Our Rincon Chileno( Chilean Corner) was aways full of peple
Our Cueca, our national dance, was never absent in our concert. below our dancers: Ruby Ceron and her father Don Raul who had been a Pinochet prisoner in the concentration camp at the very cold Dawson isle.
Carlos Arredondo and Galvarino Ceron
 Danza de la Araucaria
The Monkey puzzle tree is native to Chile
and Argentina and it was the inspiration for my instrumental song
heard here. Scotland is full of araucarias.
La guitarra Siguio Tocando Compañero Victor Jara
To write the lyrics of this song I used the
names of some of Victor Jara's most well known songs. I composed
the music thinking in Victor Jara's guitar. Victor was killed in
1973 by the Pinochet's regime; however, he is still alive in my
heart. Victor is one of my musical and political heroes.
Carlos Arredondo
Desierto Verde
Back in the 80s, I learned that body parts
from poor children were removed and bought for transplant in many
countries belonging to the so called First World. I want to shooooooooooooouuuuuuuutttttttt!
Inventos
Inventions and industrial disasters lead us
to expect a terrible outcome for the human race and our planet:
American Atom bomb/ Hiroshima/Nagasaki/ Japan/1945. Bhopal in India/
1984/ worst industrial disaster/Amnesty International estimated
22 thousand deaths.

Galvarino Ceron
El marabino
By Venezuelan
composer Antonio Lauro
The piece is beautifully played by Galvarino
Cerón Carrasco I tried to follow him by playing the Venezuelan
instrument called Cuatro.
Le Jazz Hot
Le Jazz Hot
Here we have a group of musicians enjoying
their playing whilst astonishing me with their skills.
Martyn Bennet
Martyn Benett
I was lucky to
have in my Rincon Chileno as a guest a young musician who would
become one of the most accomplished Scottish pipers of his generation.
I am still angry that he died so young. His music is alive and ringing
in all my being.
Martyn and Margaret Bennet
Martyn Bennet's
mother has always been a cultural ambassador of the highland people.
In this recording Margaret sings to us a lovely Gaelic song accompanied
by Martyn.
The Witches Tuesday
A fine
Edinburgh based "a Capella group" made of four accomplished
singers from England an one from Italy. Their repertoire was international
focussing on feminist themes.
Silvie
We are the Witches
Charles Boyle and Dominic Ashworth
These two fine musicians came all the way
from Glasgow to play at the Rincon Chileno. Charles was from Scotland
and Dominic from Canada. Today Dominic is a top UK guitar player
touring and recording for Carol Kidd. Look for Dominic's CD: "Portraits"
Lynsay Porteus
on mouth organ
Jews' Harp
Somebody said that this good friend of mine,
a rare multi-instrumentalist, is probably the most well known traditional
Twanger (Jew's harper) from Scotland. I confirm what is said of
him. Nora, Lindsay's mother, a friend of Lady Elgin, a direct relative
of Lord Cochrane, our Chilean hero, always celebrated her son sense
of humour and his unique approach to music. I have always celebrated
Lindsay musicianship and I will add that he is also a great collector
of musical instruments and many other interesting things.
Mae Shaw
Jim Sutherland and Jack Evans
Belfast
May, from Ireland, is a political singer and
like very much what she sings. She is accompanied here by Jim Sutherland
on percussion and Jack Evan on guitar. The three of them helped
me, with their talent, to make my first record Debo Cantar Bonito.
