"No hagan Bandera" Mogno Music 2005
This is the new project conceived by three exceptional South American musicians who all have staged the most prestigious scenes of popular music, often as either arrangers or musical directors for the like of Dino Saluzzi, Paquito de Rivera, Mercedes Sosa, Stéphane Grappelli, Yuri Buenaventura, Patrice Caratini, Julien Lourau, among others. All those experiences are now gathered in this trio recording: South American and Caribbean rhythms, tango, jazz, guitars and violins, voice and percussion ...
Why La Tregua (Truce)? An authentic truce in the battle of everyday life.
The battle to remain active in an musical geography which imooses the blind aesthetics of an implacable market. La Tregua is this and this only, a truce. It has no political meaning, no strategic undertones, it does not promote roots or a revolution. Nor does it claim to establish an aesthetical resistance-it''s a deliberate act of pure freedom, a breath of freash air, gratuitous, unexpected and paradoxically necessary.
Maybe that''s also why La Tregua''s first opus is called "No hagan Bandera" (keep a low profile or, more litterally, don''t wave a flag). Maybe we are tired of the obsession to show symbols of one''s origin, the artefacts of one''s identity. For once, and because what it''s all about here is a truce, the stake is not to stress our difference, our obviously foreign origins (did you notice that we come from the South and from another continent ?) There is no flag to denounce our particularity.
