El músico Luis Conte, legendario integrante del grupo Los Linces, dialogó vía telefónica con El Club del Recuerdo, allí comentó que la banda ya retomó las presentaciones en los escenarios ante su público y anticipó algunos shows de cara al futuro inmediato. Noticias más que esperadas!

Es el álbum inicial de esta nueva trilogía de Fito Paez. Incluye 10 canciones, grabadas junto a músicos de primer nivel en los estudios Igloo Music (Burbank, California), EastWest Studios (Hollywood, California) y El Mostro de la Laguna (Lobos, Provincia de Buenos Aires). Fue producido por Paez, Diego Olivero y Gustavo Borner. A mediados de febrero de 2022, se dará a conocer el segundo álbum que integra esta obra integral. Es totalmente instrumental y fue grabado por Fito junto a la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional Checa. El tercer álbum también incluye canciones inéditas, pero grabadas por Fito solo, con su piano. Segun el palabras del propio Paéz: "Los Años Salvajes es un álbum que compuse casi en su totalidad durante la pandemia. En ese extraño y tan delirante período de la vida de todos en todo el mundo. O sea, que tiene el pulso y la respiración de aquellos momentos. Rescaté algunas piezas antiguas como “Beer Blues” canción que terminamos componiendo con Elvis Costello. Él escribió y grabó su parte en Vancouver. Luego escuchamos juntos la canción a través de un Zoom, estando yo en Los Angeles y él en Canadá. Es la historia de dos amigos que se encuentran en un bar en Londres y luego viajan a Rosario. Se sientan a tomar unos tragos y escriben sobre sus historias personales y sus puntos de vista en común. También encontré “Shut up”, de un pasado no muy lejano. Al álbum le venía muy bien la energía y el texto de esa canción, para este disco de época. El título del álbum no hace ninguna alusión nostálgica a años salvajes pasados. Más que nada, se centra en el presente. Hay una canción dedicada a Fabi Cantilo, que habla de cómo nos encontramos en la vida “Encuentros cercanos”. Otra potente es “Lili and Drake”, que es una historia de amor de personas que están en búsqueda de su identidad. “La música de los sueños de tu juventud” la compuse dos semanas antes de comenzar la grabación en Los Ángeles y creo que es una de las frutillas de Los años salvajes. Este, también, es un álbum urgente. Se grabó en vivo en solo tres largas e intensas jornadas. Son diez canciones y una banda excepcional: Luis Conte en percusión, Abraham Laboriel Junior en batería, Guille Vadalá en el bajo, Michael Landau en guitarra eléctrica, Diego Olivero en teclados, Juani Agüero en guitarra eléctrica, y yo en teclados y voces. Todo ocurrió en los estudios East West y Estudios Igloo, en la ciudad de Los Angeles. Lo coproduje junto a Gustavo Borner y Diego Olivero. Son cuarenta minutos de pura adrenalina. Ojalá lo disfruten como nosotros haciéndolo. ¡Bienvenidos a Los años salvajes!." Tracklist: 1-Vamos a lograrlo 2-Lo mejor de nuestras vidas 3-Shut Up 4-La música de los sueños de tu juventud 5-Caballo de Troya 6-Sin mí en vos 7-Lili and Drake 8-Encuentros cercanos 9-Beer Blues (con Elvis Costello) 10-Los años salvajes (con Fabiana Cantilo)

Luis Conte is one of the most heralded percussionists in the music industry, but had it not been for the encouragement of his parents and a three week window of time, his massive career performing for and touring with some of the biggest artists may never have happened.

Luis made his way to Spain, alone, and later found his way to the United States and settled in Los Angeles where his music career eventually flourished. Throughout his career, he's recorded and toured with the likes of James Taylor, Phil Collins, Jackson Browne, Dave Matthews, Madonna, Pat Metheney, Ray Charles, Cher, Eric Clapton, Celine Dion, and so many more. He's also released many solo projects over the years, has written a book, and is an educator. Here to talk to us about his incredible career in music is the maestro himself, Luis Conte.

Luis Conte - Making It as a Top Percussionist with Madonna, Ray Charles, Phil Collins, Santana Hear more shows like this at https://entertalkradio.com/makingit Luis Conte’s genius stems from his ability to integrate the powerful rhythms of his native Cuba with the American necessities of American pop music. His long and varied career has included numerous Hollywood film scores and mega-successful albums with Madonna, Ray Charles, Phil Collins, Santana, Shakira, Jackson Browne, Sergio Mendes, Cachao, and a multitude of other artists too numerous to mention. Born in Santiago, Cuba, Luis spent the first 15 years of his life soaking up the rich musical heritage of “El Son” and Carnival. "Life in Cuba is all about enjoying life, and music is central to that lifestyle," Luis says. "Music is almost like food to Cuban people.” While immersed in the music of his native Cuba, Luis also developed a passion for Rock & Roll, R&B soul music, jazz, and the Beatles. At 15, looking for freedom, Luis emigrated to Madrid, Spain. He soon had another opportunity to travel, this time to Hollywood. In California, Luis stayed with a cousin and attended Hollywood High School, playing guitar in numerous rock bands throughout his teens. After high school, Luis met John Monteallegre, who reunited him with Cuban drums at LA City College. By the time he was 18, Luis was intensely interested in drumming and took every opportunity to play and to learn, drawing his inspiration from a deep source of rhythm absorbed during his youth in Cuba. Since then, Luis has become one of the most respected and recorded percussionists in the world.

An offer to tour with The Four Tops took him on the road for the first time. He spent a year with the Tops and recorded three albums with them. With friends Steve Jordan, Hiram Bullock and Will Lee, Carter formed the 24th Street Band in 1978. He was one of the principal songwriters in the band, which made three records, played regularly in New York City clubs and embarked on a successful series of tours in Japan.

Carter's long-time friend and colleague Don Grolnick was keyboardist and musical director for the band at the time, and after playing a supportive role to Grolnick as the second keyboardist, Carter became the sole keyboardist when Grolnick tragically passed away in 1996.

The “Secret” is out! 2013 Grammy winner Gregg Karukas is back with a new collection featuring his signature piano touch, pristine production, and melodies that are both soulful and sophisticated. Organic, funky, and melodic is how the original Rippingtons keyboardist describes his latest, long awaited 12th solo project, "Soul Secrets". Gregg's elegant grand piano melodies and infectious grooves are everywhere; this time around he digs into his roots, featuring the classic Fender Rhodes, Wurlie, Minimoog and B3 keyboards quite a bit. At a generous and expansive 14 tracks and no covers, "Soul Secrets" reveals Karukas as an artist who has refined his sound to be instantly recognizable while constantly exploring a wide range of styles and grooves – from old school soul-jazz, with hints of gospel, R&B and funk to the world/samba grooves he immersed himself in while touring with Brazilian legends Sergio Mendes and Dori Caymmi. The album's debut single, “Elegant Nights” is classic Karukas; it was the #1 Most Added Track in its first week on radio. The live interplay sizzles as Gregg surrounds himself with an all-star guest list that includes his friends Rick Braun, Euge Groove, guitarists Ricardo Silveira, Michael O'Neill, Adam Hawley and James Harrah; violinist Charlie Bisharat, Luis Conte, Eric Valentine, Nate Phillips; vocalists Shelby Flint and Ron Boustead and 21 year old rising sax star and occasional touring partner Vincent Ingala.

Dion Dublin is a retired footballer (soccer player) from England. As an athlete, Dublin achieved much success during his career playing with a variety of teams. Underlying all of this was the desire to make music a bigger part of his life. During one game, Dublin began to formulate the idea of making a new percussive instrument. After retiring from the sports world, and 8 years later, Dion Dublin has introduced "The Dube" to the drumming and percussive world. The Dube is a wooden cube that is available in four sizes, and different colors. Primarily a hand percussion instrument, a player can also use mallets or sticks to play it. Playable on four sides, it produces sounds similar to a bongo, conga, cajon, all on a wooden playing surface. It can be played acoustically, or each model comes equipped with an internal microphone with a pickup that can be attached to an amplifier for those "electronic" gigs. Endorsed by such names as drummer Thomas Lang and percussionist Luis Conte, The Dube is sweeping Europe and the USA as the newest in innovative musical instruments. Learn what The Dube is all about-its uses, its cost, and its qualifications to be part of a musicians arsenal.
