Su Carrera Musical

A los doce años, mientras cursaba sus estudios regulares, alternamente fue aceptado en la Escuela Libre de Música Ernesto Ramos Antonini de San Juan.

Allí comenzó a estudiar Trompeta ya que no había cupo para percusión. Sin embargo el maestro de percusión le permitió ser parte de su clase por lo que estudio Trompeta y Percusión simultáneamente.

Probado su talento, Omar tuvo la oportunidad de ser parte de la orquesta de baile de la Escuela, donde comenzó tocando Bongo y años más tarde tocaría Trompeta.

Hizo parte de algunas competencias de talento donde ocupo el primer lugar ya desempeñándose como Cantante.

Al graduarse de la Escuela Libre de Música, Omar Negrón recibió la medalla Rafael Hernández por su versatilidad interpretando diferentes instrumentos, incluyendo su voz.

Con tan solo 16 años de edad, Omar hace su primera grabación profesional como cantante, gracias a una oportunidad que recibió de Mickey Cora y su Orquesta Cábala, donde pudo grabar e interpretar los temas: “Queriendo Vivir Contigo” y “Seremos Siempre Amigos”.

En 1990, Omar Negrón fué reclutado por el Conjunto Chaney luego de la salida del cantante José Cheo Andújar.

participant to suggest a favorite song they would like to reimagine with the “Trumpet Legend”, and the results are absolutely amazing as the list of collaborators.

1- ULTIMATE DUETS Ten-time Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval released his more recent album “Ultimate Duets” in 1998.

Marking the continuation of a distinguished four-decade catalog of over 30 groundbreaking titles, the album finds renowned artists from the worlds of Pop, Jazz, Classical, and Latin music coming together for the Cuban maestro’s first duets.

At the outset of recording, Arturo with more than 40 years making music, wanted to make a CD with singers that perhaps nobody has related to Jazz, so he made a list with more than 20 names of artists that he admired deeply but who sing different genres and then simply asked each

ULTIMATE DUETS includes 11 hilarious tracks: “Andante, Andante” – featuring the awaited return of the globally recognized voice of ABBA’s Anni-Frid Lyngstad. This song from the multi-platinum Super Trooper album marked the first time that a member of the Swedish supergroup has returned to the studio to record one of their classics. Stevie Wonder chose to record “People” (which he and Sandoval first performed at a Grammy tribute to Barbara Streisand), whereas Prince Royce turned the tables and decided to record Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” (Popularized in the 70s) in a contemporary Bachata style.

Likewise, the Spanish singer/songwriter Alejandro Sanz also participated in this album versioning “Corazón Partio” featuring Big Phat Band. In the same way, Arturo recorded with legends and new generation voices: Plácido Domingo (“Granada” feat. Vicente Amigo), Pharrell Williams (“Arturo Sandoval” feat. Ariana Grande), International Salsa Magazine

Josh Groban (Solo Esta Soledad), Juan Luis Guerra (La Bilirrubina), David Bisbal (El Ruido), Al Jarreau (After All), and Celia Cruz (Quimbara). “It was very exciting to include something with Celia, whom I always admired and loved very much. I couldn't make a record of duets without her, the eternal Salsa Queen”, Arturo said.

Although in this album Sandoval shows a great variety of genres, he assures that he won’t move away from Jazz: “It’s my main genre and would

from Jazz: “It’s my main genre and would never leave it, but I am also a big fan of music in general. I've always liked Salsa, Merengue, Pop ... Good music is what matters most to me, for that I'm so happy with this album”, Sandoval said for an international media.

Release: May 18th, 2018 Available on your favorite digital platform!

2.- CHRISTMAS DAME

AT

NOTRE

Arturo Sandoval, the most dynamic live performer of our time and virtuous trumpeter recorded his FIRST official Christmas Album with the ensembles of Notre Dame one year ago.

This album contains 12 Joyous tracks featuring the Notre Dame Children’s Choir & Isabella Burns (Ave María), Notre Dame Children’s Choir (Joy To The World, O Come All Ye Faithful, and Silent Night), and Silent Night), Symphonic Winds (Let It Shine and Fantasy On Fum, Fum, Fum), Notre Dame Jazz Ensemble (The Christmas Song and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas), Gabriella Solis & Stephen Lancaster (I'll Be Home for Christmas), Alyse Jamieson & Jazz Ensemble (All I Want For Christmas Is You), Matthew Kelly & Emorja Roberson (Frosty The Snowman), Victoria Fraser & Notre Dame Children's Choir (O Holy Night), Sacred Music at Notre Dame Vocalists, and graduate Jazz trio!

LIVE AT YOSHI’S

The last ISM recommendation is this live album recorded in Yoshi´s, an important venue located in Oakland, California. This Trumpet Concert in which Sandoval and crew render musical honors was launched in 1995 and contains seven tracks: first pays tribute to the genre’s earliest New Orleans traditions (Second Line – Joe Avery’s Blues) then proceeding on to Bebop (Bebop Medley). Without forgetting his deep Latin roots (El Manisero) and his bound-less love for mentor Dizzy Gillespie (Dear Diz and Every Day I Think of You), as well as for trumpet icons Clifford Brown (Joy Spring Sureña) and Miles Davis (Seven Steps to Heaven). A dollop of Clark Terry’s “mumbling” is even thrown in for good measure.

"I enjoyed Arturo Sandoval's Latin Jazz concert at Yoshi's night club on July 4th. He combined all kinds of Jazz inspiration into his own unique "Latin Soul" music. His music is so free and universal. I feel Arturo's inspiration can bring us together and is taking us into a new dimension of our new world… – Yoshi.

From the creation of the project, the heart of repertoire focuses on a color Salsa Dura 70's, embellished with Bolero, Merengue, Chachacha, Son, Cuban Rumba, Timba.

The compositions and rearrangements of Mura Peringa, faithful or transfigured, were able to invite the crowds to dance on the stages of the French grand-est, and during the summer tours in Switzerland and in the south of France.

Since 2006, the group brings together 9 musicians (20 - 34 years old) united by their passion for Latin music.

Their influences are important musicians and orchestras such as: International Salsa Magazine

Europe / France / Strasbourg

Mura Peringa's music, tasty, throbbing, intoxicating, is supported by rich arrangements, and by the solid instrumental and stylistic mastery of her musicians.

The strength of Mura Peringa is her ability to metamorphose. The lead vocals on the front of the stage go from one musician to another, causing so many reversals of point of view.

The staging of the game and the transitions are served by a light creation that finishes training the audience at the rhythm of the clave and syncopations.

Get ready to swing; it will be hard to resist the call of the dance Mura Peringa, a tribute to Salsa culture, given by 9 crazy musicians of Latin music.

United in the most vibrant Salsa orchestra of the Great East, songs, brass and percussion invite you to dance to Afro-Caribbean rhythms and music.

Listening to the surprising compositions and rearrangements of Mura Peringa, you will not sit for long.

Europe / Israel / Tel Aviv

Salsa in Israel his ancient land is as exciting as the many stories it tells. It is the land of Abraham father to Isaac and his half brother Ishmael the patriarchs of the Arabs and the Jewish people.

Patriarchs born of Sarah and Hagar. It is the land of Jesus and his many stories. It is the land where all three groups claim Jerusalem as holy. For the Jewish it is because of King David, King Salomon, the two temples, the tomb of KIng David and the Western Wall.

The Muslims regard it as the place from where the prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven in a flying horse.

The Christians see it as the birthplace of Christ, the via dolorosa and the crucifiction. Each group has a “gate”.

Why even the hamburger chain McDonalds seems to have gotten their “golden arcs” from one of the gates.

At 71 years of age, Israel is one of the youngest countries in the world.

Needless to say the country is deeply divided, with serious challenges facing its leaders. A majority is required to govern effectively. While 80 % is said to be secular (non religious ethnic) and 16% ultra-orthodox, the ultra-orthodox control the swing vote. To be Jewish you must be born of a Jewish mother, or converting. Around 500,000 Latinos are Jewish citizens. This is around 5% in a country of 8.5 million people. The population is very diverse. Listening to people talk, at times I felt that I was in Russia. The migration from the former USSR comprised for over a million immigrants. The Roman Empire could not afford rebellion in Judea as it was the crossroads between Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle east. Massada is the confirmation of the determination to be a free people.

s a new nation the argument that tradition, culture and religion had to be nurtured and recaptured was presented by the ultra-orthodox. As its’ first Prime Minister it is said that David Ben-Gurion gave some 50 persons a waiver from obligatory military service. Much to the displeasure of many seculars, the ultra-orthodox have since grown in numbers and receive government assistance so that they are free to do nothing else than to study. However with the control of their swing vote, the ultra-orthodox continue to be exempt from obligations. After finishing mandatory school, all citizens must render military service, two years for the women and three years for the men.

Each year, about 6,000,000 tourists visit Thailand. That number continues to grow by leaps and bounds as the world discovers what a wonderful place it is.

Bangkok feels an influx of 11,000,000 non-resident visitors each year.

A smile can go a long way, and you’ll find more smiles in Thailand than just about anywhere else. In fact, it’s sometimes known as the “land of smiles” because the people of Thailand seem to be always ready with a smile.

They are a peace-loving culture, desiring harmony over conflict.

Each visitor to Thailand leaves with a better understanding of how special the country is, with many coming back to get married in a place they fell in love with.

When will it be your turn to discover what makes Thailand so interesting?

Thailand is one of those places where day smoothly progresses to night, and you still have enough to see and do every day of your holiday! It really is hard to weigh the beauty of Thailand from when the sun comes up and when it goes down. The country’s natural 59

beauty knows no bounds, with the vast blue sea and dense green cover in every direction, and beaches and cultural hubs in between.

The scenic spots are best visited during the day, but at night, Thailand takes on a whole new avatar. Beach parties, safaris, night markets, nightclubs, street food and larger-than-life shows will take your breath away, while you join the throngs of visitors who love experiencing the country under an inky sky and twinkling stars.

Conoce las conexiones de los bailes tropicales ¿Sabías que las personas tienes varias formas de comunicarse?

La comunicación oral es la que utilizamos normalmente para comunicarnos de tal forma establecer y mantener relaciones personales, y para mostrar no solo palabras y expresar emociones y/o sentimientos se utiliza la comunicación corporal, la cual se puede decir en pocas palabras que es una forma creativa que expresa mediante gestos, contacto visual, poses y movimientos de brazos y piernas; convirtiéndose esta forma de comunicación en algo más íntimo y certero sin la necesidad del uso de las palabras.

En las actividades sociales, una de las más populares es el baile, el cual es

muy importante la comunicación corporal ya que la pareja o grupo necesita saber ciertas señales que indican el “cuando” o “como”, para así realizar los pasos y como resultado el éxito de dicha interpretación pondrá a prueba la calidad, madurez y crecimiento de los bailarines en los ritmos que bailen.

Claro, cabe destacar que cada género musical tiene sus propias normas, sobretodo en el conteo de los pasos en la música, el cual le da la gracia, estabilidad y ritmo a los bailarines en la canción tocada ya sea en un evento musical y es de vital importancia no solo para un evento casual sino para una competencia.

Entre los ritmos latinos más importantes y que son esenciales y/o significativos son: •La Salsa: un ritmo tropical latino que a pesar que nació en Cuba por la mezcla de la “Guaracha”, “Son”, “Mambo”, “Cha Cha Chá” con un estilo único, a través del tiempo surgieron varios tipos (Salsa Cubana, Salsa en Linea, Salsa Casino, Salsa New York o estilo Mambo, Salsa estilo Cali, Salsa Puerto Riqueña y la salsa venezolana). En este baile es muy importante prestar atención a la mirada, las manos y brazos (este último en el caso del hombre ya que con el domina y/o controla a la mujer en el baile y ella

debe interpretar cual es el próximo movimiento) para así poder realizar ya sea un paso sencillo a unas vueltas, las cuales hay una gran variedad de ellas.

•La Bachata: es un género musical bailable originario de la República Dominicana, dentro de lo que se denomina folclore urbano.

Está considerado como un derivado del bolero rítmico, con influencias de otros estilos como el son cubano y el merengue. Este baile tiene gran sensualidad al igual que el resto de los ritmos del Caribe, donde requiere de un aspecto inmejorable por parte de los bailarines al realizarlo, donde es importante esa conexión con la pareja para que pueda impresionar al público.

•Merengue: es un género musical bailable originado en la República Dominicana a finales del siglo XIX. Es muy popular en todo el continente americano, donde es considerado, junto con la salsa, como uno de los grandes géneros musicales bailables que distinguen el género latinoamericano.

•Kizomba: un ritmo muy sensual cual surgió en Angola, el cual resulto de la mezcla de 3 culturas (Colonia Angolana, colonia portuguesa y parte de Cabo Verde “Brasil” como del Caribe Francés de Martinica y Guadalupe.). En este ritmo es de vital importancia la conexión de la pareja sobretodo de la mujer ya que el movimiento de las caderas son lentos y sensuales al igual que sus pasos. Sabías que, muchas personas tienen el prejuicio de que es un baile muy sensual, sin embargo, es tan sensual como tú lo quieras proyectar, de igual forma pasa con la Bachata y el Merengue pueden ser tan sensuales como tú los quieras proyectar o tan normales como se desee hacerlo”.

Así que, si quieres darle vida, gracia, elegancia y popularidad a tu danza, ten en cuenta, ten en cuenta estas características e como logras sincronizarte con tu pareja y muestra al tus espectadores ya sea en una fiesta personal, competencia, evento y/o congreso ya sea nacional o internacional lo que es un verdadero baile.
