Guitarist José Luis "Cheo" Pardo (Ex Los Amigos Invisibles s) with percussionist Neil Ochoa (Si * Sé, Chicha Libre) and bassist Alvaro Benavides (Pedrito Martinez Group), all Venezuelans living in New york are the cream project Paraiso. last year they released their second album De Movie (2015), successor of his debut the Debut (2013) and next May 28 will make a special presentation at the Cultural Center BOD in Caracas.
A sort of tribute to the Venezuelan pop culture is representing De Film with original songs from The Cream Paraiso and some covers of "Personal Jesus" (Depeche Mode) in the voice of Dominican Carol C (Si * Sé), "Everybody wants to rule the world "(Tears for Fears) sung by the Venezuelan Argenis Brito (Mr. Coconut) and traditional joropo" Curruchá "which is interpreted by the Colombian Andrea Echeverri (Aterciopelados).
The traditional Venezuelan folk music mixed with rock, bossa nova and jazz agree this musical proposal with the participation of Jorge Glem (C4Trío) recording four in all songs. The Crema Paraiso turns out to be a risky bet with solid musical bases. Original songs like "Light goes" where they invite the Spanish singer Juan Rivas (ex Estereocéano) and "untamed male" in which I Tarpeyo Rocco rapper recites a particular and funny story, are part of the conceptual idea of the disk.
On the other hand the distorted riffs of "A policeman in New Nork" as opposed to the calm "Bello e'bola (Look at the moon)" indicate an amplitude in a movie. Cadence piper "Mas" and "To Zing With your gf (Paradaise Cream)" with a guitar solo that has no waste Cheo, balance and tone sensations album. A fast, danceable with "C ucaracha in dancing chickens" and nostalgic hand "Sleepwalk" final make these ten compositions a sound journey of just over 40 minutes from a Venezuelan film at least has its soundtrack despite be under construction.
This trio embodies the musical taste of some Venezuelans who come together to draw their influences from the outside and show us a new edge from the sonic richness of a country that has its own pop culture without consciously setting we're about. So De film is one of those albums that coexist in the daily lives of all of us.
The phrase that gives title to the disc is explicit, when something is invaluable use the term "film" as what happens in this second installment of The Crema Paraiso.
