Duo MaLí
Duo MaLí are Maria Gibson on guitar and Lisa De Simone on violin.
They are both from Brighton and were due to play a recital at The Regency Town House that was postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We hope to reschedule their performance for a date in 2021. In the meantime, they have very kindly sent greetings from lockdown and video of clips from a recent recital in Lewes for us to enjoy.
The clips are, in order:
1 Quebra Queixco by Chelso Machado
2 Pacoca by Chelso Machado
3 Candombe by Maximo Diego Pujol
4 Café by Astor Piazzolla
5 Bachiana Brazileira n5 by H. Villa Lobos
6 Liberango by Astor Piazzolla
7 Piazza Vittorio by Chelso Machado
1, 2 & 7 are Choros, upbeat and happy typical Brazilian music with a big African influence.
3 is from the Argentinian composer Pujiol. A Condombe is a folk dance from Uruguay, mainly performed at Carnival.
4 a tango from the History of Tango collection originally written for flute and guitar. This is a 1930s tango, a more musical and romantic tango.
5 a beautiful Villa Lobos masterpiece originally written for 8 cellos and soprano. The lyrics are a delicate tribute to nature.
6 another Piazzollaa's tango. Very well known, with spicy rhythms and a fiendish melody. This is one of the forefront of the modern tango.
We'd love to hear what you think about the recital. Please comment, praise or criticise, but abusive comments will not be published.
