Merry Christmas!

25/12/2023

 
Merry Christmas! As a present to you all, I’ve made Supersalsanova (2019) free to listen on SoundCloud. Boom Boom!
https://soundcloud.com/roryduffymusic/sets/supersalsanova
I had a lot of fun in my 20s writing and arranging these Latin-Brazilian mashups and I have included the lyrics so you can sing along.
May the stars shine brightly on you this festive season!

La agrupación Diáspora presenta su debut Super Salsa Nova

29/3/2019

 
La agrupación Diáspora presenta su debut Supersalsanova. Creados en el 2009, Inglaterra, sus componentes -12 músicos en escena- provienen de una gran variedad de corrientes musicales.

El Jazz, el bossa nova y la salsa, así como el pop, se encuentran en un disco lleno de sorpresas e influencias.
Picture
El disco empieza con Time Is Running Out, una descarga que tiende puentes con la musica popular brasileña, con la vocalización de Rea Qunta. Golden Section presenta el solo de flauta de Rory Duffy. Místico, luego de una introducción de saxofón, se convierte en una cadenciosa salsa. Notes In Twist Dizzy A coquetea con la composición Night In Tunisia de Gillespie con la actuación destacada de Alejandro Postigo en la parte vocal y Nick Walters y George Wrench en los solos de trompeta y trombón, respectivamente. Move To The Music es una descarga que invita al baile.

Tracks: Time Is Running Out; Golden Section; Mistico; Notes In Twist Dizzy A; Moonlight; Conundrum; Sign Of Love; Summertime; Superstarlight; Move To The Music; Lullaby; Moondance

Integrantes: Rea Carla Qunta – vocales; Alejandro Postigo – vocales; Rory Duffy – saxofon alto, flauta y piano; Delfina Caputo – vocales; Soso Lakatos – piano; William McGee – bajo; Dave Simpson timbales; Harry Drummer – congas; Lilli Elina – percusion, vocales y piano; Oliver Syrus – saxofon tenor; George Wrench – trombon; Tom Harrison – trompeta

Beyond the blue horizon,

And it’s okay.

Hold tight.

​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-11-lullaby

In dying light, I see you smiling down at me, from above.
And all the while, I feel your beauty shine on me.
And I know,
All is well.
All the turmoil that I had inside has gone away.
And peaceful nights,
When I’m lying in your arms, once more, are here to stay.
Stay with me now, lying in your arms.
There’s no-where I’d rather be.
Stay here with me.
We can sing a lullaby.
- Lyrics by Alyss McBirney Music

If you move to the music,
Then you’ll live to a hundred,
And there’s no explanation to be found.
And there’s no satisfaction,
Like the perfect number,
To discover everything around.

All it takes is just one day,
To fall in love and find yourself at the start of the end.

Oh, your daddy’s rich,
And your ma is good looking.
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-07-sign-of-love

This love,
Written in the stars,
From Venus to Mars.
Reflected in the lake.
In the palm of my hand,
And in the circles in the sand.
Across the land,
What would I do?
Who would I be without you?
How would I ever learn the meaning of this life,
Without you by my side?

Snippet 06 Conundrum

18/3/2019

 
​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-06-conundrum

I know that we have a problem yet you don’t seem to care,
Cryptic conundrum that is getting us nowhere.
And when the temperature rises and the fire starts flare,
Going ‘round in circles, now really.
Why can’t we just be friends?
We can make amends.
Friends, just like the river bends,
Friends, ‘til the story ends,
And goes round and round again,
Back where it all began,
Conundrum!

Snippet 05 Moonlight

17/3/2019

 
​¡A la luz de la luna mi hijo!

Diáspora Supersalsanova touches you on 27th March and we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-05-moonlight

When we’re lost in song and dance and strange romance,
This could be our last ever chance,
To lose ourselves in the mysteries of the night,
Before we surrender to the morning light.
Ever since that moment of that wild exotic dance,
I remember the lessons that I learned,
That there is no escaping what you feel inside,
When the moonlight touches you tonight.

Snippet 04 Notes In Twist-Dizzy-A

16/3/2019

 
​Lips fail to create the wail of Diáspora's Supersalsanova launching 27th March. Over here we're re-harmonising some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-04-notes-in-twist-dizzy-a

The tune is the same tune we all knew,
It flows in its angular flight,
But the harmony is a bit twisted,
Never did it sound so right.

​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-03-mistico

Once upon a time in a faraway land,
There lived a strange enchanted man.
Carving his symbols in the sand, drinking water from his cupped hands,
And contemplating stars up in the sky.

There’s no one else who makes me feel so blue,
When you are so far outside my view.

Snippet 01 Time is Running Out

​​In the countdown to Diáspora Supersalsanova launching 27th March, we're releasing some sneak preview snippets over on our SoundCloud.

https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-01-time-is-running-out

Time is running out.
There’s no room for doubt.
Live like there is no tomorrow.
Forget about the sorrow.
And just dance with me.
The way it’s meant to be.
Let the music be your guiding force.
Let the rhythm drive away your lonely thoughts.
And I’ll be with you, until the very end.
‘Cause it’s true, our time is running out.
