拉莫斯·梅加这个城市在Google中文里搜索不到。他们继承了阿根廷的那些伟大传统，乐器丰富，众多的元素跳跃着，火热的拉丁、探戈与民谣融合。阿根廷，永远让人向往。

Biography
Ida y Vuelta succeeds to incorporate the Argentinean folk and popular music with a profound and committed message and a vivid strength in every interpretation. Chacarearas, zambas and gatos are intertwined with songs without a particular established form. The bass drum ( bombo ) and the guitar are played together with the keyboard, the sax and the drums performing a particular sound between a traditional and a modern one. Repertoire: our own version of songs of different famous singers and composers of the Argentine folk and popular music (Mercedes Sosa, Atahualpa Yupanqui, V ctor Heredia, Horacio Guarany, Le n Gieco, Peteco Carabajal, among others) are melted together with our own songs. We emphasize composing songs which lyrics go from social problems (Chacarera de los Pobres, Pan y Circo) to those that go through the human soul and hart (Que dif cil es guardar un sue o, La soledad te espera), enlarging this way the folk and popular music song book. Our commitment: we try to go further than just words, sharing not only the feelings and truth of the songs, but also the real action of helping others. Thus, our interpretations are committed to sharing art, culture and the real solidarity: the one that gives and receives, the one that shares needs, joys, sorrows, dreams... Integration: since 2003, we have been performing integrated interpretations (music, story telling and dance). We started working together with the story tellers Stella Maris Garcia and Cecilia Paz in the pe a (a folkloric meeting, where you can listen to and dance folk music) La Compartida . We also participated in the production of the Jornadas de Decires Contares y Cantares at Porte a in the province of Cordoba. Together with Stella Maris Garc a we performed different interpretations, like Emociones compartidas , Suerte x Venir and Suerte x Venir Musica x un Libro , where music and story telling are melted and shared. We are also being accompanied by folklore dance since a long time ago, we have shared the same stage with many different folkloric ballets.

“The music of Paraguay is not played on many radio stations around the world, so most people never get a chance to hear it in their lifetime.  It is my hope that this website will introduce many visitors to this beautiful music and some of the great artists who perform it.  For others, it may bring back some special memories.  Many of my recordings are 25 years old, some were made 60 years ago.  They represent just a small portion of the rich and varied musical heritage of Paraguay.  The songs are sung in Guarani as well as in Spanish, which are the two languages of that country.”

站长是个伟大的人，谢谢他的分享。正如他所说，没有机会，我们或许一辈子也听不到这些远在巴拉圭的声音。拉丁的音乐都是混血的，巴拉圭也不例外，印第安人（瓜拉尼部族）的传统乐器，还有不可缺少的吉他与竖琴。歌都是站长费心从老唱片里弄出来的，时间为这些声音添加了更多绚烂或苍茫的色彩。

Oscar Reynolds显然是玻利维亚的一位牛人，他是一位安第斯长笛/排萧演奏者与工匠、吉他手、录音师，同时还是La Paz的一名律师。我同样懒得再翻译，去这里看吧。给个夸他的:The San Francisco Observer says, "Any flute player would marvel at the tight control over each note Reynolds displays while packing a stream of emotions into his complex scale runs, but to see him do that and play the guitar is quite impressive."

 关于他所使用的传统乐器：

 Thousands of years ago, the Ancient Incas created vibrant melodies with instruments made from bone, bamboo, wood, and other natural materials. Today's instruments are a living evolution of the traditional.咳，我还是下次再慢慢说吧。

可惜，都只有一分钟。

Inti-Illimani，来自智利，成军近四十年，发行专辑四十三张。

懒得翻译，这里有他们的传记。由最开始浓厚的拉美意识形态（民谣）到现在的成熟的World Music。“Since its inception, Inti-Illimani has promoted Latin American folk music worldwide, often in collaboration with some of the world's most renowned artists, including Federico Fellini, John Williams, Paco Peña, Patricio Manns, Arja Saijonmaa, Holly Near, Peter Gabriel, Mercedes Sosa, Wynton Marsalis, Sting, Youssou'n'Dour, Pete Seeger, and Bruce Springsteen. ”仅这些灿烂的名字，就可以确定他们绝不平庸，就好象南美洲任何一支未被欧洲球探注视到的球队一样，遗憾的是歌太少了，和和。

Los Koyas，五位音乐家来自安第斯山脉绵延穿越过的那些国家。风格如此丰富，融合了各个Andes国家与民族的特色，你可以听到不同的南美传统音乐风格与那些动人的乐器声响。在这个临近年关下着“淫”雨的午后，让俺心情好的不球行。别的没法介绍了，Google翻译没能帮上我的忙儿，不是西班牙语也不是葡萄牙，汗，并且头大，但是足够好听，这不就挺好么？语言不是障碍，封闭的耳朵大坨的耳屎才是。

这是Jim的地方——“I've been collecting music from the Andean Cordillera during college and for years afterward.”他一直在安静地搜集安第斯山民谣，从95年到现在，很多，相当多。无数有名字的歌手或者来自田野山间的录音，甚至还有Simon & Garfunkel 。他是个可爱的眼镜小伙子，谢谢。从阿空加瓜峰往下，雄鹰俯瞰过秘鲁、委内瑞拉、厄瓜多尔、玻利维亚、哥伦比亚直至阿根廷，18000公里遥望，沿途是雪山、印第安人以及无数的火山与森林，还有这些在群山间欢快流淌的音乐，如此动人。

Fiesta Andina，是个三人组。虽然他们都在欧洲（加拿大）生活，但这也算是纯正的安第斯民谣，叮叮咚咚，可爱得很。

这个已经可以搜到中文资料了，但是大多都是关于《Frida》和《Talk to Her》的OST中她那两首歌。当然，阿莫多瓦原声集不可不下啊！

这个老太太已年愈80，但她年轻的时候真是个美女。50年前的墨西哥，那个还年轻的女人穿上男人的衣服，随身总带着一把枪。让她“臭名昭著”的不是红斗篷、酗酒或者总象男人般叼着雪茄，而是她那不同的性取向——她爱女人，并且是公开地。甚至有人说她曾用枪挟持过一个女孩，尽管她否认这个谣言，可她承认腿上的残疾便与爱和伤害有关——一个女人拒绝了她的求爱，然后她便决然从窗口跳下。每次演出，她穿着墨西哥传统服饰，唱那些通常由男人们来唱的老情歌（Ranchera，墨西哥传统牧歌），公开地挑逗与诱惑台下的女观众。她就象她的歌所唱的那般奔放的浪漫与深掩的热烈，一个女人。

2000年的时候，她81岁，仍以女同的身份公然抛头露面。并且得到了西班牙伊莎贝尔大十字勋章，那玩意儿似乎被称做国家艺术从业者的最高荣誉。同年的10月，在墨西哥某份大报纸的访谈里，她说到：'I've had to confront society and the Church, which says that homosexuals are damned. That's absurd. How can someone who's born like this be judged? I didn't attend lesbian classes. No one taught me to be this way. I was born this way, from the moment I opened my eyes in this world. I've never been to bed with a man. Never. That's how pure I am; I have nothing to be ashamed of. My gods made me the way I am?'

她1919年生于哥斯达黎加，与她同时来到世上的还有先天性失明与小儿麻痹症。她自称被几个萨满治好了，14岁孤身一人带着吉他到墨西哥的街头卖唱，在那里她学会了Ranchera与酗酒，参透了生活与无望的爱情。等到终于唱出路来的时候，她已经在街头变老。《Frida》的OST里有她的歌很自然，因为她们俩本来就是朋友或者情人。她也是阿莫多瓦的老伙伴，《爱欲情狂》与《窗边玫瑰》都有她献唱。

以前听她的《黑鸽子》（Paloma Negra），总觉得与Rickie Lee Jones甚为神似，那是Joni Mitchell所没有的另一种姿态。同样是一把孤单的吉他伴着低哑的嗓音，渗着悲苦，那是漫长岁月酿的酒，浓烈、辛辣、醇厚并且醉人。或者说，她是女版的老汤姆。可今夜，她又把我唱哭了。

“你为你自己拿走了所有的乐趣/黑鸽子，黑鸽子，你往哪里去？/不要玩弄自尊/如果你的爱属于我而非他人。
纵使我疯狂地爱你，但别回来/黑鸽子，你是一个囚牢/我要自由地和我要的人一起生活/上帝啊给我力量吧，我一边寻找她一边走向死亡。”

Nobody，except for Jesus Christ can open their arms as Chavela Vargas does。

图片是随便选的，那里头歌也不多，最大的障碍是语言啊，我查出来的网页们让我窝火，全都不认识，Google翻译得一塌糊涂。

学初中历史的时候，我就做了玻利瓦尔与圣马丁的粉丝。一直搞不清秘密会谈到底谈了些么子，何塞就把兵权交给西蒙了。《瓜亚基尔》对这个问题似乎阐述得比较恶毒。说多了，正题：

南美是人种也是艺术的大熔炉。玻利维亚传承了印加文明，同时它的传统音乐融合了殖民者（西班牙）、印第安以及非洲的元素。玻利维亚与秘鲁、厄瓜多尔以及智利与阿根廷的某些地区同属安第斯山区，这些地方的音乐独立为一种风格。黄皮肤的印第安人没有和声与弦乐，神秘的排萧、竖笛、埙、以及那些天然的乐器与奔放的佛拉门戈吉他缠绕了几百年。

OK，同样来自哥斯达黎加，因为实在不沾边儿，就分开说咯。

雷鬼的编制一般都比较庞大，并且里头肯定有人留着小强都不乐意去的小辫儿头（瞧那俩黑兄弟，多邋遢）。看看这个Bamaselo，他们来自首都圣何塞，人员也够多的，不知他们如何管理滴。嗷！我爱雷鬼，懒得翻译了，去这里看他们双语的传记吧。至于这个根源嘛，他们倒似乎缺点儿。

我想啊，等老子学了鸟语后，我要带着媳妇儿去南美呀，去看看格拉玛，看看那个老瞎子的图书馆，看看高乔人的大草原与智利的雪山，当然还有河床的主场与阿兹特克的遗迹玛雅人的丛林。哦，还有头发又长又卷的拉美妞儿。

哦，要PS一下。

1、“Bamaselo”在西班牙语里呢，是“让我们做吧做吧做吧”的意思，真够色。

2、他们的网站做得真差劲儿。

除了戈麦斯与万乔普，其实这个1821年从西班牙手下独立的小国象任何一个南美国家般，到处都有叫何塞、加西亚或者阿方索的诗人与小说家，他们都弹着舌头说话，饮烈酒，卷曲头发。

有必要先说说这个Genre——Nueva Cancion，西班牙语，意思是新歌谣。那是60年代由阿根廷与智利发轫的新民歌运动。它与政治扯上了关系，歌唱人民、爱、土地、人权，反抗独裁。Violetta Parra、Mercedes Sosa（相信喜欢美州音乐的朋友应该知道这位可敬的老太太）以及Victor Jara都是其代表人物。到70年代初，阿连德被美国佬和皮诺切特推翻后，Jara被皮杀害，Sosa被阿根廷流放，Nueva Cancion遭到整个南美洲所镇压，因为Nueva Cancion会唱醒大众。

在哥斯达黎加一门叫做"Cabecar"的古老土语中，Delye的意思是"Everyday Life"。他们成军于98年，直到今年才出了这张《Rasgos》。在我能找的这两首歌里，似乎也有些独立民谣的影子。十孔口琴和吉他，那些仿佛来自美洲丛林的鼓点，众多拉丁风格的融合，如此可爱，可惜我听不懂鸟语。但是他们的女主唱声音象她长得那么可爱，我又准备给他们写信啦，H-I-A。

“Against everyday life, full of wars, conflicts, violence; Dëlyë, whose name means 'everyday life' in an ancient Costa Rican language called Cabecar, propose with their music and lyrics something different: come back to our personal roots to end with the violence.”

喜欢这样的真诚。
