{"product_id":"frankie-reyes-boleros-valses-y-mas","title":"Frankie Reyes- Boleros Valses Y Mas { VINYL LP }","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2016 release, the Stones Throw debut from Frankie Reyes, the alias of Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker who also records as GB (Gifted \u0026amp; Blessed). Comprised mostly of popular Latin standards from the mid-twentieth century, the source material was reworked by Reyes under an approach he's dubbed \"technoindigenous studies\" which explores his Puerto Rican heritage through modern electronics. The inspiration for Boleros Valses y Mas formed when Los Angeles radio collective Dublab invited Gabriel to participate in an event themed specifically around Latin American modernism. \"I thought about how I might capture the essence of this theme using my instrument of choice, the synthesizer. What came to mind was to cover some of the classic Latin American compositions that I grew up hearing around me and have grown to love as I've gotten older, most of them in the bolero style but a few in the waltz, son, and even mariachi style.\" By using audio-to-MIDI and sheet music-to-MIDI processing Gabriel has recontextualized these popular tracks easily overheard while visiting any of Los Angeles' predominantly Latino neighborhoods with a single Oberheim synthesizer. By removing the lyrics, the emphasis remains on the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic aspects of these classics, many still sung by Latin American artists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlma Corazon y Vida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Noche de Ronda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Flor de Azalea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Alma Adentro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Flor de la Canela\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Bikina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Que Sabes Tu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lamento Borincano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Puerta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Aquel Senor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Espinita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Comparsa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43401200435290,"sku":"659457237110","price":8.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6107\/2986\/files\/3413458.jpg?v=1779353064","url":"https:\/\/qbrxip-ki.myshopify.com\/products\/frankie-reyes-boleros-valses-y-mas","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
