Topic: Eliades Ochoa


  
  Guardian | Eliades Ochoa/Cuarteto Patria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Eliades Ochoa specialises in guararcha, a rustic roots style that is Cuba's equivalent to country music.
Ochoa draws from the classic repertoire of Cuban composers; much of his set at the Barbican was by former Cuerteto Patria member Compay Segundo.
Ochoa is an unbelievably relaxed performer: he chatted away in Spanish to the Barbican audience as though we were in a tropical dancehall.

 Eliades Ochoa: Estoy Como Nunca - PopMatters Music Review
Ochoa was not particularly the star of Buena Vista Social Club -- not as old as ninety-ish Compay Segundo nor as romantically overlooked as Reubén González or Ibraim Ferrer, he has the advantage of not having to live up to his onscreen mythology.
Ochoa is a rare thing in the surprisingly diverse Cuban folk music scene: a traditionalist rather than a relic; a subtle innovator rather than a twenty-first century update.
Ochoa and his band, el Cuarteto Patria (two of whose members appear by their surnames to be Ochoa's brothers or sons), move from mood to mood and style to style with all the fluidity of true professionals.

 Eliades Ochoa y Cuarteto Patria
Eliades, being the reserved Guajiro (Cuban provincial) that he is, nods his head.
Eliades performed this piece as a duet with Compay Segundo when Segundo was a special guest performer with Cuarteto Patria in concerts in Cuba as well as in tours in the United States and various Caribbean countries.
Eliades met the writer of this gem of a bolero, a musician from Guanabacoa, and later accompanied him to Santiago de Cuba to participate in the Festival de la Trova (Havana and Santiago may have their differences, but art brings people together).

 Music: Son of Cuba (The Boston Phoenix . 09-13-99)
Ochoa played in Quinteto Oriente and Septeto Típico before he was bequeathed the musical mantle of Emilia García's classic son outfit, Patria.
Ochoa says son is just "a tres, some bongos, a pair of claves, some maracas." The musicians don't even have to know one another; they already share the language.
Ochoa invites a few famous guests to cameo on the new record: Charlie Musselwhite works bluesy harmonica riffs into the son "Teje que teje" ("Weaving and Weaving"), and Ry Cooder and Los Lobos' David Hidalgo make understated guitar contributions elsewhere.

 Music | Eliades Ochoa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The title track of this disc from Santiago native son Eliades Ochoa overflows with country charm and an easy Caribbean rhythm that’s not at all reminiscent of the frenzied Afro-Cuban jazz sound.

At 56, Ochoa may be noted for his work with the old-school Cuarteto Patria and his affinity for the traditional Cuban sounds of son montuno, the slower bolero son, and guaracha, but this is an extremely lively disc, and he is anything but a museum piece.
