Cantares de mina / songs from the coal mines
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2005 9:44 am
Acabo de comprar un CD que se llama Cantares de Mina, y que - obviamente - contiene 12 cantares tradicionales mineros. Lo mejor es que los cantantes son muy jóvenes, algunos ya muy conocidos, otros despuntando y con poca soltura todavía, pero todos con voces preciosas.
La mejor, para mí, la leonesa Ángeles González, con una voz "ahumada" (la Dusty Springfield de la Toná
) y mucha técnica.
Muy potente la voz de Sergio Agüeros, pero falta un poco de salero o "feeling".
Una voz muy guapa la de Fernando Valle Roso. En 5 o 6 años será francamente bueno.
Y por supuesto, el virtuosismo de Oscar Fernández con la gaita! Cada año toca mejor.

I just bought a CD called "Songs from the coal mines" with - obviously - 12 traditional miners' songs. The best is that the singers are very young, some already well known, others just barely starting and still a little stiff, but all of them with beautiful voices.
The best, in my opinion, the Leonese Angeles González, with a smokey voice (the Dusty Springfield of the "Toná") and great technique.
Sergio Agüeros has a powerful voice, but still lacks some "feeling".
Fernando Valle Roso has a very beautiful voice and in 5 or 6 years he could be really good.
And not to forget the virtuosity of Oscar Fernández on the bagpipe! He keeps getting better every year.
