Left Shoulder Pain Causes

Exclusive interview with Venezuelan leader of the group 20/20 (bonus: songs in vivo). Confirmed

Friends is for me a pleasure and a great satisfaction to have achieved during these two years I published my blog "MEMORIES 80TAS, 90TAS AND MORE ", interview (which I never imagined) to characters I admired since childhood to be part of groups that I grew up and went through one of the most difficult and most beautiful time in the life of all , adolescence. Figures like Daniel Verdi (Kashmir), Alexis Peña (Iceberg), Gilberto Bermúdez (Hydra), Nicky Scarola (Resistance), Gerardo Ubiedo (Iceberg), Felix Duque (Radio Clip) gave us the opportunity to learn more about their lives and careers but also showed that apart from being excellent musicians are much better as people. Forever thank them for helping selflessly to translate what I consider one of the best decades of National Rock. Today
December 24, 2007, on the eve of the celebration of Christmas I have the immense pride of being able to define and finalize an interview I always thought I could not miss this blog and is nothing more and nothing less than Mannel (Manuel Muñoz) lead singer of the excellent group 20/20 (also an excellent human being), a successful group in a few years filled our minds with catchy melodies that even today echoes in our collective memory. Our friend Mannel also brings a tremendous Christmas present you only get exclusively on this page are treated unreleased live tracks 20/20 (including a presentation is made in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bSpain). You know listen to them and lower them to your computer (as I have explained many times) and it is worth supesto to express your gratitude to comment Mannel by such a gift. All that remains is to wish you a very Merry Christmas to you and the musicians who contributed to this blog. See you soon if you come to realize the interview with Feed Back, if not, farewell, and thanks for sharing with me these two years, a big hug. Jhony

Interview with Manuel Muñoz:

"In most people the ability for music is something intrinsic that comes from birth, however, many other skills acquired through study. Which of these was your case? Already had these concerns for music since childhood?

Since very little I began to have fun with music, was 11 when I discovered that I liked this way of expressing a series of internal events that could not express with other disciplines. It was in early high school and studying with the Salesians in the Liceo San José de los Teques, when I discovered my true vocation, priests from the high school helped me tremendously. I decided at some point in my life (still young) to study music, either on my own and with some teachers, of those very good and some not so good, you go through life letting everyone the idea embodied in this in my case. I've never seen a child prodigy or anything, but people will see one as a marvel and it is almost inevitable ...
I managed to get the level of musicianship and artist, thanks to my constant effort to study and overcome these internal obstacles that as a human being and musician have touched me .... I'm not a virtuoso, nor be interested in me, the virtuoso is a being destined to suffer too ...


"In the musicians often devote himself entirely to music creates a conflict between art and a profession in which you always have to sacrifice any of the two, but in your case has been led by the hand as the music as a university. How do you maintain this balance and make being apart of a professional musician, to be nothing more and nothing less than an engineer of the Republic?

God's timing is perfect ... therefore there is always time for everything, no one forced me at any time to study music and no one forces me yet, and no one forced me to study engineering at the UNIVERSITY CENTRAL DE VENEZUELA. .. Since 1985 trying to be a professional in the music and also a music professional. For many years now, I have endeavored to be a good professional engineering, being a professional in the music. Music and engineering, are the same thing, from the artistic point of view, and that something must be engineer ... and from the quantitative point of view, in both disciplines must always tell. The Chinese call the music "ENGINEERING THE SOUL" ...

-At the family level, your parents were happy for you to drive between these two alternatives (Engineer-Musician)?

my father always objected to my profession musician .., never opposed to other options in which walked my professional life.


-Where and at what age studying music?

studied on my own, until I formalized my musical studies at the Conservatorio de Música Simón Bolívar de Caracas, from the year 1992, where I worked as a student to claim the title Bass Master Performer. I attended several workshops with many teachers in the academic and popular music, such as Vytas Cereica, Garry Carr, Jeff Berlin, among others.


-You started making music at a young age. What were your first groups before 20/20?

From 1977 until I was 80 bass player of a fusion rock band called "TEGNIATUS" ... from the year 1983 was co-founder of Banda "HYDRA" with my former colleagues TEGNIATUS: Angel Taramona and Gilberto Bermudez . In 1985 I founded a band called "POST-DATA" with what I revealed in the national media, up to meet FRANK QUINTERO. This Venezuelan Pop legend was the first album the band 20/20.

-How born 20/20?
Frank
When programmed with the pre-production POSTDATA, this band was suddenly dissolved by different criteria and then Frank suggests that we should direct the matter to a solo production called "Mannel. After much stress on the idea of \u200b\u200bforming a band with a pitch to be successful in a market full of soloists, FRANK QUINTERO accesses the idea to form another band and then I started to recruit the same characters ...

- always linked the name 20/20 as the highest aspiration in terms of a student's score .. What does this name?

Perfect Vision 20/20 is ..


-Who made up 20/20?

The first person I shared with him my anxiety was at that time Taramona ANGEL, former drummer and guitarist Ulises HYDRA MILLAN (currently based in USA)

HYDRA-In the group was vocalist Gilberto Bermúdez but 20/20 "is you who takes the reins of the song (apart from the bass). Was this some kind of emergency by not sing or who were already aware that you had a good voice?

At that time, I was a singer with little experience vocal and Angel and I decided to seek a substitute to replace Gilberto ... this task was not successful and we decided to leave it that size. That was 1,985.

-The time elapsed since the birth of 20/20 until the completion of the first LP? They play a lot of doors for it?

passed just four months from the time I made personal and professional contact with FRANK QUINTERO.

"As influenced the confidence of the group would benefit from knowing that Frank Quintero as a producer? Already knew?
CF
Nobody knew ... just me and my dreams had come in contact with such a monster of music, of course, this was very attractive to people who were sold the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing on 20/20.

"Unlike the recordings he made with the group HYDRA this time we have more technical support and high quality guest musicians to perform this work. How was the atmosphere that is breathed into the recording studio?

was an experience to remember for a lifetime ... learn CF, LEO QUINTERO (brother and guitarist CF), NENE QUINTERO, EZEQUIEL SERRANO, Otmar Ruiz, among others, to learn from these people was and is a wonderful thing.


-Why this predilection to play in threes? Does not require that much more of you as musicians? Always

I've been a fan of the band a trio ... not only in terms of instrumentation, but also at the level of training .... Rush, The Police, ELP, King Crimson, among others. It's a double edged sword ... usually, musicians who played in numerous groups tend to "sit back" of our fellow scorpion ... in a trio, this is impossible ... to play with the meaning of silence ... it gives importance to various aspects of harmonic, melodic and timbre that might not exist in many groups. My motto is: three is one ... more than three is chaos.

"Who composed the songs of 20/20?

Myself in most of the topics proposed for the first album ... year 1,988.

-It is said that at the time of the recording of uncertain wind, there was a special atmosphere in the study by Otmar Ruiz was inspired to be made in the implementation of the theme "An uncertain wind" which to date has been impossible to carry that theme as it as it appears on the recording. Is this true?

is quite true ... at least in piano, however, our friend Carlos Cabrices, who is the current guitarist of 20/20, has an unparalleled work, when to replace a piano solo only guitar, inspired by the work of Otmar.


"As was the acceptance of the first and only job of 20/20?

public acceptance was immediate, exceeding sales reports over the gold record for the season ...


-On what sites do you have? Go outside the country?


At first we present opening at major national shows of artists: Témpano, Aditus, etc, and international artists: THE LAST IN LINE, among others. We also made 5 presentations with this English band, as part of his staff ... I played Angel bass and drums for the time.


-The song "The more" comes from time with Hydra?

Yes, he was part of the preproduction of the second work of HYDRA.


-many considered to ud.s like Soda's Venezuela. What is your opinion of this?


is an honor to be considered or compared with prestigious bands ...

"Aside from the video they made with Erica Tucker in his" In Touch ", made other videos? Basically

not, however, make a number of local television appearances ...


-By spreading 20/20 if he had gained entry into the public taste of those years?

At that time, was preparing the second album by the band, but enters a new financial crisis in our country, so the record will bear us decapitalizing gradually to give us freedom.


-What do you think that influences the fact that after nearly 20 years people still remember and listen to tracks from 20/20 with nostalgia? Your songs will become classics of Rock National?

not for me to answer that, but we can not ignore that, fortunately, were, are and will hit songs that were made for this purpose.


"That you abandon the project after 20/20?

I offered to perform a solo work that eventually was called "LOVERS AND OCEANS" and this server was responsible to come forward. I began to realize my musical studies at the Conservatory of Music Simon Bolivar Caracas, among other activities.


However -made sporadic appearances with 20/20, right?

Yes, but nothing relevant.

"Tell us how was your experience of playing after all these years (2002) in Spain?

is very hard to venture outside our borders ... I have the luck to have dual nationality, but always end up being foreigners ... We played in many places, including Venezuelan public had filed or passing through Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwe was very, very well ... there are live recordings from that experience, ready to be released on CD.

"It's true you do a solo project? It was published the same?

not published for now, but I realized in the year 1992-93 ... LOVERS AND OCEANS was called and identified himself as Mannel.

"In other countries has been remastered and digitized much of the work of rock recorded at the time of acetate. Why do you think the record companies in our country have not done?

Why in the alleged record of our beloved country, it employs people who know the business of the disc, therefore, to develop the career of an artist ... simply are advertisers with airs of record managers ... do not know the difference between a tin of sardines and a CD.


-Currently that you do and that future plans for you musically?

Right now I work to accompany FRANK QUINTERO as bassist and singer of his band, HANNY Kauan, ROQUE VALERO, aditus (with whom I shared ranks from 1,994 to 1,997 and with whom I maintain a great relationship), etc. Venezuelan artists ... and engineering, I have the honor of belonging to the staff workers of the company Odebrecht. You see I have some complicated agenda ... and I thank God.

a -rumored return of Banda Hydra, right?

We seriously propose schemes for the meeting ... kids are already mature and false ego was almost defeated ... we work as brothers and is on the horizon a project with faith in God, will be talking about ... surely ... I hope well.


"Who is the vocalist for this new version of Hydra?

GILBERTO Initially BERMUDEZ, but he and ANGEL OF Taramona insist that we have two main voices ... anyway, as I'm concerned, I would be in that deal because among the leading voice on some issues , bass, Chapman stick, among other instruments, see what happens ...!


"When we have good news about Hydra?


'm sure for the 2008 ... hear it: for 2008.


"Certainly I had the opportunity to attend a concert by Frank Quintero and his friends and were pleasantly surprised to see that among the select group of musicians in this show.

If we both know well before the initial project to develop 20/20 and is an honor and a great opportunity that life gives me join the ranks of such and so great POP LEGEND IN VENEZUELA ...! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


-Manel away thanks for your time space to answer these questions and especially the friendliness and willingness with which you have.

Thank you all for allowing a system to approach a little heart ... friends forever and we will soon live ... supporting our music and singing together as many songs we ... Friends forever ....

20/20 'interview with

already close to meeting the goals it had established for this Blog to present the groups that I wanted to promote (so hard to get information before) I am about to arrange an interview with Mannel Muñoz, leader of the group 20/20 and the surprise to everyone that will put some new songs and live so they can download them (which will not get anywhere else.) I just hope to realize the scheduled interview on Feed Back definitively to stop publishing it. Anyway, I worry to keep running the videos and songs contained here. Today rain blogs devoted to the eighties scene but remember that this was perhaps one of the first to devote himself to rescue the best of those years and is a pleasure that many others will stick in this wave. The task is done and maybe we meet again when many are again longing for the years 90'so perhaps the 00's.

Urband Mannel (National Rock 80's) "The Voice of the City"

Long before our country will be heard in rock fusion groups like Maná Caribbean, a group of young talented Venezuelans gathered to present a genuine proposal that plays with influences like rock, reggae, bolero, ballads, rumba, jazz and salsa. Urband created in 1987 and recorded his first LP in 1989 under the name "The Voice of the City" theme with which debuted well in the national scene playing on the radio country radio. Urband was made for this first album by Jesus Enrique Hidalgo (vocals, director), John Lison (keyboards), Pablo Gonzalez (guitar, vocals), Alfredo Demey (sax, flute and viola), Jose Angel Demey (drums), Jaime Enrique Hidalgo (keyboards, harmonica) and David Jaen (percussion). The talent of these young people was more than obvious which is reflected in this his first job. In 1991 they released their second album "Provoking" which is very far over rock style and my taste too. After many years I could get this working again with a more open (for I confess that in my years only high school student I liked the songs "Temptation" and "Voice of the City") I think it was extraordinary what did these guys and a huge export quality. As everyone knows now the brothers met again re Hidalgo playing bolero style issues and call themselves "The Hill." I hope you enjoy this happy memory.

A day of golf with Juan Pablo Montoya

Today November 24, I accompanied my parents to an event of their work in the San Andrés Club for them to make some pictures. And I was so excited, but then I saw that there was Juan Pablo Montoya and I was very excited, and wanted to take a picture with him and then I took it.

I liked because it was an idol that I had three or four years and had never seen and so I took the opportunity to take my picture, as you can see.

Besides that I could see the competition among many celebrities and professional golfers. I also played a golf tournament for Nintendo Wii participating in two categories: Children (under 15 years) and large (16 to below). Many of these children were very good to play golf and knew all the terms used in that sport. Instead I was a beginner did not even know what a Eagle.

I signed up last and thought I could not go to the next round of the tournament, when suddenly told that I was tied for the final, with another child. My mom, my sister and I were very surprised because to be a beginner at this game I had done very well. Then, when they played all the adult participants took the tiebreaker in children.

was a boy of eight years against me, but he was more experienced and his entire family was of golfers who made her bar and I was very nervous. Which managed to win it had a Wii. For one coup, he managed to win me. The important thing was that I had fun and I was proud to have reached the final, the first time I played golf on Wii.
eo
And it was really fun today with my parents because I could be with them and learn a real golf course. Chao

ANKLA RADIO (NATIONAL ROCK THE 80'S) SONGS AND STORY.

I do not feel identified with the act of copying and pasting articles made by other people (which I confess to have made a couple of times) for simple respect for their authors but in this case I took the Dare to do so because the lack of updated information on the members of the group Ankla (excellent group emerged in the mid-eighties.) This information took a very good work in a regional newspaper called "El Tiempo" and reflected by Flor Farias who updates us after many years on what became of the members of this group. With nothing more to say and I present this story as a gift Ankla first album called "Fantasy" ...

Pd. The photos of the group also belong to this issue of "Time."
Pd2. If anyone can get in touch with this blog Ankla guys are grateful.


After 20 years, the group remains in force
Ankla Next to launch his fourth album, Angel Graffe account how was the experience left them success by rock-pop band Ankla the 80's and early 90's, when Venezuela and traveled abroad with major artists of the time
Flor FARÍAS

PUERTO LA CRUZ .- Facing the unexpected success of Ankla being so Young Angel Graffe was earning a lot of experience, traveling to countries like Mexico and stand before an audience that screamed wildly for songs like "Try to live without seeing", "Stories" and "Time goes," among many others.

Thus he, along with the rest of the musicians, meet much of their dream: an appearance on the Sabado Sensacional -They did on several occasions, which was an important springboard to be released and put on the radio several of the tracks on the album "Fantasia."

"Ankla went from being a provincial group of Puerto La Cruz, a national touring artists such as Ricardo Montaner, Ilan Chester, Yordano, Agni Mogollon and Melissa, the music stars at the time of the 80 and 90 were the best. "

also part of the "tour groups" where they shared the stage with other national groups as additus time, Floe and Pentagon.

already for 1991, building on the success of "Fantasia" was released the group's second album which they called "In Front", which involved musicians like Frank Quintero, Yordano and Frank Sinatra, and others like Carlos Pucchi.

A Pop-Latino style Graffe
that hopefully this album sounded much more national than the first, coming to occupy the top tracks like "Tu", "Best friend" and "bald."

"style pop Ankla was always a light touch to Latinos, much like they do today Juanes Los Babys, and we did it 90 years," says Angel.

But in the 1992, problems began for the label Rodven, because they start out the CD, worsened the economic situation, and record companies decide to work only with international talent, so it broke off relations.

However, Ankla managed to get the third disc, "American Dance", production of which only became known to the track "Reflections", because they had the promotion that had made the earlier works, and in view of the number of subjects they had written, began to give some to other artists such as the Project Group M, Gerges, and producer Rudy La Scala, who until now in constant contact.

And despite all the difficulties they had with the record companies, from then until today Ankla has not stopped playing or a weekend, she says Angel. Disco


Del Ankla door today only vocalist and drummer, because two years ago they became part of the Boner Alfonso (bass), Nelly Zambrano (vocals), Oscar Silveira (keyboards) and Abelardo Morales (guitar). Together

two years playing in Bambuda Bar, and thanks to the collaboration of employers and Jean Franco Agostinoni (father and son), along with Ruddy La Scala, are preparing a new CD out thinking next year, with new songs group.

“Para el disco que viene las letras son mucho más maduras, hablan de lo que se debe y lo que no se debe hacer, son más profundas que hace 20 años”, indicó el cantante.

Lo que no perderán será el estilo que identificó al grupo, “Ankla siempre tuvo un estilo, y para el nuevo disco lo vamos a mantener, pero sin olvidarnos de las nuevas generaciones, esa es nuestra esencia”, dice Graffe.

El nombre lo escogerán a través del un concurso por Internet, y dice el cantante que este material se lo debe a su hijo Ángel Daniel, de 15 años, quien ha sido el principal motivador de este sueño.

“Él cree más en mí I myself, like my other son Daniel Alejandro, 10, who are my fans. " Confidence

work
According to the vocalist, this is the only local group that has recorded more albums, they were many weeks in the top ten national and traveled all over for concerts.

As a message to the groups in training them not to copy styles or imitate anyone, just have to be satisfied, and once you have your hard, fight for it, but everyone says it does not work. "Trust in what they did because of thousand gates are closed, open." Angel

also thank you to the public Monagas state, which occur with some frequency because there are a club of fans and sold out to see them play.

"None of the musicians stop playing Ankla might not know how to live without music. Is a vice and a passion to which we owe much of what we have, and which also have lost many things. It's a double edged sword. " I tried to live

Exclusive Interview with Gilberto Bermúdez (founder of Hydra Group)

Many of the musicians who serve on the music scene of 80's years in one way or another participated in rock pools, years later would prove partake of the Venezuelan music scene to work as producers and musicians career. This has been the case the likes of Frank Quintero, Pedro Castillo and a myriad of musicians that quite apart from their work publicly known have participated in the creative processes of many of the artists we know today, or we remember from decades past. Today I have the immense pride to interview a character that often keeps low profile but has the merit to participate actively in the national music scene, originally with his group "Hydra" and later by figures such as Ricardo Montaner, Melissa, Franco de Vita, Frank Quintero, Pedro Castillo, etc. We are talking of Mr. Gilberto Bermudez who was one of the founders of the Hydra cluster, a group that later would become 20 / 20. At the end of the interview can be found Hydra group items from his album "From one side to the other," I hope you enjoy this interview:

Interview with Gilberto Bermúdez-Who

detected first in your family that no one had an aptitude for music? How was the support from your parents?
The first person who noticed my aptitude for music was my maternal grandmother, Ana Luisa. She was an excellent pianist and from tiny moments I spent listening and watching how he played the piano. In my three years old, my grandmother advised my parents to put me to study music, as I repeated many of the things she touched. Without doubt, my grandmother knew I had a musical ear. Also, I loved to sing anything from tiny! Had it not been for my grandmother and my parents, who knows what would be my life now!


-studied music? Where?
Yes I studied music, of course. At four years old my parents enrolled me in a music school in my hometown of Maracaibo. I was a student of piano with Professor Eva Hermann, a German teacher based in Maracaibo. Also with Professor Josephine Cintron. They had a choir of children and in parallel began to sing and make music with my voice too. Accompanying my parents on their trips, I also studied music in Madrid and in Florence, and in Long Island, NY, USA. Upon returning to Venezuela, studied at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Simón Bolívar, El Paraíso, Caracas and in the Latin American School of Singing Carmen Teresa Hurtado, Caracas. In the area of \u200b\u200bClassical Singing I've been extremely fortunate to study with teachers Claudio Muskus, Irina Niculescu, Katia Ricciarelli, Isabel Palacios, Sara Catarine and renowned soprano Mirella Freni. I remember the "punishment" he received when doing something naughty, was the prohibition of playing the piano in my house ... it made me understand very early that I could not live without music. It was really that for me: a punishment.

-You started making music at a young age. In that age your first forays into musical group?
Arguably the first musical group to which I belonged was the choir of my school. I was just four years.

"When you discover that the music rather than a passion, would be a way of life for you and you could live on it?
was almost by chance, since I studied law at Andrés Bello Catholic University, Caracas, graduating as a lawyer. Say "was in the right place at the right time." They needed a keyboard to read music well, in order to integrate the Venezuelan singer Banda Colina. La Banda's headed guitarist Leo Quintero brother Frank Quintero. I auditioned and was selected.

Hydra "As born and who's made up?
Hydra is the result of the union of three persons: Mannel Muñoz (Bass), Angel Of Taramona (drums) and I (Keyboards and Vocals). All three studied at the Liceo San Jose de Los Teques and always made music together. The idea of \u200b\u200bforming a rock band with progressive tendencies, perhaps symphony ..., and Hydra born. We liked (and still we like) Yes, Styx, Gino Vannelli, Supertramp, Toto, etc. There were three Chamita with a huge desire to make music. We only had about 16 or 17 years old. Angel Mannel are talentosísimos ... and we are such good friends that one could say that we are almost brothers. Hydra is a consequence of the union of three great friends. That was the early '80s and now our friendship is even more profound: Angel and Mannel today form part of my family.

-The Hydra lyrics were very cool, simple and enjoyable. In that inspires you to compose?
composition work together Mannel always gave me a quick result, good standard and mostly very nice! The writing process we were given (and still gives us) with great ease, almost magical. Of course, every one of us up also individual, but always struck me the pair-Muñoz Bermúdez. Angel has very good songs and lyrics. In many of our songs involved three (most notably in the arrangements.) The important thing to remember is that we were three shaman who was not yet 20 years old. The theme of the lyrics of course reflected the experiences, feelings and dreams of a young man of that age. I dare say that with respect to the contents of the letters, Mannel was always more mature and deep, while the innocence came from Angel and me.

"Your tone of voice always sounded very similar to Pedro Castillo. Were aware of it?
hehehehe ...! In fact, I was not aware of it! Although much admired and Aditus Témpano group, I never thought that my voice seems both Peter, who certainly knew at that time and have maintained a close friendship since then, to the point that he invited me Aditus tests and Iceberg, which groups together to share the stage many times. Pedro Castillo is definitely a pop icon of Venezuelan music to me compared to only I can understand as a huge compliment! More recently, I played with Peter in his solo concerts. The idea is to always enjoy what you do and it is difficult not pass super well with it!

"Once released on LP. "From shore to shore," as the host of the public and the support of the label?
The Hydra album, "From one side to the other" was the result of hard work and dedication. We must remember that Angel, Mannel and I were students: Angel studying architecture, and I Mannel Ingeriería Civil Law (and we all eventually graduated.) The time you were spending a Hydra really worth gold! The label "Discomoda" was interested in us and offered us a recording contract under seal "Mucer." What I did not tell us was that we would have to record everything in a week and playing all live in the studio! Perhaps our inexperience in that direction did not allow us to realize what was happening. The sad truth is that this album sounds very bad. But we believed in our proposal and we carry the best we could. Despite its poor sound (a subject that completely escaped our hands), the public received our album with great interest and pleasure. Remember also that in that time, no sequencers, everything was played live! And the decision not to include the recording guitars also gave us a very particular sound, although we sometimes concerts we presented with a guitarist. We never imagined that so many people come to listen and sing our songs! One of the things I remember to play live with Hydra was this: to see the audience empathize and sing with us! It felt like no other new to me. I felt honored to see that our music liked so much! Discomoda we only recorded the album, never received more support from them. Everything else (concerts, tours, TV, radio, etc) was in our hands. Remember "Radio 790AM Difusora Venezuela? Around the same time, our friend and excellent announcer Marisela Bonilla got Hydra recorded the jingle that identified the station. That was my first foray into commercial jingles, work performed to date every day!

- and public presentations? That sites are presented?
As I recall, Hydra was made in the Polyhedron of Caracas, in the UTAL (San Antonio de Los Altos, Miranda). Also at the Concha Acústica de Bello Monte, Caracas. Also at the Plaza Brion in Chacaíto. In Puerto La Cruz played in the club of the then Hotel Meliá Puerto La Cruz. But many other sites that I can not remember ...

-Who were your musical idols in those years? Once
Mannel lent me an album of Gino Vannelli. Since that day I am a deep admirer of your work! Of course, Yes it was an inevitable influence too. And Queen has always struck me (maybe for that mix the lyrical rock, do not know, but the four musicians who formed Queen always left me speechless! The ability, stage presence and management of Freddy Mercury is a school for any engaged in this!)

"Your concern was always the" pop "or I was struck other genres?
I think the "pop" was the "natural", so maybe he felt more comfortable doing. However, there are always mergers genres in music you do. The rock is there. So "progressive" or "symphonic." I love fusion, but pop certainly is Hydra.

Hydra-edited many discs?
Only one: "From one side to the Other"

-Why leave the group?
At birth my first child, Carol, my life was complicated as expected. And did not have the time to devote to Hydra. I thought that the most "sensible" was to leave it there. I concentrated my efforts on working and making money to support my wife and daughter.

20/20 -The group born from the dissolution of Hydra. You can say you're the fourth member fee 20 / 20?
Hehehe! Well, that would have to ask Mannel or Angel, but I identify themselves emotionally. While I never played with 20/20, there are songs of this group to develop as Hydra: "The Gambler" and "Much More" are two of them. In any case, I always felt proud of my teammates and the success of 20/20.

"How is your relationship with the boys of 20/20 after leaving the band?
There are friendships that are lifelong and friendship which binds me to Mannel and Angel is one of them. I called them an opportunity to integrate the singer Delia Banda, of which I was Director. I think that was the last time we played all three together. While then we drifted apart a bit because of the commitments of each, always kept in touch with them. Could not be otherwise: as I said before, Mannel and Angel are part of my family. In the early 90's, I had the opportunity of producing and composing the songs for the band "The Cham", specifically the CD "Out of Darkness." Then also the first CD produced by the singer "Xiva." For this we Mannel collaboration in composition of many of the songs we recorded. This opportunity provided a reunion with Mannel, composing music again as we had always done: with great fluency and ease. Once again it was a very pleasant experience.

"Your career does not end with the release of Hydra and just start your long journey on the national scene. Tell us how was your experience working (in one of the most productive decades in terms of national talent) with the likes of Frank Quintero, Melissa, Ricardo Montaner, Felix Duque, Guillermo Carrasco, Pedro Castillo, etc?
The ability to work as a singer and keyboardist with all these artists was something that immediately assimilated as a way of living. The income was good and I felt really fortunate to work on something that I liked as much as the music and also get paid well for it! Leo Quintero (director of Hill's band, artist who really started) introduced me to his brother Frank Quintero. Touching, sharing music and traveling with Quintero was undoubtedly a real school for me. I think that most of the tools we use today as a musician I owe them both. Frank is a friend whom I esteem, respect and greatly appreciate. Her CD "Good" was recorded in Los Angeles, CA, USA in 1999. I was there with Frank, with Peter Castillo Nelson Sarda, Leo Quintero, Abraham Laboriel, Alex Acuna, Vinnie Colaiuta, Don Grusin, and Jerry Hay, among others. And with regard to the latter, the truth is that never have known and shared with fellow luminaries of music it not been for Frank. I remember Peter Nelson, Leo and I went to see Scott Henderson playing in Los Angeles, with his band "Tribal Tech". Uuuufff! Impressive indeed! Twenty years have passed since I entered the band and even today Frank Quintero Frank invited me to play his music with him, which is a privilege, an honor and a pleasure. Melissa worked well. I remember his time as "queen of rock! Thanks to her, I met Ricardo Montaner, who appointed me Director of Banda in the period from 1987 to 1991. Ricardo made tours throughout America and I remember singing in the chorus of his album "A Touch of Mystery" with my buddy Felix Duque, who then worked in the group "Barranco", which was also Director. Guillermo Carrasco is a gentleman, a great musician with a wonderful voice. You could say that playing with him is never a "work" because it is too funny, artistic and enjoyable! Since 1999, also played Soledad Bravo, wonderful artist and singer. I was with Loneliness in the city of Hannover, Germany Expo 2000 World and in Morocco in 2004. I participated as a singer in the show "Navijazz" with the excellent jazz pianist Gerry Weil (who was my teacher of Contemporary Harmony) in December 2006 (I think I invited again this year.) I really am lucky: I can not complain!

"Certainly we've seen it work, nothing more and nothing less than Franco de Vita. From when you work with him and how has your experience within the team of Franco?
Franco's case is curious: I always wanted to play with him, but the opportunity never presented itself. I even went to see live concerts with my wife! But finally happen in 1992, Luis Romero (musician, keyboardist and music producer) called me to join the chorus of the album "voices around me." Of course, I went away! I had already crossed several times with Franco in Venezuela and abroad on various occasions, but this time I shared many days with him and all the crew, musicians and engineers. of his new album. I got to know them better. Singing in the chorus of songs like "Hot and Cold", "do not die Hope", etc. has no description! His proposal innovative and always seemed very "cutting edge" to what you used to listen in Venezuela for the moment. However, it was four more years before Franco himself called me to join his band live. I had just had surgery for myopia with laser, but I agreed! A few days later I went to Franco to Cuzco, Peru, and there was my first concert with him. It was December 1996. Since then I have worked with him and I have eleven years there! Incredible! I have known and traveled throughout North, Central and South America and Europe. Just days ago I was at home in Madrid (I spent my birthday there, October 11). We did three concerts: Madrid, Vigo and Tenerife. It seems that things are only at the time. My experience with Franco De Vita a story in full progress.

-many countries have you visited in your role as a musician?
Wow! Difficult to answer, but I will attempt: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Aruba, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico (I go once a month with Franco), USA, Spain, Germany and Morocco ...! A lint! Hahaha!

-Gilberto, has proven to be a very versatile musician but few would imagine you singing "opera" and yet you do it extremely well. As you discover you have the potential to sing this music?
Well, that comes from little me! My grandmother and my mom always listened to classical music, opera and operetta. I grew up listening too, so I developed a taste for aesthetics. I used to lock in a closet of my house and sing (perhaps scream?!) Discs with Pavarotti! He did it to not annoy my brothers and perhaps that they thought I was crazy! A day at the Conservatory I approached a teacher of Classical Singing and asked his opinion about my vocal possibilities. The result was that I began to study singing seriously, which I am grateful for definitely work with my voice, to her I make my living in concert and tenor (in opera and oratorio, as well as the Brahms Ensemble de Caracas), and singer-announcer on commercial jingles, as well as speaker-narrator of several programs E! Entertainment Television, History Channel, A & E, among others, and not to mention the live concerts with Franco De Vita! My voice is my life: thanks to her I progressed in my career all these years. Have learned to use it properly is invaluable and is the best investment I ever made in my life.

-on You Tube you can see your interpretation of the opera "Don Giovanni" and observed that you have a pronunciation leagues perfect Italian. How do you reach that level of proficiency?
From tiny few years I lived in Florence, Italy. I learned the correct pronunciation of Italian Fiorentino, which is fortunately the one used in the opera. During my years of studying opera, was given particular attention to the phonetics of the languages \u200b\u200bItalian, French and German. This is because a singer must handle these languages \u200b\u200bbordering on perfection. Fortunately, I have a language with ease! I am bilingual English-English because of the years I lived in New York, USA. In the Lyric Opera and in general, I believe that diction should be as seamless as possible. It is a way to respect the composer and the public to speak the language you are singing. There are singers with different levels of diction, and personally I care to employ a proper phonetics of respect for the public and myself, do not conceive it otherwise. The YouTube video is my debut in the character of "Don Ottavio" in the opera "Don Giovanni." After that, several times I've sung Don Ottavio, led once by Gustavo Dudamel. I am also the tenor of the group "Ensemble Brahms of Caracas since 2003. I have sung leading roles in operas, Madama Butterfly, Rita, L'Elisir D'amore, Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni. Opera and Singing is my passion: to them I spent long hours and years of study and as my voice answer and still there, alive, I will continue singing because it is the only way I know to express from the soul. The role of Don Giovanni that goes on YouTube became an event that will never forget: I sang on November 5, 2004. Four days later, on November 9, my Dad died after a long illness. I caught this show a recording of Don Giovanni. It was the last thing I heard Dad sing.

"We have information that you participate in a company produces many of the jingles you hear on radio and television. Tell us about that ..!
Indeed, it is. Working for years with my "triple colleague" (lawyer, musician and broadcaster) Boris Bossio. Our company is called "BBmusik (www.bbmusik.com) and we are dedicated to producing commercial jingles for radio and television. Boris is a talented colleague and solvency, and therefore consider it so once asked me fill in the Banda de Franco De Vita for some concerts in Bolivia and Paraguay (2005), since I was seven performances of the opera Rita (Donizetti) in Caracas and could not travel. Currently, among its clients BBmusik a: Skechers, Domino's Pizza, Amazon Grill, Lavansa, RapidFot and many more. For me, constantly recorded as an announcer-singer in jingles for McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Intertel, Renault, and Banco del Caribe, among many others. Incidentally, my youngest daughter, Nicole, has a beautiful voice! Makes phrases and sings in many of the jingles we produce, every time a child's voice is needed! And my oldest daughter, Carol, has made a career from his twelve years as an announcer in jingles Mattel Barbie (produced by the talented fellow musician and best friend, Juan Angel Esquivel). It was no surprise when the graduate's degree, Carol told me that it would study communication Social! (Perhaps the race that I had to study me!)

"I have also understood that you were involved in some television programs and bundles of speaker in some international cable channels ...
That's right. I am English-language broadcaster "Celebrity Profile" E! Entertainment Television, as well as "Modern Marvels" on History Channel and "Matesfera" of A & E Mundo. I participated as a professor of singing at the "Music Stars" (Venevision - 2002).

"You brought a reunion with your former classmates band, as well as Hydra or 20/20?
Definitely yes! Long ago he come running around to the idea! With the experience we have after all these years, imagine what could come! Recently I met at concerts Mannel Frank Quintero (Mannel currently bassist Frank). I remember a couple of months Mannel and I had dinner at the Margarita Island and Angel decided to contact with the intention of making music together again. And this time it will be guitar and are thinking of Pablo Hernandez, who is currently Aditus guitarist. Banda do not know if bears the name of Hydra or 20/20, I personally think we should give it a new name because the music is different, but will remain on the pop-rock for sure. No more talks with them, I started composing! So soon I'll give you news of this new group is born!

"Some future projects?
Mighty Diquez Manuel said: "People have projects ..." and it's true: we all have constant projects, the matter is crystallized. As you know, our country is in a period of tremendous changes. If these changes allow us to continue making music here, as here follow. Otherwise I think my work in music required me to bring to fruition my projects elsewhere. Among the projects that I have is that I spoke a moment ago, with Mannel, Angel and Paul. Another very important is to deepen my career as a lyric tenor. By early February 2008 I go on a trip to New York with my wife. My daughter is graduating from Carol reporter in July 2008 will be an interesting year and really different! Definitely keep me busy most of 2008!

-Gilberto thanks for having the humility to dedicate part of your time for this interview and many successes in your future projects you envision to be very good insurance.
Thanks be to you and the readers and visitors to your blog Jhonny! I also thank our mutual friend for having introduced Felix Duque. And what a congratulations on your work "eighty"! Definitely, this decade we have scored a lot and I am no exception. I learned, lived, studied, got married, I had my first child ... a lot happened in my life in the eighties!

-A Greeting for the eighties who visit this blog?
Of course! It often happens that those who work in this business of "show business", ironically we tend to be people quiet, shy and low profile. I am honored to share with you some of the scenes of what has been this long transit through the music. I hope these stories and anecdotes have proven unless they take this opportunity to heartily thank the many people who always greet and congratulate me: perhaps it is not difficult to see why I do not practice my profession as a lawyer and why I took up music 24 / 7, thanks to this I constantly more and more friends and share the joy of the hearts of many people. In the eighties (and I'm one more of you!) Feel proud to be, because there is no doubt that in the 80s was composed and created many of the best music that exists on our planet! To summarize: I will always remember that decade as "The time when we were happy, but did not know" ... Receive all a warm hug, peace and lots of music!

Memories Videos Exclusive Interview with Gerardo Ubiedo (Drummer and co-founder of Iceberg). Bonus: Songs LP "In Claim"

Continuing the search for the main characters of the national Rock the eighties, to see first-hand anecdotes, facts, his life and projects future, today I have the great pleasure to present an exclusive interview to carry out Mr. Gerardo Ubiedo, drummer and one of the founders of the Iceberg (now considered as one of the bulwarks of international Symphonic Rock). She also presented the paper "On Representation" of what was the most popular theme Essequibo. " I hope you enjoy this nice interview ...
Jhony


INTERVIEW:

- At what age and how to discover your passion for music or rock?

For the seven years I took vacation home of a sister in Valle de la Pascua, Edo. Guarico. They rehearsed a few boys who had nowhere so what my sister lent them the house was there my first contact with the battery and thereafter and until today still in music.


"You initially start out as a drummer or another instrument?

My first instrument was a guitar but the months I got my first set of toys.


"I suppose you were a torment to your parents at the beginning ..

No, they always supported me, preferred to make noise in my house to embers in the street.


-studied music? Where?

studied and adult, a little reading in CEPROMUSIC today disappeared.


-What were your first groups before Floe?

My first group was called "magic."


"As the group's beginnings were Témpano considering that arise in a period (1977-1979) in which it was almost impossible to get played on the radio (only a few specialized programs)?

After the dissolution of "Magic" we met Pedro Castillo, Leo Arias (from "Diedra," another group of parking), Miguel Angel Echevarreneta and I and forms Iceberg in April 1976. After a year he Giuglia Cessaro Della Noce, leaving Leo Arias, with the band writing and recording "Atabal Yemal" with passion. We made music regardless of whether it was commercial. Our first album sounded in specialized programs because it was too acidic. Then played on the radio "Yearning", a song cut "romantic ballad" today is heard sporadically in some radio stations.


-Floe comes with an extraordinary crop of bands that are still recognized as Power Age, Cheese Factory, the same people, Aditus, Resistance, etc. There was a lot gang rivalry?

Each band had their own style, we were Progressive-Symphonic, this largely untapped genre at the time. We were all friends, but between musicians always there "he who plays better or has the best equipment," things young inexperienced and immature. In the end everything leads us to believe today, that if there had been, would have no value or importance of what we did.


-Floe in 1980 published his first work "Atabal Yemal" which was a super extraordinary work ahead of her time. Were you aware at the time of producing this album that it would considered a jewel of Symphonic Rock internationally?

No, of course not only did it with passion, inspiration, ingenuity, and without thinking that after 20 years would be regarded as a collector.

- Why the change of style to the Pop New Wave's third album "In Claim"? Leaving

the late seventies, the world was looking for something easier to listen a little more commercial. The band had many changes and with it new minds, ideas and influences. After "Atabal Yemal" do "Nightmare without end" and then "In Reclamación”.

-La canción “El Esequibo” tocó en su momento una fibra muy importante para los venezolanos “el nacionalismo”. ¿Que piensas de que hoy en día no se halla avanzado nada en este tema y quizás estemos más lejos que nunca de recuperar este territorio?

La política fue, es y será tema obligado en la música. Ciertamente este tema marcó una década en nuestro país. Todos los venezolanos nos identificabamos con este problema, así que contribuimos en el despertar de la conciencia nacional sobre las malas políticas, la corrupción, el mal manejo internacional de nuestros intereses, etc. Pero and we see that after 24 years we claim it and with little hope. But we hope in God that justice will be done with our land. However, only in Venezuela is the map with the claim area, outside the shaded area there. Would have to figure out why?


-Going back to what we are concerned with "music" .. There is a group stage of the connoisseurs on National Rock refuses to take into account such as disks that appears as a vocalist Alexis Peña. In particular it seems to me excellent and above all displayed at a time when we were overwhelmed by the English Rock and the national response was needed. Would you sorry for the group stage since those songs are playing and being pleasantly remembered?

Today no, the principle of the proposal to record versions, we did not quite convinced, just the fact we moved the international success that was achieved. Alexis is one of the best voices in Venezuela, we did many concerts, television, radio, commercially speaking we could say we had the expected success. And it's part of our careers as artists to be in the pursuit of success ...


-Floe was great on both sides in both the Pop and Rock Symphonic. Why the group is unable to take off Venezuelan land? Got something to see the label?

In principle, yes. By then he had little credibility in our talent for export. At the time we leave Venezuela trade to the Dominican Republic, the records came out in different countries, but the label remained in the interest of launching apparatus Alexis as soloist, which later achieved. We are now signed in France under the label "Musea Records". Our records sold worldwide and is considered an Iceberg icon Rock Band World Symphony. If you start, but at the time that God intended.


"By the way, tell us your magician skills .. How do you magically appear in the middle of a concert at Mérida, the battery medium build, as we saw in a video on You Tube?

This is a long story, but I'll tell: We were invited to participate in the "Election of the Queen of the Feria del Sol" in Merida. We left the plane and we had to take another to "The Cold", from there to Merida grabbed a taxi that brought us very late. Then we came to the "Plaza de Toros" and the show was broadcast on VTV. We arrived about to start our touch, there was only part of a battery and as I looked at Felix War "Kashmir" to pay me what was missing. At the time announced to Floe, I ran but it was late, was on the air, plus the camera focused the battery. So a camera cut and so I rode appeared by magic, lol.


-Floe Why abandon when he was in the process of recording their third album with CBS?

I go out to have a broader view of what I wanted, I was tired of ahcer music simply because it was commercial, not content, useless words, no regrets.


-What do you do when you leave the group? Top

playing in various versions and original bands, including Juan Carlos Sabater with whom he recorded an album. After a year or two I meet with Zdenek Matousek, Victor Fiol (Floe old), other former members and new. I undertake the task of relaunching Floe, this is short. Follow changes in the line up and in 1998 the idea to regroup the original, along with the reissue of "Atabal Yemal", so I go back to Iceberg until today. With this training we have three albums: Atabal Yemal (Reissue), The End of Childhood, The Agony and the Ecstasy, two units with other international bands.


-Why did you go to Venezuela?

For professional reasons, my wife also died a year and eight months and after that I came to the United States to rebuild my life and God has given me that opportunity here.


-work projects in that moment?

After making two solo projects; Odrareg (Progressive Rock) with Musea Records and Electric Garden (E) independent production, just finished the recording of Rodolfo Serra, Massakre MNE partner, former guitarist Aditus , Sassy, \u200b\u200bFranklin Holland Project, etc, we are finishing the next album Iceberg "Selective Memory" which will be leaving in a couple of months. On the other hand, I am working on the next Rodolfo Raimundo while on my next album, which will definitely be consecrated to God will be my music but with a different message, powerful and purposeful I am also plan to develop an instructional DVD I'm playing drums and King Jesus Church in Miami, which I invite all readers of your blog www.elreyjesus.org.


- and take part in a reunion of the first training Témpano reunion .. you participate in the Iceberg Alexis (even temporarily)? Long dream of that and in fact I start a campaign for the return of those bands eighties ..

would not mind, it would be interesting to recall those times, with many tributes, reunions, versions of so many bands and artists, the problem is to organize and to agree to all former Floe, but if you would.


- Gerardo Bueno pride for me to interview you and joy to continue in the music world, thank you very much ..

Jhony Thank you for your interest in our values, our contemporary musical history in my part of this history and general readers. God created the music for worship and praise, and many have distorted their original purpose, so I remain, now more than ever in music.


- A salute to those who visit the blog?

Greetings to all visitors of this blog, musicians, friends, fans, strangers. And know the nostalgia, joy and lots of music, I invite you to visit our WWW.TEMPANO.COM., WWW.CDBABY.COM / GERALD Ubiedo, and those who are interested in buying my records or those of Floe write me a gerardrum @ gmail.com. Thank you all and God bless you and bless me me.
