Segundo Garcia’s “El Comején de la Bandola” has been the recipient of many international awards and has taken part in numerous events worldwide.
Diversity, balance, sublime and sturdiness are just a few of the perceptions that denote the sonority of this new creation of autochthonous music, testimony of the virtuous Segundo Garcia, “El Comejen de la Bandola”and his group. The Bandola in his mastery hands expresses his undoubted talent, he makes it diverse and versatile, turning it into a guitar or a mandolin – as it may be required ‐ without losing its essence of an instrument that symbolizes, within other attributes, the musical culture of the Plains and, maybe, the complete spectrum of our music.
Segundo Garcia has inherited a tradition forged in centuries by executing masters of pioneering generations, who since their times, perceive recognition to their art in each performance of this gifted contemporary Bandola player, he gives back to this tradition a renewed repertoire and a different and consolidated manner to retrieve chords from the ennobled and rutting woods of his instrument.
This production is enriched with the presence of a voice full of plain culture and vernacular sonority such as that of Yusnellys Rengifo, vocalist; Jose Funes, cuatro player; Gailabi Jimenez, base; and Alejandro Galindo on the maracas.
Lol the person that translate that need to lay off the technical terms a bit. They tried to sound big but it just comes off as cheesy and obvious that it was translated.
