#PérezPrado

Pérez Prado, nome completo José Dámaso Pérez Prado (Matanzas, 11 dicembre 1916 – Città del Messico, 14 settembre 1989), è stato un musicista, compositore e direttore d’orchestra cubano.

Considerato fra i maggiori artisti di musica latino-americana, è ricordato con l’appellativo di re del mambo ed è considerato uno degli eredi artistici di Xavier Cugat. Un altro soprannome che gli è stato attribuito è quello di El Cara de Foca (Volto di foca). La sua popolarità negli Stati Uniti coincise con quella di massimo interesse del mercato discografico e degli ascoltatori delle varie stazioni radio rispetto alla musica latino-americana.

Il suo nome è incluso fra quello delle celebrità della Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dámaso Pérez Prado (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeɾes ˈpɾaðo]; December 11, 1916 – September 14, 1989) was a Cuban bandleader, musician (singer, organist and pianist), and composer. He is often referred to as the King of the Mambo.Pérez was his surname, thus Dámaso Pérez, his true name, became known by his paternal and maternal surnames Pérez Prado.

His orchestra was the most popular in mambo. His son, Pérez Prado, Jr., continues to direct the Pérez Prado Orchestra in Mexico City to this day.

Dámaso Pérez Prado est un compositeur et chef d’orchestre cubain, surnommé le roi du mambo, né le 11 décembre 1916 à Matanzas (Cuba), mort le 14 septembre 1989 à Mexico (Mexique).

Il apprend, enfant, le piano classique avec Rafael Somavilla. En 1942, il s’installe à La Havane où il joue du piano dans les cabarets, puis dans différents orchestres : Orquesta Cubaney, Orquesta de Paulina Alvarez, et dans le plus célèbre orchestre de Cuba, Orquesta Casino de la Playa. En 1947, il enregistre Qué rico el mambo et part en tournée en Argentine et au Venezuela.

En 1948, sa musique s’inspire du jazz de Stan Kenton, et les maisons de disques cubaines ne veulent plus l’enregistrer. Il part alors à Mexico où il engage comme chanteur Benny Moré. Il joue aussi comme acteur pour le cinéma. Il compose tellement de morceaux qu’il ne leur donne plus de noms, mais des numéros ; Mambo No. 5 et Mambo No.8 sont les plus connus.

Le 12 décembre 1949, sort un 78 tours comportant Qué Rico El Mambo sur une face et Mambo No. 5 l’autre. Ce disque va déclencher la « mambomania » (Mambo Craze) aux États-Unis.

En 1955, sa version cha-cha-cha de Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White devient numéro un pendant 10 semaines au Billboard, le hit-parade américain. Ce morceau, en français Cerisier rose et Pommier blanc, avait été composé en 1950 par le français Louiguy (signataire officiel de La Vie en rose pour Édith Piaf), avec des paroles de Jacques Larue, chanté par André Claveau, puis devenu un classique du musette, repris par Petula Clark en 1964 et bien d’autres. Dans le film La Vénus des mers chaudes (Underwater), on voit Jane Russell danser sur Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White.

En 1958, Patricia est un succès mondial (numéro un), utilisé en 1960 comme musique du film dans La Dolce Vita de Federico Fellini.

#LouisArmstrong

Louis Daniel Armstrong noto anche con il soprannome di Satchmo o Pops (New Orleans, 4 agosto 1901 – New York, 6 luglio 1971) è stato un trombettista e cantante statunitense.

Armstrong è stato uno tra i più famosi musicisti jazz del XX secolo. Carismatico e innovativo, al suo talento e alla sua personalità si aggiunge la sua straordinaria popolarità nel jazz, che esce dai confini della sua regione d’origine per diventare un genere musicale amato in tutto il mondo.

Armstrong raggiunse la fama inizialmente come trombettista, ma fu anche uno dei più importanti cantanti jazz, soprattutto verso la fine della carriera.

Louis Armstrong(August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and an influential figure in jazz music.

Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an “inventive” trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).

Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong’s influence extends well beyond jazz music, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to “cross over”, whose skin color was secondary to his music in an America that was severely racially divided. He rarely publicly politicized his race, often to the dismay of fellow African-Americans, but took a well-publicized stand for desegregation during the Little Rock Crisis. His artistry and personality allowed him socially acceptable access to the upper echelons of American society that were highly restricted for a black man.

Lelio Luttazzi (27 April 1923–8 July 2010) was an Italian composer, musician, actor, singer, conductor, writer, and television and radio presenter.

Born in Trieste, Luttazzi began playing the piano at Radio Trieste and composing his first songs when he was student in law at the University of Trieste during the Second World War.After the war, he had from SIAE a gain of 350,000 lire, a considerable sum for the time, so he decided to become a full-time composer and in 1948 he moved to Milan where he began working with fellow Teddy Reno at the record company CGD. He was among the first composers to place jazz structures in the Italian songs.

A multifaceted artist, he worked in revues and cinema as actor and composer of soundtracks;[1] he was also a successful television and radio presenter, and probably the peak of his popularity was the radio program Hit parade, one of the longest radio programs broadcast in Italy.[1][2][3] In the early 1970s Luttazzi was involved together with Walter Chiari in a story of drug dealing; Luttazzi went to prison for a month before being acquitted with the formula “because the fact does not exist” but from then he basically semi-retired, leading a life reserved and returning rarely into the spotlight.
