Gran impacto sensorial el que dejan los
ritmos de
Tambuco, sin duda el mejor grupo de percusiones de este y otros
territorios.
Su música es tan potente, tan expansiva, tan exacta como los
latidos
del corazón. Hay fuerza, intuición y conocimiento de
causa
en este conjunto de percusionistas de talla internacional. Su
actuación
dejó el escenario de Bellas Artes cargado de energía.

On this occasion Kronos Quartet was joined
by
Mexico City percussion ensemble Tambuco. Very impressive!

Kronos were at their best working with
Tambuco Percussion
Ensemble from Mexico City, which added a thrusting integrity to the
string
quartet's music. Tambuco’s kettle drums, marimba and other mallet
instruments
were used on Silvestre Revueltas' "Sensemaya" and the encores,
Margarita
Lecuona's "Tabu" and Perez Prado's "Mambo en sax" -- though the Kronos
members appeared to react with extra enthusiasm and exactness in the
collaborative
effort. Tambuco gave the music backbone, aiding the festive nature of
the
tunes that were already plenty perky to start.

Pero las delicias del concierto del
miércoles
en el Teatro de la Ciudad tuvieron, además de la calidad
indubitable
del Kronos, una parte de verdadera delectación musical en la
presentación
de un agrupamiento camerístico de primer nivel mundial: el
Cuarteto
Tambuco, que en ese caso sí acertó en sus calificativos
David
Harrington, líder del Kronos, al anunciarlos: ''Please
welcome
this terrific and wonderful and fantastic musicians:
Tambuco".
Esos sí son chidos.

With the highest artistry, Tambuco
illustrated a
thousand hyper-inventive ways to create unorthodox sounds. They even
drew
pitches out of seemingly non-pitch instruments. Don't miss the
repeat
tonight at the Terrace Theater.
The music explored the outer dimensions of percussive sound, and the Cuarteto worked wonders with myriad instruments and even the musicians' bodies (hands, wrists, fingertips, voices). Through all these multi-soundscapes, the Mexicans' exciting approach never sacrificed the music's aesthetic meaning to their unmistakable technical virtuosity. Cecelia Porter, The Washington Post |

Great virtuosity and theatricality of
Tambuco. Put
Ben-Dor and her enthusiasms together with players of this caliber
and Santa Barbara could really produce a world-class festival..

Percussões vindas do México
encantaram
Culturgest
Um concerto memorável é o mínimo que se pode dizer da actuação do quarteto mexicano. Criatividade à solta é o que se pode dizer dos Tambuco, que tratam os instrumentos de percussão com a dignidade de um “Stradivarius” (foi Gallardo quem garantiu não existir qualquer diferença entre eles). Ao virtuosismo de Tambuco, somavam-se pequenos momentos de ironia, que viriam a culminar nessa peça genial que é A dois, de Tim Rescala (Brasil). João Miguel Tavares, Diario de Noticias, Lisboa |
