Like I said, we were coming out with a BIG song for us, and it's finally here! We've pre-released our new single which is a pure hard salsa interpretation of Michael Jackson's classic, Billie Jean. The song is coming out officially on June 25, 2010, the one-year anniversary of MJ's death, but you can catch it on youtube here!:<div><br /></div><div><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/stO1ygoxSbk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/stO1ygoxSbk&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div><div><br /></div><div>The song was a lot of work and effort from our side, mostly from Ilya, who did the awesome hard salsa arrangement. But, it's always hard when you're doing a cover, especially such a FAMOUS one, because everyone is going to have their own opinion. For us, the most important thing was to maintain the main singable parts of the song so people could enjoy singing along in the club, make the beat very salsa-groovy, but still do it the Dislocados way, meaning that I wasn't trying to be too much like Michael on the vocals, and the band does its hard salsa thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you all enjoy it, we're really pleased. Special thanks to Sasha Sadovets from Na Hati Records for doing such a great job with the sound post-production.</div><div><br /></div><div>And, no, we haven't abandoned our old style and now are going to be doing just danceable salsa covers. But, we like to see what we can do when we experiment a bit. Be assured that on the next album you'll have the whole spectrum from this kind of stuff to intense jazzy hardcore jams!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-53567924720479332082010-05-31T10:14:00.000-07:002010-05-31T10:24:28.306-07:00Dislocados records NEW SINGLE!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Job0DJ9SuvuMDFbKEqIWPCdZ2Ra_Ygm5DNmCT6F-7qIoWxJk08hn1tMnIkoCXSRm-9lBlvjC5_h2h-h_6e9p_egharpiLTWjxed_e2_aELP4wCXVYkgK5kvBALZ20zw3uucD-IZ7WJow/s1600/DSC00463.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Job0DJ9SuvuMDFbKEqIWPCdZ2Ra_Ygm5DNmCT6F-7qIoWxJk08hn1tMnIkoCXSRm-9lBlvjC5_h2h-h_6e9p_egharpiLTWjxed_e2_aELP4wCXVYkgK5kvBALZ20zw3uucD-IZ7WJow/s320/DSC00463.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477484136977024002" /></a>So, just came back from the studio in Kiev this weekend. Awesome fun. I laid down the lead vocals for our new single coming out on JUNE 25TH! It's supposed to be a big deal for us, so I'm really excited.<div>I went with my brother, Nicholas, who joined Ilya and Lesya on coro and I think it worked out great. Nicholas gave a new flavour to the coro that you guys won't regret.</div><div>Before I forget, as always, special thanks to Sasha Sadovets of Na Hati Records, Ukraine, who made the recording process as enjoyable as possible, as usual. What a professional.</div><div>The plan is that the song will be available as a single download from iTunes, etc. Although, it always takes a little delay with iTunes, but even if it's not available there straight away, you'll be able to hear it starting June 25th on <a href="http://www.hardsalsa.com/radio">Hard Salsa Radio</a> in New York, around a bunch more radio stations worldwide, and I'm going to make it available for immediate listening on youtube. </div><div>We're keeping the song a big secret until it's out. The song has a couple of purposes. Mainly, it's to increase Dislocados' visibility among salseros that don't know us yet. Our main concentration was on:</div><div>1. increasing visibility</div><div>2. increasing "dance-ability"</div><div>3. making a special dedication to a beloved artist</div><div>Well, without saying more, I just have to say that the song seems awesome. We already pre-performed it twice in Kiev, and I gotta tell you, the audiences loved it. Ilya paid special attention to make the arrangement as danceable as possible without losing Dislocados' hard salsa essence. Be especially prepared for some great coros, great horn parts, and sing alongs...</div><div>Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know about it for now. It's the most exciting thing right now for us... We're done the rhythm section, lead and coro, and now we have to record the horns and mix it, and it'll be ready to go! </div><div>So, the countdown begins. T-25 days until Dislocados' new blockbuster hit...</div><div><br /></div><div>Get ready to hear it in a salsoteca near you!</div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-80578411614512088332010-04-10T21:42:00.000-07:002010-04-11T02:56:07.582-07:00Spotlight on Andrey Chayka<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFSyiju6rcrm22-7rZEoU4_TTfrViCorj4i76_Xk-WWLdKL6HL0PB10d2DW4Xn_sFAFXTDecZTA6n-MULgvlU39Znjy7SegAaRFfTD6rIGPCv8GbBMTshItYbTIEkeTiYb6Z-JPklBur9/s1600/andrei.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFSyiju6rcrm22-7rZEoU4_TTfrViCorj4i76_Xk-WWLdKL6HL0PB10d2DW4Xn_sFAFXTDecZTA6n-MULgvlU39Znjy7SegAaRFfTD6rIGPCv8GbBMTshItYbTIEkeTiYb6Z-JPklBur9/s320/andrei.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458738035142435714" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif, 'Lucida Sans';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Andrey is a fiercely committed Dislocados member and dedicated musician, and shines as a timbalero, particularly in his mind-blowing solos. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif, 'Lucida Sans';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif, 'Lucida Sans';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>АНДРЕЙ ЧАЙКА - ANDREY CHAYKA </b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif, 'Lucida Sans';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px; font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif, 'Lucida Sans';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Национальная Музыкальная Академия Украины им.

But, it's worthwhile to listen a little closer to it or to try to play it and, you begin to change your perspective - not so easy anymore, and, when the jazz musician starts to get it, he feels satisfied by his new feelings... if this continues, the musician himself won't notice how he falls in love with this full fury of energy, an unusual style of music for a European. Personally for me, salsa opened numerous new rhythmic feelings... and my jazz side only got better because of it...</span></span></span></div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-15185775193646912912010-03-23T10:55:00.001-07:002010-03-23T12:12:07.666-07:00Videos are up!

We didn't get a chance to use them before the concert, unfortunately, but I think it's important to post their ideas now. This part is in Russian for our Russian audiences.

Тем более если ты играешь эту музыку с </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">amazing</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">musicians</span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> (как в ДисЛоКадОс) к примеру, то ощутить этот своеобразный драйв не сложно (ну когда у всех нормальное настроение конечно же это немаловажно в любой музыке) (моё настроение на 80% зависит от трубы, даже я бы сказал от того сколько времени я с ней провожу в флигеле Глиэра). Что касается ритма это очень сложные комбинации рисунков на разных инструментах способны вскружить голову даже самым профессиональным музыкантам, так как они действительно сложны и если ты даже трубач или пианист или басист ты должен их обязательно знать (хотя бы основные рисунки основных стилей) чтобы быть уверенным в себе и чтоб не случалось разный мистейков на сцене! Как типо джамену мне интересно играть сальсу так как в импровизации в сальсе есть определённые правила в основном заключающиеся в красивых мелодиях построенных на самых обыкновенных трезвучиях в необыкновенных ритмических построениях, и конечно же масса разных клише которые используются в сальсе так же как и в джазе (или не используются). А как трубачу особенно интересно играть сальсу ещё и потому что эта музыка даёт возможность играть на трубе совсем иначе чем в любой другой музыке Это в превую очердь проявляется конечно же в штрихах, в звуке, в выдержке ну и конечно же в выдержке (endurance) и в регистре (</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">range</span></span></span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">), (относительно двух остальных я мог бы написать наверное ещё на пару страниц но напишу в кратце). Что касается выдержки и регистра на трубе в сальсовой музыке это особая история, так как все сальсовые трубачи славятся своим невероятно мощным звуком и естественно умопомрачительным регистром что придаёт этой музыке фантастическую энергию. Для того чтобы играть сальсу трубачу ему главное не только иметь определённый регистр выдержку и звук, а и невероятную дисциплину которая будет помогать ему быть всегда в форме (вот кстати почему большинство трубачей более ответственно подходят к занятиям нежели другие инструменталисты 8-). Нет физической формы(на трубе) – нет и сальсы)))) В этой музыке можно оторватся вообщем(если знать как) </span></span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">gg</span></span></span></span></i></span></p><p align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Rough translation:</span></span></span></span></p><p align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;">I think that a jazz musician's interest in playing salsa lies in, above all, its incredible pace and drive (when it exists, of course ^ ^) it's unlike any other in the music world. Especially if you play this music with amazing musicians (as with Dislocados), for example, you feel this kind of drive is not difficult to achieve (well, of course when everyone's mood is good, as is similar in any music) (my mood is 80% dependent on the horn, especially I would say of how much time I spend with her in the wings of the Glier school). As for the rhythm, it's very complex with combinations of patterns on different instruments that can challenge you, even with the most professional musicians, as they are really complex and even if you trumpet or piano or bass you need to know (at least the basic patterns, basic styles) to be confident in yourself, and not to make too many mistakes on stage! In terms of jamming, it's interesting for me to play salsa because in salsa improvisation there are certain rules, which are primarily in the beautiful melodies built on triads of unusual rhythmic constructions, and of course the multitude of different riffs or quotes that are used in salsa as well as in jazz (or not used). A trumpet player in particular has fun playing salsa also because the music makes it possible to play the trumpet very different than in any other music, is reflected in the bars, the sound, and of course in the endurance and range, (on the other two I could probably write another couple pages but I'll write in brief). With regard to maturing and the register of the trumpet in salsa music, it's a special story, because all salsa trumpeters are famous for their incredibly powerful and natural sound mind bending register that gives the music a fantastic energy. In order to play salsa, a trumpet player not only has to have patience and good sound, but also incredible discipline that will help him to be in form (this is the why the majority of trumpeters take a more responsible approach to employment than other instrumentalists 8-). No physical form (in trumpet) - no salsa)))) In this music, you can let yourself go completely (if you know how) gg</span></span></span></span></p></span></i></span></span></div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-4762934732967566872010-01-24T11:31:00.000-08:002010-01-24T11:52:45.640-08:00Jimmy Bosch in Kiev!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-cEiGu1FZoZvXIwYca7nv_mt_jgYbyIoWOtHeHK1irYVP_ZBlF5jkR2nMhywDeak_B14MFzBCs1VlZGVWaS7NQVSFzm7NMdeJ_nlymCGXMVKrSUbJTY7o7NiSaMGi4RpHBGi-BeSKIUF/s1600-h/19560_1115082817804_1848976229_223921_4063832_n.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN-cEiGu1FZoZvXIwYca7nv_mt_jgYbyIoWOtHeHK1irYVP_ZBlF5jkR2nMhywDeak_B14MFzBCs1VlZGVWaS7NQVSFzm7NMdeJ_nlymCGXMVKrSUbJTY7o7NiSaMGi4RpHBGi-BeSKIUF/s400/19560_1115082817804_1848976229_223921_4063832_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430391488672412418" /></a>WE DID IT! We put on our CD release concert with Jimmy Bosch, and it was a success! First of all, we completely sold out, and more people were demanding tickets at the door. Salseros came from Kiev, Kharkov, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Prague, and perhaps other cities we're unaware of to celebrate live music in Kiev with the special honorable appearance of Jimmy Bosch!<div><br /></div><div>There is so much we can talk about, so I hope that Ilya will use the opportunity to make his own post so that I don't miss anything, and so that you can get a different perspective on our adventure. </div><div><br /></div><div>Among the difficulties was the fact that this was one of Kiev's coldest weeks in YEARS probably, with every day averaging -25 degrees Celsius. Because of this, many of us got sick, including Jimmy, Lesya, and myself - I was out the night before the concert with a super high fever, scared that I wouldn't be able to ATTEND the concert, let alone sing in it. Sacha's car broke down, the car I rented got stuck in ice and snow many times and Jimmy himself pushed it out of many a snowbank, something in my arm snapped from playing the guiro that I couldn't really play it anymore, the venue people (Galeria Lavra) did nothing that they were supposed to - the place was completely frozen by the day of the concert (and we were especially careful to ask about heat all throughout our preparations for the event), the toilets were broken, the place was filthy, and the cleaning people were nowhere to be found. We had to emergency-order extra special heaters for which we were going to pay a large yet needed amount, yet they never ended up showing up because they were "stuck in traffic". So, the salseros came and filled up an icy room, but it got warm really fast.</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite all of these problems the days were great. Two rehearsals with Jimmy were amazing. All of us were focused on his amazing skills, sound, rhythm, phrasing, and technique on the trombone, and his deep knowledge and experience with salsa music. All of us - I think especially the horns - were trying to observe every movement so that any detail could maybe make us just that much better of a salsa player. </div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, we got to hang out with Jimmy socially and he was great. Telling us the stories behind his songs, something about our other salsa idols, and generally laughing and having a ball with us, being the life of the party. Despite the INCREDIBLY difficult weather, Jimmy was a real sport and he seemed like he was having just as much fun as he would if he were playing in Puerto Rico, which made us feel very honored that he would go to the effort to make us feel so comfortable.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ilya, Jimmy and I even got to go on M1, the Ukrainian version of MTV, for an interview eaaaaaaarly Friday morning (again, reminding that it was COLD - the offices had very little heating). Otherwise, a few news channels came to take interviews with us on the night of the concert and we had our own camera crew which hopefully got to capture the magic.</div><div><br /></div><div>The actual concert was great, although it started a bit late. Paradush was amazing, perfectly supportive and full of energy with their Brazilian beats. We also had Yulia and Gabriel, two dance teachers from Kharkov, who were our last-minute MC's because Adrian couldn't make it in the end, and they did a fantastic job! They also brought 60 people to come see us all the way from eastern Ukraine, so we really appreciated it!</div><div><br /></div><div>The actual concert of Dislocados + JB was great. We played a couple of our tunes that Jimmy played along with, which were great, and otherwise we had SO MUCH FUN singing and playing Jimmy's songs. Jimmy was so full of energy, and this time the band let loose a bit too (not like at rehearsals as much) and had a great time, trying to improvise and generally just feel the music and have a great time.</div><div><br /></div><div>The whole experience was amazing, and we'd like to sincerely thank Jimmy Bosch again.

We finalized the opening band for our concert with Jimmy Bosch on January 23, 2010! I'm super excited because they were my first choice: I wanted a group of musicians that are also trying to promote international live music, and quite frankly, I was just unsure that we'd be able to get them because they're quite good to be *just* an opening band for us. But, we wanted this concert to be of the highest caliber, and so I'm really excited for our audience that they'll be able to see these guys at the event!</div><div><br /></div><div>The band is called <a href="http://www.paradush.com/">PARADUSH</a>, a pair of souls, as they tell me, but it also sounds like a Portuguese word kind of if you say it, which is appropriate because they play a lot of music based on Brazilian rhythms as well as in Portuguese, but from what I understand, they also sing in English, Ukrainian, etc, so it's a really nice mix of everything.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll post some more official information when I get it from them, but I wanted to just say how excited I am!</div><div><br /></div><div>Also newly announced to be working with us is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/adriangarciamusic">Adrian Garcia</a>! He will be the MC of the concert, and I'm super excited, because he unites all these cultures on a daily basis - himself being Cuban-Ukrainian. Adrian also has his own music career which you can check out on his website, so we're extra excited to have him support us like this.</div><div><br /></div><div>6 days 'til JB concert... insane... </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-44584204901822498272010-01-14T13:07:00.000-08:002010-01-14T13:13:41.447-08:00Cheers to our sponsors!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYPrODC1kxWR5eXW5m4gPW40cfO3ixY0IlrtdwJ8X1p0o5YFffBpHQd_AdlKcvARKYoD-OOIlgtuxnCH5qMJWOnbrMB8S-Nt56KHxCmd17UISuCXqMnvGjCY1bCVCR7j7QGgosK8ZFXDp/s1600-h/DSC_0105.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYPrODC1kxWR5eXW5m4gPW40cfO3ixY0IlrtdwJ8X1p0o5YFffBpHQd_AdlKcvARKYoD-OOIlgtuxnCH5qMJWOnbrMB8S-Nt56KHxCmd17UISuCXqMnvGjCY1bCVCR7j7QGgosK8ZFXDp/s400/DSC_0105.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426706207161590578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3afx17vYTsGBZDD2N0oyxtJIy0Q1EU_AmCPf8FSWAZEpnSa9HIcU4ULK7tSBlDwxS17t_5OpD6X3cilMfEDRsJAochKR46i78rzZCjOsnJdD9bd9Fvad-bhhPIoBfhwziCQVcZHpHbchN/s1600-h/DSC_0105.JPG"></a>What's On Kyiv came through and printed a full page article about Ilya, the band, and the event, along with our event poster on another page. <div><br /></div><div>Thanks to Neil and Tatiyana from What's On - the article and photo look great, and I hear we're already getting calls inquiring about the event!

In fact, before anything crazy happens, I tend to get very calm, and that's kind of where I'm at now.<div><br /></div><div>In fact, I was so much the "calm before the storm" that when I called JB yesterday to finalize the last plans, I was trying to not be hyper and I think I put him to sleep... haha. </div><div><br /></div><div>But there was one ridiculous part of the conversation. Jimmy, as the great man that he is, wanted to let me know that people already know about us. Now, the more times I tell the story, the more it could be like the fishing story, where you keep exaggerating the size of the fish you caught, but I'm pretty sure this is how it went:</div><div>JB: "By the way, did you know that you guys are well known?"</div><div>KP: "Really, what do you mean?"</div><div>JB: "When I was in Cali, Colombia, I said that I was going to Ukraine and people were asking me if I was going to play with Dislocados. So, they know you down there. They even have your music."</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, when I was re-telling this to Ilya, the irony suddenly dawned on me. JIMMY BOSCH was telling ME, Karolina, that DISLOCADOS is well known.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jimmy Bosch.</div><div><br />It reminded me of this Seinfeld scene (minus the anger and the dumping, but my enthusiasm for the irony was pretty much similar to Elaine's here):</div><div><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ric66aDTMY&hl=pl_PL&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8ric66aDTMY&hl=pl_PL&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div><br /></div><div>Gotta love JB. I'll try to keep up with the blog a bit more if I can for the days leading up to the concert cuz I think it'll be interesting to keep track of this ridiculous experience.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was searching around for different pics of our guys, and I found this pic of Sergey (2nd trumpet/flugelhorn) playing with <a href="http://www.gogolbordello.com/">Gogol Bordello</a>! (That's him, smoking and playing, haha). Awesome.<div><br /></div><div>Anyway, back to the normal post. Since we're all quiet, you might think that nothing much is going on as we're preparing for JB, but you be wrong... That's exactly why I'm not writing.<div><div><br /></div><div>First of all, let me say that Jessie Kawata is an amazing designer and the amount of stupid things that have been going on with the poster are annoying the hell out of me, as with her. As you can see at the top of this page, the poster is done, but someone keeps whining about something or stopping the process for some reason or another and we're just trying to get them printed already... Plus, we wanted to paste them around the city, but apparently that costs a lot more than we were prepared for, and since it's wintertime, we figure that maybe people won't be walking outside so much anyway...? We've decided to put our money into more targetted promotional media.</div><div><br /></div><div>Secondly, we're trying to find an opening act. Who knew it would take this long... We have to make the exact right decision for us, and also make sure that the people we invite feel like it's a good fit for them too. And for some reason, it's been difficult for Ilya and I to come to a perfect decision and find the right act. And, it's cutting it close...</div><div><br /></div><div>Jimmy and Ilya have finally agreed on a setlist, which is quite exciting, and it also enables us to start preparing the right songs, rather than just prepare in general. In that, it's hard for me because I'm away from the band, so I have to be disciplined enough to rehearse my voice in general, practice those songs and exactly the feeling I want for them (I came up with some new ideas and variations in some of our old stuff), to practice the Cuban guiro which is a new instrument for me and I'm very conscious that I have to find the right groove, practice the Puerto Rican guiro which our amazing friends from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/trespanderos">Tres Panderos</a> sent me, figure out the new coro arrangements with Ilya (because now Andrey is singing with us), practice my movements onstage, actually plan with Lesya how some songs will look visually, especially practice the JB songs so he'll be pleased with them, and most of all, practice my rhythm while singing - which is a daily feat for me. And that's just me. Can you imagine what Ilya has to do as a bandleader?</div><div><br /></div><div>Two other people we have to find that are crucial - one is video crew, since we're planning to record the whole concert live. Our good friend <a href="http://www.myspace.com/adriangarciamusic">Adrian Garcia</a> gave us a good tip, and otherwise, I've got some backup crew from Poland that could eventually come. And, the last thing is to find the right MC........ and so far we're more behind with that than with the opening band. Because that's the trick. We can easily find "any" MC and "any" band, but it's about finding the *right* ones.</div><div><br /></div><div>And of course, we always welcome more money. I just watched Julie & Julia today as I was making promotional stuff for the concert, and she got people to send her stuff by the sole act of writing a blog. Well, in case anyone has any spare money that they have no idea how to spend, you are welcome to send it our way. I assure you, it won't go to waste. ;) hehe</div><div><br /></div><div>Dislocados is out of work for one week while Caribbean Club takes a break from live music for the first weekend of 2010, so there's more time for practicing and a bit less time for earning a living.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, here I am, practicing and practicing. In fact, 24hr/day connected Ilya isn't even ever online anymore because he's practicing all the time. We're going into lockdown mode here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, EVERYONE is telling us they want to go to this concert, but they all want to wait to buy their tickets, which is making me really nervous. And, we did what I thought you should do - make the tickets more expensive at the door than beforehand, and make the salsa school dance teachers push the tickets on their students, but still ppl are being lazy. That's weird, right? What can I do? Any ideas? I could use some audience participation here like on Julie & Julia... :P ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok that's it for me now.

And, unfortunately, I'm even scared to blog about this, which is a shame that I'm scared to exercise some free speech while we say we've come so far. So, before I go on, let me just say that I, Karolina Patocki, am taking this on myself, and am not expressing the views of any other band member in particular.</div><div><br /></div><div>Presidential elections are coming up in Ukraine, and right when the campaign opened, a mass hysteria started about swine flu in the country. It is true that there are many people sick, but first of all, it is from all flus and respiratory illnesses, and as far as I understand, the statistics this year are not dissimilar to any other year.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dislocados is organizing the biggest event of our lifetime as a band, and one of the biggest multicultural concerts to this date in Ukraine, intending to open the country up to embrace other cultures and people of different backgrounds working together to enjoy their common passion, regardless of their background.</div><div><br /></div><div>And yet now there's a talk about a state of emergency in the country, possibly cancelling the upcoming elections for the foreseeable future.</div><div><br /></div><div>And we are frustrated. We're working for a better Ukraine, for a better unity of international culture in these 20 years of freedom...</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, we refuse to give in. The show must go on. We're going on with the concert on the planned date of January 23rd. We believe that it will happen and it will be a success, and we ask all Ukrainians to join us.</div><div><br /></div><div>And as we close with the words of our Plena Pa' Tontos, now you understand why we sing:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>A mi me cansa la politica</b></div><div><b>La economia, la religion</b></div><div><b>Quiero cantar en armonia</b></div><div><b>Porque la plena </b>(y nuestra salsa dura) <b>celebra mi pasion.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>I'm tired of politics</b></div><div><b>Of economics, of religion</b></div><div><b>I want to sing in harmony</b></div><div><b>Because the plena </b>(and our salsa dura) <b>celebrates my passion.</b></div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-89283243029461421702009-10-20T13:37:00.000-07:002009-10-20T23:59:11.887-07:00Dislocados with JIMMY BOSCH!!!

And now, Jimmy Bosch is agreeing to come play with us at our CD release party in Kiev!!! </div><div><br /></div><div>We're going bananas with excitement. I think JB is one of the only musicians that actually every single member in the band likes. (For other artists, we have varying opinions, which of course keeps things interesting.) He's the real symbol of salsa dura these days, and we're so happy to partner with him to promote international hard salsa!</div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone is going mad. For me and Ilya this is the best of the best at this point for us. Now our task is to make a KILLER event.</div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8A5v3aM_jqqvh33866lp4yIG3lwGYIMW_2GKQbZbwjo3VNLzP69s95Qf4UR-nMgmCuQlQQ1GBJb7yIzBsCQEC0Y7Th_pzNaUzY9ben2PSKG4jNw8rpXGSq3V5O9izvkD5WXVjxxlP2Uju/s200/DSCN0095.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 184px; height: 200px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394944172255516674" /><div>But even I saw Sergey (2nd trumpet & flugelhorn) in our Lvov concert about a week ago, and he couldn't stop giggling like a schoolgirl. I hope Jimmy gives him a big wet kiss when he sees him, haha, that'll be it for him, he'll be set for life.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's really important for me and Ilya that we use this event to broaden our audience in Ukraine. This is so that Ukrainians can really start respecting what they have in their country as much as outsiders do. We are </div><div>really trying to open up Ukraine culturally, and so we don't want only the regular dancers to come, although we LOVE it when they do. We of course want to take advantage of the exhibition of real live salsa dura to show the Ukrainian dancers that it's the best music to dance to (their repertoire is still a bit limited, although growing every day).</div><div><br /></div><div>We also want to take the opportunity to show Ukrainian musicians that salsa offers a lot of satisfaction technically, artistically, musically... and to encourage opening cultural horizons in music.</div><div><br /></div><div>As well, we really want international representatives to show up to support us, because we know the Americans, French, Germans, Canadians, et al, have all at some point expressed interest in investing in Ukraine not only financially but culturally. But, this is their chance to participate in a historic cultural event.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a huge deal. There has never been an event like this in Kiev. That's why we have to make it good now.</div><div><br /></div><div>In other news, our beloved bandleader, Ilya Yeresko, just recently went to Yalta where he arranged the music for a certain portion of a new huge film that's being recorded there. I think they're doing it in Russian, it's called "Алые Паруса" ("Scarlet Sails"), but we're super proud that people are starting to recognize his talents. He recorded the track with our old friend Susana, who has recently gained fame as Jamala, the new Ukrainian pop sensation. </div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq-qce50aBLvNr1-JG_t1D_BS3H2sOQsTq0c2CXEhI2CBf-Dfl604nh51tUUm3PjrkYqWj4d2T8sKTmmeArUzsRedlMZzr2gd1OToCzNe0r3_zCiy2_7cB8AXImHqKvLcM1wY7JP550pFW/s200/x_46021a74.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394792095793266642" /><div>Let's hope "film composer" will add itself more and more to his resume.

I mean, the guy IS a bit harsh, but at the same time he gives up complete respect to Santa Rosa where it is deserved. And, however much I would be honoured to play with ANY great salsa musician, you gotta love this guy's commitment to salsa dura/clasica. Either way, I hope he went to that concert in the end.</div><div><br /></div><div>Long live live music. :)</div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619396374381571815.post-86975791396884928172009-08-31T13:05:00.000-07:002009-08-31T13:39:39.082-07:00...

We've had a lot of things that took us in a lot of directions this summer, but now the blog resumes. :)<div><br /></div><div>Just writing a message to kick start this thing. Soon we'll talk about the things that went on this summer and, more im</div><div>portantly, the challenges that lie ahead.</div><div><br /></div><div>First, let's take a look at the picture of the horns at sound check in Yalta. Ridiculous and hilarious. Love it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Secondly, we're in the process of planning a couple of concerts and trips. The trick is going to be to see which ones we can swing the fastest and with the highest quality. </div><div><br /></div><div>Third, Ilya (our bandleader, just to remind you...) has been caught on video and it's posted on YouTube in a jazz thing he did (Piano Kolo in Kiev). <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sukmqlR-3Ro">This</a> is his composition, Running Away from the Small Apple. It's quite cool to see what our salsa master does in his jazz time. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; white-space: pre; "><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sukmqlR-3Ro&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sukmqlR-3Ro&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Fourth is a combination of</div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAT-y3MlDFEBPZK1aPPvGxPXSxb4uCu-iHRAenBmcpVVTbnETBk4dh6gd3tUuWk1JKLkTo2uZopCA9mTfaYDhfwwU_NWRd1eWr48tD4OuA9n-nz0Z6pUVBbv03WrxOqA2YZxdv8QBLUqBe/s320/lesand2.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 289px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376226163078747426" /><div> 2 new things (in one picture). "La Palapa" is now playing on New York City airwaves on Hard Salsa Radio, which is awesome, because it's Lesya's first solo song to debut in New York. Before we had Resaca and Miedo that featured me on lead vocals, and Descarga de 44 which is a great instrumental track that showcases the talents of the whole band. Now, "La Palapa" makes its debut in New York, which introduces Lesya to the US salsa scene. She's got an awesome salsa feeling to her, so much so that nobody can believe she's Ukrainian. </div><div><br /></div><div>The second awesome piece of news is that Andrei (the other one in the pic) has now become even more valuable to our band. Since we've had a long line of coro singers in the band, we've found the hidden gem of Dislocados! Andrei, after a long time of being Ukraine's best timbalero and one of the hardest working members of the band, has decided to try singing coro. As it turns out, he's got an amazing old school salsa timbre to his voice, and it's also very high. Amazingly, his Spanish pronounciation is great, and what I love the best is that he's very well tuned all the time. :) Welcome, Andrei, to salsa coro, haha. He's gonna soon become our little Sabater.</div><div><br /></div><div>The last piece of news is that I've moved from France to Poland, which is cool because it's much closer to the band and makes it easier to get in a couple of salsa concerts on the weekend and organize our future salsa bonanzas. But, I'm having a hard time finding the salsa scene here. Out of 3 places that are supposed to be "the" salsa spots according to salsapower.com, only one of them still exists, and it's still not a very hard core salsa place. Hopefully we can discover the hidden salsa scene in Poland to bring the band here, and maybe do a few other concerts in Europe again, because I think Europe suits us nicely. ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok, that's it for me. Welcome back.</div>Dislocadoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10274560466715851800noreply@blogger.com0
