Balearic

La primera vez que oí el termino Balearic fue alla en el año 90 cuando se produjo al 2do verano del amor, la revolucion house, Ibiza, el Extasis de buena calidad. etc. Todo era fresco, groovy y aun no padeciamos los infames compilados de Cafe Del Mar.

Hoy en dia el adjetivo se volvió mas amplio y abstracto y se aplica a la musica que, me animo a decir, sugiere un estado de relax similar al de estar cerca del mar en una hermosa playa. Si escuchan un tema, lo combinan mentalmenbte con el sonido de las olas y las gaviotas y el resultado es aceptable, es probable que el tema sea balearic. Seguramente hay mejores definiciones, :)

2 canciones balearic:



La primera es de 1989. Un clasico de las pistas de todo el mundo: Sueño Latino. Dato curioso: los responsables de este tema son tambien conocidos como Righeira y son autores de los mega hits "Vamos a la playa" y "No tengo dinero"!!

Sueño Latino - Sueño Latino



El 2do, y mas actual, es un re edit hecho por Quiet Village Project, un duo formado Joel Martin y el genial Matt Edwards tambien conocido por sus alias Radioslave y Rekid. El sello se llama Whatever We Want y sus releases no son nada faciles de conseguir. De lo mejor del 2006. Seguiremos informando acerca del sello en futuros posts, mantengan la sintonía.

Quiet Village Project - Too High To Move

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The first time I've heard the term Balearic applied to music, was in 1990 when the 2nd summer of love occurred. The house revolution, Ibiza, the good quality E, etc. All was fresh, groovy and, fortunately, we still no had the infamous Café Del Mar compilations.

Nowadays the adjective became wider and more abstract and applies to the kind of music that takes you to a relaxed state similar to that you have when you’re close to the edge in a beautiful beach. In other words, if you listen to a track, you mix it mentally with the sound of the waves and the seagulls and the result is acceptable, then maybe you have a Balearic one. There are better "balearic" definitions around I know… :)

2 balearic tunes:

The first one is from 1989. It’s a classic in the dance floors from all around the World: Sueño Latino. Curious fact: the authors of this track are also known as Righeira and under this alias they produced the huge hits “Vamos a la Playa” and “No tengo Dinero”.

The second, and more actual, one is a re edit done by Quiet Village Project, a duo formed by Joel Martin and the great Matt Edwards AKA Radioslave and Rekid. The label is called Whatever We Want and its releases are not easy to get.We think WWW is one of the best labels of 2006 and we’ll keep writing about it in future posts. Stay tuned.
