Jorge Glem and Sam Reider: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Felix Contreras | March 6, 2023
It’s a very special thing when two musical cultures come together to create something that didn’t exist before. That’s exactly what we got to witness in this performance from Venezuelan cuatro master Jorge Glem and extraordinary accordionist Sam Reider, as they set up behind the Desk for a set of highly creative, original music from their project Brooklyn Cumaná.
Glem’s dexterity on the small, traditional guitar-like instrument is evident from the very first notes of “Skeleton Rag,” as he plucks out a percussive, staccato pattern that is more Brazilian than the sweeping strums of Venezuelan folk music, as Reider leans into a melody that could easily be folkloric if it wasn’t something he dreamed up. Even as they end the tune at a breakneck speed, it’s only the beginning of the fireworks. “Sábana Blanca y Fuga con Estribillo” which follows, is based on a traditional Venezuelan folk tune and eventually erupts into a rustic exhibition of Glem’s vocals.
After a brief explanation in Spanish about the traditional song forms they work from, the duo eases into “Malagueña Cumanesa,” a lament based on a memory from Glem’s childhood.
“Coroticos” is a fiery exercise in an odd time meter that is actually part of Venezuelan tradition and it’s a showcase for how these two virtuoso musicians test the limits of their instruments while they expand our expectations of the accordion and cuatro. The magic of this music is watching both artists completely enjoy each other’s playing, with knowing glances and spontaneous vocal encouragement.

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Soy de México y adoro la música de Jorge Glem y los ritmos del cuatro Venezolano. Viva Venezuela!!
Jorge also plays with the C4 trio, three cuatros and a bass. Amazing.
I never knew how much I needed this kind of music in my life until today. Thank you.

Ha! What a fantastic way to fuel up on energy joy and good vibes to kick open the door to a new week! Thank You!
Two master musicians having fun!
I know Jorge's music because I am Venezuelan and I love his performances. I enjoyed watching this duet of Jorge Glem and Sam Reider. It was incredible. They made my day with this video. They were so connected and happy, with their smiles and gestures they could convey their emotions. Thank you!
So much diversity with only two instruments, it's really amazing. And great to listen to. Bravo, les artistes ! :-)
Most amazing and loving music! Viva Venezuela Carajo!

Thank you Jorge, to share our music with the world. !Viva Venezuela!
Bravo! (1) I’m converted to accordions; (2) Who needs 6 strings?
Admiración para esa fusión musical, el significado de mi país Venezuela en cuatro cuerdas es escuchar a Jorge Glem rajar el cuatro!
Jorge is a phenomenal cuatro player at home in any style. I saw him once with Etienne Charles perform a composition titled Santimanitay, and the solo he laid down on a calypso rhythm was amazing. As good as the late, great Yomo Toro of Cuba
What incredible sounds I love this
Viva Venezuela nojoda!!!!!!!
Wow! It sounds Amazing. This made my day. They are both great artists. Bravo Jorge 🇻🇪. Gracias por representarnos! Que orgullo
Un gran logro en la internacionalización del cuatro venezolano. Bravo 👏👏
Tremenda fusión, la músisca es un lenguaje universal definitivamente. Felicitaciones Jorge y Sam. Saludos desde españa.
¡Bravo, Jorge! Orgullo venezolano 💗
The performance is awesome! I'm very proud of Jorge, he's an icon of current Venezuelan music.
Love Sam and everything he does. I've seen him with the Human Hands three times and will never, ever miss a show if I can help it!
Me being privileged enough to have sam reider as my college class misic teacher rn
Scientists still have no idea if Jorge's right hand is real or not.

Mi querido Glem orgulloso de ti, nunca olvidare esos momento en lo que compartimos en Venezuela como músicos.
Grande Jorge!!!! Uno de los mejores cuatristas de venezuela y con su grupo C4 Trio son unos duros.
I think that there is no musician in this world that can't be impressed by Jorge's talent. Jordan Rudess went through the same thing that happened to Sam when saw him play.
I'm in love with this performance from 🇧🇮 but get SAT-B will be the best performance for life.
I love this weird al/flight of the conchords/gypsy jazz vibe Deadly stuff mon freres
