Uruguayan Bandoneon virtuoso, Rene Marino Rivero, plays Latin-American
Tangos and Bach in the Purcell Room on the 1 August. The ever enterprising
Latin American and Caribbean Cultural Society, who have recently celebrated
their Tenth Anniversary, have an exiting series of concerts over the
Summer. On the 16 June they present the GUATEMALA ENSAMBLE at the
Purcell Room, who bring a fresh approach to guitar playing. They follow
the style created by Jorge Martinez Zarate with his own Guitar Quartet,
and have adapted and developed it to fit their own cultural
context. The Ensemble uses a marimba in addition to the guitars,
creating a unique blend of sound which reflects the meeting of indigenous
and Spanish elements in much of their work. Musical Opinion, Summer,1994. |

GUATEMALA ENSAMBLE. " A combination of three guitars and marimba,
which makes up William Orbaugh and The Guatemalan Ensemble, might
seem an exotic group for the Purcell Room, but the recital there on
the 16th June turned out, on a hot Summer evening, to be a welcome
and by no means inappropriate change for the large and enthusiastic
LACCS audience. This was a very enjoyable concert, and a return engagement
should ensure a warm welcome for these talented players", RM-W.,
Musical Opinion, 1994.
RENE MARINO RIVERO ON THE SOUTH BANK.
Rene Marino Rivero gave a fascinating recital at the Purcell Room
on 1 August. This was another well organised event under the tireless

up in Latin America. G.C., Musical Opinion, Autumn, 1994. |

LACCS IN 1995, BRIAN HICK ANTICIPATE A STIMULATING SEASON. "
In little more than a decade Juan R. Monroy has made the Latin American
and Caribbean Cultural Society- known to its many friends as LACCS
- one of the most exiting and innovative music promoters in the country.
His disarmingly polite and charming manner, responsive of each individual
as if a personal friend regardless of whether this was a first meeting
with a new member of the audience or a visiting ambassador, has enable
him to establish a secure audience for concerts, which, given the
current dearth of novelty within the serious music market, in many
ways should only attract a smattering of interest, but which
in the event command attention. Much of this is down to the constant
high quality of the performers he brings to this country and
the superb level of enjoyment all of us get from them. It is obvious
both from what I am writing here and from my reviews of earlier performances
that I am an enthusiastic follower of LACCS programmes. This should
not imply that I enjoy them all equally but that they are never less
than stimulating and always leave me wondering what on earth Juan
is going to come up with next...", Musical Opinion, Winter,1994. |

RINDIO HOMENAJE EN LONDRES A ANTONIO LAURO. CRONICA POR LEO PAREJAS
El guitarista clasico Alirio Diaz, considerado como el maximo exponente
musical Venezolano en el exterior, rindio el pasado 23 de
Febrero en el Purcell Room del South Bank de Londres, un extraordinario
homenaje al musico y compositor tambien Venezolano, Antonio Lauro
(1917-1986), El guitarista fue ovacionado con los aplausos del publico
por varios minutos y se vio obligado a salir del camerino en varias
oportunidades y complacer con varias piezas mas. Durante el concierto,
Alirio Diaz interpreto magistralmente piezas musicales no solo del
folklore venezolano sino de otros paises Latinoamericanos. La presentacion
en Londres del guitarista venezolano se dio gracias a la promocion
de Latin American and Caribbean Cultural Society que dirige Juan
R Monroy y a la colaboracion de la Embajada de Venezolana por intermedio
del Senor Alfonso Montes, director del Bolivar Hall.
PROMOVIENDO LA MUSICA
Latin American
and Caribbean Cultural Society es una entidad que desde hace
10 anos he venido haciendo un trabajo de promocion de la musica
latinoamericana en el Reino Unido. "Esta labor ha sido muy
silenciosa pero fructifera; esta dirigida mas que todo hacia el
publico Britanico y durante el desarrollo de las actividades artisticas,
hemos hecho un recorrido por casi todos los paises latinoamericanos"
senalo Juan R Monroy, chileno, director de la institucion. "Nuestro
proposito ha sido difundir la musica clasica principalmente,
porque siempre ha estado ahi enterrada. No se sabia nada de ella
en Europa. Nuestra organizacion lo que ha buscado siempre es crear
un espacio, abrir una ventana para que nuestros artistas vengan
a Londres y a Europa".

RAMIREZ' MISA CRIOLLA IN THE RFH
Many of us have lived with the original recording of Ariel Ramirez'
MISA CRIOLLA since its release in the sixties, but until now
we have had no opportunity to experience it live. On 1 June the
ever enterprising LACCS brought the composer himself and in a highly
enthusiastic and talented group of soloists together with the Royal
Choral Society for its first British performance at the Royal Festival
Hall... There were a number of encores which were clearly
well known to the majority of the audience, beautifully performed
and ecstatically received even if unfamiliar to the writer who was
simply grateful to be there. I understand that Juan R Monroy is
thinking of mounting a similar evening of Andean music. I can't
wait! BH.

The Latin American and Caribbean Cultural Society

been promoting the classical guitar in London
for twelve years. To our knowledge, no one else
has kept a guitar series for so long and unbroken
a period, and
it says a lot for the determination, patience and
ingenuity of Juan R. Monroy, Director of LACCS, that so
many guitarists
of the highest rank have been brought to London.
..." An innovation is LACCS presentation of awards
to guitarists
who have made a special contribution in bringing
the cultures of the eastern and western hemispheres
together, thus leading to a greater understanding
of Latin American music in Britain..."

A TRIBUTE TO LAURINDO
ALMEIDA
"LACCS'S tribute
to the Brazilian guitarist and composer Laurindo
Almeida at the Purcell Room on 28 May turned out to
be a delight for all concerned.
Charlie Byrd's
first solo was Alfredo Vianna's Carinhoso which Laurindo
Almeida had sketched out for him on a paper napkin! The
soloist then joined forces to play Ernesto Nazareth's
Carioca and Famoso
with its 2 step rhythm, followed by Vianna's Naguele
Tempo and Cochichando which gave them a
chance to show their respective strengths, Carlos
Barbosa-Lima was more agile and steely while Charlie
Byrd was warmer and
more relaxed. ...
Laurindo Almeida's own arrangement of "Adios" was played
as an encore and
a more fitting end could hardly have been found
with its gentle, reflective simplicity in many ways encapsulating
the strengths of
this well loved and greatly missed virtuoso and composer.
