Multiple Grammy® Award Winning Band Bacilos, to release long awaited album entitled SINVERGÜENZA, on September 28

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2004

Warner Music Latina has announced the release on September 28th of SinVergüenza, the long awaited album by multiple Grammy® Award winning band BACILOS. SinVergüenza was produced by world-renowned Juan Vicente Zambrano (Celia Cruz, Ricky Martin, J-Lo) and the late Tom Capone (Maria Rita, Skank) and recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Miami, Florida. The new production is the follow-up to the mega-hit and last year’s Grammy® Award winning Best Latin Pop album Caraluna,

SinVergüenza is a fusion of genres which is most represented in BACILOS’ own members: Colombian born singer/songwriter and guitarist Jorge Villamizar, Brazilian bassist Andre Lopes and Puerto Rican percussionist and drummer José Javier (J J) Freire, together the band brings forth their own ethnicity by creating a mélange of pop, samba, tropical, alt-rock, reggae, among others and thus infusing a peculiar and very own sound.

The first promotional single “Pasos de Gigante”, was released last month and has quickly become embraced by fans and radio stations across the U.S. and Latin America “Pasos de Gigante”, written by BACILOS’ own Jorge Villamizar, is a simple love story that starts with a rhythm reminiscent of footsteps (“pasos”) and erupts into an up-tempo celebration of Colombian sounds with Haitian flavor.

SinVergüenza promises to be a more stronger and ambitious album than the group’s previous ones. “We have become very aware of our own environment,” says Villamizar. “Our songs are more intense and socially conscious, without leaving behind a higher dosage of romanticism.” The intensity, he says, comes from “being more self-confident and secure in what we are doing.”

BACILOS, who just came back from a trip to Kenya, where they filmed a TV special for Animal Planet, will be on a promotional tour, visiting Puerto Rico, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile in October; and launches their US Concert Tour in November. Dates will be forthcoming.

The video for “Pasos de Gigante” will be film in Puerto Rico shortly, and is to be directed by Carlos Perez

Could the Secret of Winning Major Voice Competitions Lie in Biofeedback?

(PRWEB) March 06, 2012

The Limited Edition Voice suite, just launched by the BFE-LFB program, is designed for use with the world-leading ProComp Infiniti biofeedback system manufactured by Thought Technology Ltd. In the suite, Dr Adam Kirkpatrick makes available his experience and knowledge to the novice to complement his established voice teaching method and exciting research.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is an associate professor of music at Kennesaw State University where he is head of the voice department. He has sung operatic roles and concerts professionally in many theatres throughout the US. When asked about the new suite, Lawrence Klein, Vice President at Thought Technology commented, The Voice software is a really exciting product that opens the door for biofeedback practitioners across the country to help singers improve both performance and health. Keeping the voice in top form is important, but mastering a technique that might provide the upper hand at an audition in a highly competitive industry is priceless.

Thought Technology is a corporate sponsor of the BFE-LFB program and will be exhibiting at the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) Annual Conference in Baltimore this week. Biofeedback professionals can learn more about the equipment Adam Kirkpatrick uses with his voice suite at booths 21 and 22.

Biofeedback for Music and the Performing Arts

When asked for his comments on the use of biofeedback in the world of music and the performing arts, Mr. Klein replied, When McGill University required a wireless audience response system to measure affective response to live music in both the musicians and their audiences they chose the ProComp Infiniti system over all other competitive systems. (For more information on how the system is used http://www.thoughttechnology.com/pdf/Mcgill%20Ad%208.pdf) The use of biofeedback for optimal performance training is not new. In fact, Dr. Vietta Sue Wilson has used biofeedback with peak performers for years.

Peak Performance in Sports

The Optimizing Performance & Health Suite designed by Dr. Vietta Sue Wilson and published by the BFE is for professionals, educators and researchers who want to use biofeedback with athletes, executives and other peak performers. This Limited Edition suite supports techniques developed throughout Dr. Wilson`s career and her years spent training elite and Olympic athletes. It includes a specialized assessment script and an Excel report that allows easy interpretation and implementation of a training program directly from Dr. Wilsons practice.

Two users of Dr. Wilson`s suite are Tim Harkness and Pierre Beauchamp. Tim is a psychophysiologist involved in high performance stated, I am accustomed to using the Infiniti system to train athletes to perform under pressure. At Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, and in front of a crowd of 40,000 people, I used my Infiniti system to analyse the sEMG of an England Rugby academy kicker executing kicks at half-time of a test match between England and Argentina. The assessment went smoothly; prepping the skin and attaching the electrodes was done in a few minutes. The athlete kicked 5/6, and reported no inhibition from the monitoring equipment.

Dr. Beauchamp holds a doctorate in Sports Psychology (University of Montreal) and Masters/Bachelors degrees from McGill University. A former McGill varsity hockey player, Pierre has over thirty-five years of coaching experience at the varsity level in football, hockey, track, golf and as a Canadian National Team coach and sport psychology consultant. Pierre was the Sport Psychologist for the Men’s and Women’s Canadian Olympic Short Track Speed Skating Team that won 2 Gold, 2 Silver and a Bronze medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWbuSSAwqN0

Baltimore, Md. (PRWEB) November 09, 2012 Audience-favorite Mario Venzago will lead the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and Argentinian-born cellist Sol Gabetta in Elgars Cello Concerto on Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 8 p.m. at The Music Center at Strathmore and Friday, November 30, 2012 and Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 8pm at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Maestro Venzago and Ms. Gabettas recording of Elgars Cello Concerto (released on the RCA label in 2010) earned praise from music critics. Also on the program are Liszts lively Mephisto Waltz No. 1 and Francks Symphony in D Minor. Please see below for complete program details. Elgars Cello Concerto is one of the most significant works in the cello repertoire. Elgar completed his cello concerto in 1919, just after the first World War, following a four year period in which he withdrew from composing almost entirely. The ravages of the War depressed him and it is in this stirring work that he bids a touching adieu to Englands lost era of simplicity and peace. Award-winning Argentinean cellist Sol Gabetta makes her BSO debut with this monumental work. Grammophone Magazine praised her recording of this work, “Sol Gabetta’s Elgar Concerto is one of the best around, a heartfelt, tonally rounded performance, intimate and wholly at one with Mario Venzago’s generally subtle handling of the orchestral score…Hers is a softly spoken presence, especially beautiful in those infinitely sad modulations that fall towards the end of the piece.” Liszts musical retelling of Hungarian poet Nikolaus Lenaus account of the Faust legend so scandalized Liszts early listeners that it was banned in London following its premiere in 1861. As the Faust legend goes, the title character sold his soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for enduring youth, wisdom and pleasure. In the Mephisto Waltz No. 1, or Dance at the Village Inn, Faust and Mephistopheles stumble upon a peasants wedding. Finding the music lacking, Mephistopheles takes a violin from one of the musicians. While he plays, Faust flirts with the innkeepers daughter. Mephistopheles music becomes increasingly erotic as Faust lures her away for their woodland tryst.
