Funk Aspirin, the new song by Cimafunk and the godfather of funk, George Clinton, was included this Saturday in the playlist of The New York Times along with Living in the Heart of Love, by The Rolling Stones.

The music critic and journalist specializing in jazz and improvised music in that American newspaper, Giovanni Russonello, stated that in Funk Aspirin “Cimafunk puts a strong pinch of classical Afro-Cuban rhythm in his throbbing dance music.”

He notes that the Cuban musician “has also been a long-time American funk fan, and recently he sought out George Clinton, an idol of his since childhood, to have fun and record.”

The result of the collaboration between the Cuban and Dr. Funkestein, as Clinton is known, is Funk Aspirin, “a bilingual hymn to the healing powers of rhythm, taken at medium tempo with a fresh and fluid rhythm and recorded in Clinton’s home studio in Tallahassee, Florida, where the music video was also filmed, “the critic noted.

Also included in the playlist were Summer of Love, by Shawn Mendes and Tainy; Living in the Heart of Love, by The Rolling Stones; Walking at a Downtown Pace, by Parquet Courts; That’s The Way I Like It ’, by Lily Konigsberg; and Dogma, by Circuit des Yeux.

Cimafunk premiered the video for his song Funk Aspirin on August 18 and in it he presents the godfather of the genre, the American singer and songwriter George Clinton, who with a hard rhythm shows all his authority in funk so that young people can put “their bodies under pressure”.

Both musicians draw ancestral connections between Afro-Cuban music and the rhythms of the tradition of black funk, and invite you to lower your stress with a healing rhythm like an aspirin.

“What you wear is funky (Shake it) / So that you take off stress / Don’t worry if it gives you pika pika pika (You wanna talk too) / It’s that I brought it seasoned, seasoned” (ESP: “Tú lo que llevas es funky (Shake it) / Pa’ que te quites el estrés / No te preocupes si te da pika pika pika (You wanna talk too) / Es que lo traje sazona’o, sazona’o”), he says the song.

The Cuban singer Manuel González Hernández, popularly known as Manolín El Médico de la Salsa, has sent a message to the Cuban musician and singer Alexander Abreu.

He has done it through his Facebook profile, on the occasion of the live concert that the trumpeter performed from the island with his orchestra Havana D ‘Primera. Manolín shared the publication of the live broadcast and added the following words:

“Alex Abreu, never leave Cuba, that music that you make is more important than everything and outside of Cuba you will not be able to make such good music, stay in your country with yours, with your family, with your people and with your music. Do not be intimidated or confused by any madman, whoever leaves, since leaving is his right and his choice.

Gepostet von D.J. Melao am Dienstag, 13. Oktober 2020

The words of Manolín El Médico de la Salsa to Alexander Abreu may come as a result of the statements made last May by the interpreter of A Crazy Adventure in which he said that both in Cuba and Miami “they have insisted on disappearing what best of the Cuban music of the last times “.

To support his claim, Manolín uploaded to his Facebook wall the video of an old concert of his that took place in the Almendares Park in Havana and where he appeared singing La Bola, one of his greatest hits of the 90s.

El Médico de la Salsa also spoke of the censorship that he had had to submit to both on the island and La Ciudad del Sol and argued that it was impossible for an artist to survive in such conditions.

“This video is in Havana, after 20 years of censorship of my music on radio and television. In Miami also 20 years of censorship, there is no other artist who survives in those circumstances,” he said.

After having become a father for the second time of a child with his ex-girlfriend Jenny Cáceres, now the reggaeton has been very proud through social media for the respect that has shown by one of the greatest stars of the urban Latin music.

It’s the famous Puerto Rican singer Ozuna who became a victim to one of the greatest successes of “El rey de los reparteros”, specifically the Guachineo song that was released in 2015 when Chocolate was still residing in Havana.

This has been evidenced in a video that the “Rastamemba” shared on his Instagram profile and in which we can see the Puerto Rican singing some verses of the song.

Is the love between Osmani García and Dayamí Padrón over?

They seemed to be one of the most promising and exotic Cuban couples of this year 2019, however, everything seems to indicate that the relationship between Osmani García and Dayamí Padrón has come to an end and that it was simply an episode of fleeting love.

Both the model and the singer of urban music have erased from their respective social media all evidence of what was their intense romance, leaving in the oblivion those burning videos and images in which they shared samples of affection and some other scene in the that they sparked when they shouted their unbridled passion to the four winds.

The followers of Dayamí, meanwhile, have been the first to react to the strange disappearance of the publications of their Instagram in which appeared with “La Voz” and have begun to speculate on a possible breakup of the couple.

Admirers of the girl have left some messages on her new photographs in which she appears alone with a long blonde hair among which you can read: “And Osmani Garcia?“, “I’m also a little curious because I saw a tattoo and a lot of love with Osmani now that happened “,” Did they break so fast? Or are you no longer with Osmani García? “.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcbLvngNiQ/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_loading_state_control

However, neither “El Chiquitico de Cuba” nor the finalist of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2008 have screened in this regard nor have they answered any of the questions of their fans.

Both were about to release a single and a video under the title
Lo que todos quieren (EN: What they all want), video that advanced a few months ago with a sensual fragment in which they were both out of a jacuzzi in the middle of the night.

In addition, Osmani and Dayamí surprised a large part of the Cuban community by sharing the news that they had sealed their love with tattoos of their names.

The girl was recorded in her day in the lower part of her waist the full name of the singer, accompanied by a red heart and a wolf with wings; while “La Voz” painted his girl’s name on the top of his knee next to the same drawing of the wolf, but much larger.

The relationship of Dayamí and Osmani was announced last January, but it was not until February 14, Valentine’s Day, that the model formalized her engagement with the reggaeton through a romantic post in which she He dedicated a beautiful statement.

Now, we just wait for some clarifying of the two if it is a simple distancing or if really, as the great Spanish singer Rocío Jurado said ” rompió el amor de tanto usarlo (EN: they broke the love of so much use)”.
