Miles around

With this post I open a new section dedicated to revisiting the classics of music history. I thought it could be interesting because sometimes we tend to think that some figures are kind of untouchable, but actually they're not. On the contrary I think that the best music is the music that you can keep using, modifying and modeling and still remains great. I also thought that one of the best example in music history of this concept of music "plastic" was Miles Davis.

Cuba, la musica es mujer!

I have Cuba in my heart. So I keep an eye on everything comes from there, most of all the music, almost always excellent music. I can't help sharing this documentary about an extraordinary orchestra where the musicians and the director are all women. They play classical cuban music, with amazing arrangements and great art and technique. But behind the concerts and the music are the stories of these women, beautiful stories of dedication and hard work to achieve a goal.
This is the Cuba I have in my heart.
