The Pedrito Martinez Group: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

Feb. 20, 2019 | Felix Contreras -- Something happens when you get a chance to see Afro-Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez perform. First of all, his smile radiates. It's hard to imagine someone happier than he is to make music in front of people; and as we saw during his turn behind Bob Boilen's desk, he mesmerizes with this almost otherworldly talent on congas. His hands can be a blur because they move so quickly. To the untrained eye, it's hard to see exactly what he is doing to draw out the sounds he does from his drums. I even know a little about playing hand drums and it still doesn't make it easier to fathom his remarkable talent.
Pedrito Martinez has gathered around him musicians who are helping him make the music he hears in his head. As you'll hear, it's full of twists and turns and unexpected stops that resolve into grooves so ferocious it's hard to resist moving your entire body in appreciation.
This particular performance at the Tiny Desk is highlighted by a stunning, unaccompanied conga solo that dazzled both neophytes and long-time fans of Afro-Cuban music.
Go ahead. Watch it repeatedly. It will still amaze each time you watch it.

    Make no mistake, this is timba. It has all the makings and all of the gears. It starts with a preview of the montuno section and then it goes into the main body of the song. From then on: 4:07 - Congo, conguito coro. 4:27 - bloque into next section 4:30 - this section is commonly called "Presión" o "Pedal". All instruments drop out except for the piano, which enters with a new, exciting part + Pedrito's voice. It generates tension. 4:43 - New coro ("yo tuve un sueño...") all instruments enter on marcha arriba - features cowbell - this is the call and response montuno section featured in most afro-cuban music, which consists of a "coro" and a response by the lead singer. 5:09 - mambo, percussion stays on marcha but the keyboard plays the part of a horn section 5:30 - masacote: the percussion turns exciting and more improvisational 5:50 - yet another new coro ("vamo a ver si la cuenta a ti te da") back on marcha arriba, call and response montuno 6:07 - bass drops out briefly (along with the percussion) and then comes back on sliding up and down the fretboard. The percussion gets wilder. This section is called "bomba". this is one of the hallmarks of timba music and it is one of the main differences between salsa and timba. Bomba rarely -if ever- happens on salsa. 6:27 - back on marcha arriba - with plenty of efectos (syncronized stops and breaks) 6:47 - piano solo, band turns the dynamic down. 7:50 - HUGE pedal there. Issacito delivers a big piano tumbao. Tension mounts. 8:11 - after the bloques (synchronized percussion break) straight into bomba. Tension releases. This is the part where dancers go wild. Efecto at 8:24 8:32 - Marcha arriba again. Issac keeps on soloing. 8:43 - Leitmotiv bass and piano. Jhair (and Pedro sometimes) plays 12/8 against 4/4. Pedro soloes. 9:44 - Marcha arriba but Pedro keeps on soloing! Bass and Piano keep playing the motive. 10:40 - Unaccompanied conga solo 13:33 - New piano tumbao. Presión. 13:53 - Bombazo. 14:08 - Another leitmotive. This one from the intro. Pedrito and Jhair play 12/8 against it though. 14:14 - marcha arriba. same coro as intro. 14:30 - big bloque to end. Nice bookending effect. I've actually heard this live and they add more coros at the end there. So, this is actually a "shortened for NPR" version! Hope this helps for anyone curious enough to follow all the insane twists and turns of modern Cuban arranging. One thing I'd like to get across is how Cubans divide the band horizontally between rhythm and harmony. Like you could have the coros and horns go uninterrupted through sections but the percussion could change underneath (entering bomba for instance). This is all very modular and that's how they keep the songs fresh live eve when they hit the ten minute mark: adding new coros (not on the studio version) and using the resources of pedal and bomba to generate and release tension. Another thing: bloques vs efectos. Bloques are written out as part of the arrangement and efectos are more of a rhythmic punctuation developed by the band over time as they play more live. They are not exclusive to the song. If you get to see Pedrito live, you will notice he does the brief sudden stops in most of the songs.

Kings in nyc. My jaw dropped, i finished the song being super nervous, then met him and what a humble musician he is!! He sat down with us and played Chan Chan with a crazy ass solo on my congas.

    Cool! Yes, is the piano player the same one who came with Issac to summer stage in New York City in 1998? I was there and boy was that a special day! People hadn’t really heard Timba much yet, so when they started the first song just with keyboards and not even a Clave, then they started adding things in and purposely left out the Clave for a while, the audience was very silent until the clave was indicated and then they broke out in this incredible cheer of appreciation and amazement, the concert continued to gain intensity steadily till the end, just great! Also the best Timba Bass-playing I’ve ever heard from Alain Perez. He owns that stuff! Also later they came to play at SOBs downtown (where I was that Recording Engineer downstairs) and I’ve got to say the piano keyboard work was out of this world, quite almost experimental sounding at times and even “psychedelic” and it’s effect. Would he have been in those bands? Was around 1999 2000

Both Melon and Pepe live there still, both formidable jazz players. Issac's son entered his father's band in 2004-ish and played with him for a while when Issac defected to the US. Now he flies back and forth.

    En español: (in spanish) Lo que acaban de ver es simplemente la cubania expresada en música. Su más alto nivel musical. Es la prueba evidente de que en los barrios marginales, luego en sus escuelas de música, y después en cada uno de los que descollan con ese talento natural, reflejan el más inconmensurable resultado de la música en toda su profundidad. Pedrito Martinez sin exagerar , es el quizás mayor expresionista avant- garde de una generación que junto a Alain Pérez, Melon y otros, están llevando a otro nivel eso que viene de nuestros barrios. Que es sincopa, multiritmia o ritmo? , pues, llámelo como quiera. Lo cierto es que con esta presentación queda manifiesto que Cuba regresó para pedir de vuelta lo que prestó. Los tiempos cambian, la música también. Pedrito Martinez junto a este colectivo, tiene la llave. Sin duda!

    Superb performance. Been a fan of Pedrito for a long time. Although the performance was amazing, what I found impressive was that at @10:12, if you pay attention, the keyboard came in early, and although Pedrito is soloing and keeping the tempo with the hi-hat, he noticed and shout the keyboard melody in the right tempo to get the player back on track. This guy is on another level!!
