2015 is dying, and we begin to look back to take account of the journey. In this review, we look at the musical work of Aquiles Báez, guitarist and Venezuelan composer, arranger, but above it, a true promoter of emerging talents in the country.
This is no small thing. First, because Venezuela is a huge hotbed of musicians, and the most varied species ... and spices. That is, there is no single musical genre which can characterize the musician in this country, but all genres can feel blessed by the quantity and quality of Venezuelans who grow them. In this context, it should not be easy for Aquiles Báez choose whom and under what criteria to promote this or that person.
Second, because the Báez itself could invest their own time and effort on further consolidating his own musical career. And the fact that it would not be bad. However, we assume that shares his own musical development with the promotion of other musicians, just to feel in context with the musical quality and to compete fair and square and in the best sense of what it means.
Báez could have continued to make career as a teacher at Berklee, could have continued to live in the United States and consolidate its reputation there. However, the country continues to prefer, and not by questions of chauvinism, but by his love for the rhythms and sounds of Venezuela, and continue marveling that generation of chamos to continue their legacy.
Meanwhile, at this time, Achilles grabs his guitar and starts his Lady musiquear Anda Parra.
