La Marga ~~~ Latinoamerican Jazz
La
Marga trio was formed in 1999 by Damian Vernis (bass), Leandro Bulacio (piano)
and Facundo Ferreira (drums and percussion). The music played by them can be
described as "Latin American jazz", which contains rhythms from Argentina,
Cuba, Peru and Brazil. These rhythms are interpreted in own songs and jazz standards,
always with a modern jazz concept.
The
trio recorded its first c.d. in October 1999. In this production there were
some invited musicians as Nora Sarmoria, Beto Satragni, Cesar Franov, Eduardo
Avena, Hubert Reyes, Turco Mokad, Yeye Lopez, Cacho Tejera and Gustavo Suarez.
In
2002 La Marga produces its second independent cd named "Los Tambores me
Llaman", which includes versions of Pore-Pore (Hermeto Pascoal), Manteca
(Pozo - Gillespie), Maturana(Leguizamon-Castilla), and Footprints (Wayne Shorter),and
some own songs in which it can be pointed out a "samba" ~~~ Partido
Alto composed by Damian Vernis, and a "Milongon" composed by Leandro
Bulacio
