Topic: Egrem


  
  Arts | Released from the revolution
This being socialist Cuba, the archive, the Egrem record label and the studio itself are owned by the Cuban government.
There's a high-energy set from Van Van's former pianist Pupy, who was the best-selling Egrem artist in Cuba in 2003, and of course there's a CD featuring early recordings from such Buena Vista stars as Ibrahim Ferrer, Eliades Ochoa, Ruben Gonzalez and Omara Portuondo.
Until the early 1990s, Egrem was subsidised by the government, but then came the "special period" - the world-widecollapse of communism that left Cuba in isolation.

EGREM, born from the old PANART (now Areito), has gained fame for its recordings of glorious musicians throughout those years.
EGREM has also recorded international artists such as Nat King Cole, Daniel Santos, Alberto Beltrán, Lucho Evaristo, Ernesto Bonino, and Lucho Gatica.
According to researcher José Reyes Fortín, in his special pamphlet on the history of EGREM, PANART reached its peak in 1952, at a point when the studio had access to better record players with sapphire needles and LP (Long Play) technology.

 Greater Latin America HECHO EN CUBA SERIES: World Music at Global Rhythm - The Destination for World Music
For those unfamiliar with the series, Hecho En Cuba licenses original son and rumba tracks from EGREM, Cuba's state-run label, which has had a near monopoly on music recorded on the island for 40 years.
Though Escondida's arrangement with EGREM is by no means exclusive (the Qbadisc label also licenses EGREM recordings), it's been particularly fruitful, especially when it comes to unearthing rare and unfamiliar tracks from the Buena Vista Social Club crew.
These original recordings have a warmer, more lived-in feel than their better-known versions, but the real treats in this series are the little-known gems that the producers unearthed from the EGREM vaults, such as Ferrer's rocking "Aputate una mi social" from Vol.2, and Segundo's "Oui Parle Francais" from Vol.

 Buena Vista Social Club | Biography | MTV
Less a band than an assemblage of some of Cuba's most renowned musical forces, Buena Vista Social Club's origins lie with noted American guitarist Ry Cooder, who in 1996 traveled to Havana to seek out a number of legendary local musicians whose performing careers largely ended decades earlier with the rise of Fidel Castro.
Recruiting the long-forgotten likes of singer Ibrahim Ferrer, guitarists/singers Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa, and pianist Rubén González, Cooder entered Havana's Egrem Studios to record the album Buena Vista Social Club; the project was an unexpected commercial and critical smash, earning a Grammy and becoming the best-selling release of Cooder's long career.
In 1998 he returned to Havana with percussionist son Joaquim to record a solo LP with Ferrar; the sessions were captured on film by director Wim Wenders, who also documented sell-out Buena Vista Social Club live performances in Amsterdam and New York City.
