REVIEWS:  '' Adalberto Alvarez:
Harmony is mine, but the rhythms are the peoples''.
Boston
Sunday Globe, USA.
'' The ending
was spectacular, meeting a veteran composer of La Sonora Ponceña, Adalberto
Alvarez y su son, who couldn't avoid singing ¨Son para un sonero¨, penned
by himself but he kicked butt with his awesome ¨Soy sonero y no lo niego¨…
and the party was great.
El Espectador, Colombia
XXXI, Cali Fair.
Highlight
performance of ¨Adalberto Alvarez y su son¨ in Zurich (…) he made
his bow in Swiss, drawing the public´s attention, Adalberto closed the show
inviting some musicians of Irakere and Ray Barreto to share some of his last themes
which was very acclaimed.
Gramma, Cuba
''The great success of Adalberto Alvarez y
su son is, among other reasons, due to the amazing virtuosity of its musicians
and vocalists. The orchestra goes from a traditional Son to a Merengue with the
same magnificence''.
El Universal, México
Adalberto Alvarez, pianist, arranger,
composer and orchestra director, remarkable figure of the Cuban music, great event
at Palladium, conquering dancers´ heart.
El
Messaggero, Italy.
The last
part was a whole concert, after Cheo Feliciano came Adalberto Alvárez y
su Son. Amazing!. We had enjoyed never before such a Salsa Group in Cali or even
in the country. It was a concert of paila solos, trumpets, extremely cadenced
rhythms that made the public feel a deep emotion.
El
Espectador, Colombia.
We can
state by sure that Adalberto Alvárez can even make the stones dance.
La Jornada, Mexico
As composer and orchestra director, Adalberto completes a style that shows him
in his excellences with his transcendental roots. He just came to state forever.
Frank Fernández, pianist and concertist, Cuba
Anyway, attempting happiness and great
prestige for this fair, long life to Salsa, next time don't forget to invite again
Adalberto Alvarez y su Son. The salsa performed by this group is bearable even
to those third-aged Caleños who were also at the joy street some nights.
Occidente, Colombia
Adalberto Alvárez achieves with a notorious skillness and great artistic
talent, the most genuine fact of the popular, the traditional Trova lyric, the
contribution of his academic studies during the early years at school. Open-minded
to experimentation, avoiding the relation with sterile streams, Adalberto projects,
creates and takes advantage of, without any boasting act, the sonorous potentialities
of his musicians. After any performance remains a defined technical conception.
This fact is maybe part of the successful reality. They combine sobriety with
creative authenticity . They act with freshness and spontaneity featuring our
Cuban popular music.

and concertist, Cuba. |
