Chapinlandia - Marimba Music of Guatemala
Anclados en siglos de tradición, la Marimba Chapinlandia y su música expresan el sonido “moderno” de la marimba que se desarrolló alrededor del siglo XX. Sus pegajosas melodías, armonías sentimentales y danzas rítmicas, son el sello característico del instrumento nacional de Guatemala, que trae consigo desde la colonia raíces africanas, indígenas y ladinas de Centro América. Tanto para las fiestas importantes como para los encuentros sociales, la marimba expresa todo el sentimiento guatemalteco como ninguna otra música. Show more Show less

Pendant 15 ans, Jacques Douai et Térèse Palau ont rêvé de former un ballet national.Au début, ils ont formé un groupe composé de seulement quatre couples de danseurs, groupe avec lequel ils ont passé dix ans. Durant cette période ils ont donné des milliers de représentations, aidés en cela par le rayonnement en France comme à l’étranger de Jacques Douai, star de la chanson à l’époque.Encouragés par le ministère des Affaires Culturelles et le secrétariat de la Jeunesse et des Sports, ils ont finalement fondé le Ballet National des danses françaises et après plusieurs mois d’auditions et de répétitions, ont formé l’ensemble présent sur le CD avec soixante-quinze chanteurs et danseurs.Le ballet national français a un répertoire étendu de chansons et danses régionales présenté au public, région par région, tous les deux ou trois ans. Sur cet enregistrement, nous présentons les chansons et danses originaires de trois régions majeures : la Vendée, la Bretagne et Normandie ainsi que la Provence.
