An impressive CD by percussionist, composer, arranger, and leader “Pibo” Marquez.Joel “Pibo” Marquez, without a doubt is one of the best Latin-jazz percussionists in the world, and in this CD he shows again why he's one of the greatest. His abilities as a multi-percussionist, composer and performer place him among the most important figures on the International Latin Jazz Scene.“Pibo” has become one of the most frequent and popular guests at the most important festivals in Europe over the last years. From Montreux to Umbria, Palatia, Espoo (Finland), Leverkusen, Dirnstein (Germany) and all the way to Minori and Jazz Baltica, he has traveled throughout Europe and been a great success with audiences. Now there is finally a recording, which documents these successful performances, plenty of high energy, vigorous improvisations and thundering groove with a universal meaning.He was born in Caracas June twentytwo of 1966. To an early age, he began experiencing music by the incentive of his family. He began his musical studies of cuatro, and string instrument of great root in the Venezuelan music, in the school Cabrini Mother and from there his participation in different folklore groups with just 8 years of age.He continued his formation at the popular school Cristo Rey, in the district 23 de Enero at Caracas where he refined his pleasure for the Latin American percussion and its origins. Then he received classes with different professors of popular style and he links himself with works of investigation about cultural and traditional manifestations of different regions all over Venezuela. This work soon extends to other countries in Latin America, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and Surinam, having the support of an important cultural organization in Venezuela. In these journeys he has the possibility of entering in direct contact with the cultural manifestations of these countries, study them, and learn themFrom 1980, he has the opportunity to put into practice what he learned from these experiences linking them with different groups of Venezuelan folklore up to 1984 when Grupo Madera summoned him. This group of international recognition helps him to show his excellent musical capacity and his extensive knowledge of the percussion. With Grupo Madera he tours for different countries from Latin America and Europe.After separating from this group, Marquez began to exploit other musical styles like salsa, Latin jazz as well as contemporary music for ballet and theatre. He then moved to Colombia, where he resided for six years. During this period, the percussionist assisted many of the famous Latin American artists and instrumental groups by joining them for concert dates and recordings. Luckily, he was hired as a sideman for Alfredo de la Fes’ orchestra in 1998, thus being able to follow them on a tour of Europe, also being featured at the Montreux Jazz Festival of that year. Soon afterwards, famous guitarist Carlos Santana commissioned him to write some songs for him and touring with him – a great honor for Marquez, who considers Santana to be one of his personal heroes within the Latin American music sceneIn the beginning of 1998, Pibo Marquez was offered the chance to produce the first recording under his name. The album bears the name “Joel Pibo Marquez, Con Las Manos Calientes” – JPM, he with the hot hands! He shared this production with musicians from different origin, in particular with Cuban bass player Diego Valdez. This album shows Marquez’ increasing musical maturity by revealing a great variety of percussive colors.

Sein erstes Instrument, eine Cuatro, ein venezulanisches Streichinstrument spielte er nach kürzester Zeit so gut, dass er in verschiedenen Volksmusik- gruppen ein Gastspiel gab.1984 gründete er die international bekannte „Group Madera“ (Latin Music). Er tourte mit dem berühmten „Carlos Santana“ und schrieb im Auftrag dessen einige Songs.1998 nahm der Percussionist sein erstes eigenes Album „ Joel Pibo Marquez, Con Las Manos Calientes“ auf. www.descarga.com www.cdlatino.it http://cdbaby.com/cd/jpibomarquez ITALIAN Joel Pibo Marquez In Venezuela existã o diversitate extraordinarã de la ritmurile senzuale de pe coastã pânã la armoniile instrumentale minunate ale Llanos-ului. Pibo Marquez vine sã întregeascã o listã ce include pe Alirio Diaz, unul dintre cei mai buni interpreti de chiatarã clasicã din lume, Los Amigos Invisibles, care îsi difuzeazã muzica Funk Latino pe tot globul.Pibo Marquez este unul dintre percutionistii cei mai respectati din lumea Jazzului Latino care a fãcut inregistrãri cu muzicieni precum Carlos Santana si Orishas. Nãscut în 1966 în Caracas, Venezuela, Marquez a fost introdus de la o vârstã fragedã în lumea muzicii de cãtre familia sa. A crescut între Catia si San Augustin, în zona durã a Caracasului, cunoscutã pentru cã a dat cei mai buni percutionisti ai Venezuelei.Marquez exploreaza si alte stiluri muzicale precum salsa, jazzul latin si muzica contemporanã pentru teatru si balet. S-a mutat apoi în Columbia unde a trãit timp de sase ani. Din fericire, în 1998 a fost angajat de cãtre orchestra lui Alfredo de la Fes, ceea ce i-a permis sã concerteze împreunã cu aceasta în Europa, apãrând în acelasi an pe scena Festivalului de Jazz Montreux. Curând dupã aceea, faimosul chitarist Carlos Santana i-a cerut sã compunã câteva cântece pentru el - o mare onoare pentru Marquez care-l considerã pe Santana ca fiind unul dintre eroii sai personali de pe scena muzicii din America Latinã.Stilul sãu este mai degrabã universal, combinând ce este mai bun în muzica din Venezuela cu o varietate de influente care l-au marcat în urma cãlãtoriilor sale. Folosesc muzica folcloricã venezueleanã ca un fundament, dar am renuntat la ea ca scop în sine. Imi place sã combin diferite stiluri si sã le dau sansa si celorlalti muzicieni sã strãluceascã, explica Marquez. Albumul "The Best of Hot Hands", este o lucrare stelarã care reflectã originile sale si scena muzicalã internationalã de la Paris. Nu înceteazã nici un moment sã uimeascã si dovedeste cã Marquez a studiat serios ritmurile afro-latine ale Caraibelor si le combinã perfect cu fusion, jazz, funk si salsa, pentru a creea ceva magnific www.descarga.com www.cdlatino.it http://cdbaby.com/cd/jpibomarquez
