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.

On October 14th I was fortunate - accompanied by my dad - they can go about qualifying for a World Cup, in this case, accompanying my selection Colombia and also to see the great stars of Brazil .
many days ago I was excited to be going to this party and told my dad that I wish I got to get the ballots and it surprised me that he could purchase the tickets for the games with Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina in El Campin and So on Sunday my dad woke up at 9:30 in the morning to quickly at 10 we started to make the lines to get into the stadium in the town West 2 nd floor.
were doing a line for two hours to go and when we were doing sun for a long time (two hours) for the day is damaged and all that we were not indoors received a heavy rain with hail and we included since we had nothing to protect us, except for a jacket and when they finally going to start the game, we were all excited to see the team when he suddenly announced that the match was postponed 40 minutes by rain. It was very cold, people were protected by a colored plastic. Before the rain, the stadium looked like a yellow and multicolor despupés again, although all endured by selection.
4:40 pm Start the party, the whole entire stadium shouting "we Colombia", "yes we can." In minute 2, the entire stadium stood for an auction that is almost goal Falcao, people could not believe it: Colombia was playing better than Brazil and even in the first half, Colombia dominated the match, and even faked Sánchez Zúñiga Ronaldinho and a defender of Brazil. We all thought Colombia would win until the 15th minute drove Pinto.
I was very excited, I had never seen play well and Colombia to see all the stars of the game, I saw people very happy and every time he touched the ball Colombia we all screamed with excitement. When the game ended, many people said that Colombia deserved to win and others were very happy with the result.
I generally enjoyed myself and I will have the opportunity, to feel once more in the matches against Argentina and Venezuela. And as all the fans saying "We Colombia." Chao.
