Victor Rendon
Fiesta Percusiva
CD
(Tortilla Flat 104114),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
Fiesta, yup, Rendon’s not kidding. He’s amassed a bunch of percussionist including Louis Bauzo, some marimba players, along with William Paul Rodriquez on piano and Carlos Velazquez on bass and the result is a pretty great descarga record for percussion. Rendon, who plays percussion, has varied up the instrumentation so that every track has a different sound; it’s all hard and yet airy at the same time. There’s some singing (some by Tito Rivera) and long grooves and it all adds up to an easy, intelligent look at how music making can be profound without anything but some essentials. And it’s very, very relaxed, and special.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-11-11)
