and
performing the Cuban music style known as "son". Having recorded
10 LP's, the group is best known for it's songs "En Casa del
Licenciado" and "Junto a Mi Fusil Mi Son".
While some of the musicians in the group have changed over the
years, (including Barbarito Torres of Buena Vista Social Club fame)
central to Manguare is bassist Andrés Pedroso. As a founding
member, and now band leader, he is also a remarkable composer,
having written and arraigned most of Manguare's original material.
Pedroso has a unique style that blends traditional Cuban music with
jazz breaks and sophisticated harmonies that creates a fresh and
exuberant sound.
The Pedroso talent has dramatically increased in Manguare today
with the inclusion of his two daughters, Alejandra Pedroso on vocals,
and Edelmas Pedroso Zulueta on flute, saxophone, and vocals.
Together with the rest of the band they form a dynamo of talent and
energy that present the full range of popular Cuban and Caribbean
music.
