NTSC/Region 0. Volume Two of Two. The great Rub‚n Blades - singer, Salsa pioneer, musical pan-Latinist, actor, activist, politician, lawyer - in a richly packed concert that displays both his extraordinary musical versatility and his solid grounding in the music of his youth. From his breakout in the early `70's with Willie Col¢n and Hector Lavoe, to his own innovations in blending all forms of Latin music (and many non-Latin forms as well), to his activism both in music and real-life politics, Rub‚n Blades has walked a unique path. This concert offers strong testament to his awesome originality and innate authenticity. Irresistible Salsa is a hallmark of the concert. Rub‚n is a powerful narrator and interpreter in a Folk style. The band can mix advanced Jazz soloing with the grittiest call-and-response singing. And even in the more romantic and plaintive songs, percussion is at the forefront. For one song, Rub‚n even goes so far as to feature bagpiper Eric Rigler, mixing the Celtic and the African for a truly global sound. Immortal. 2007.
