In Colombia, and most likely through Latin America, there’s a very popular genre of music that’s often labeled “Música para planchar”: Music for ironing. It’s romantic, very melodramatic soap opera kind of music. Here’s the Cheap Landscape’s attempt at it!
Live in L.A.’s Japanese National Museum. Ruben Samama-bass, Joe Saylor-drums. August 2008
The first gig of The Cheap Landscape Trio (we had a couple as quartet before). With Ruben Samama on bass and Joe Saylor on drums. Feb. 5, 2008 at Rose in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Through most of 2009 I had a steady gig every Friday at Terraza, a nice cozy bar in Queens (I am still going the first Friday of every month). This is a Colombian Atlantic Coast standard Bullerengue. With Franco Pinna on drums, and Andrés Rotmistrovsky on bass. I am out of frame through most of the video! but it was a performance I enjoyed. Sometime bet. December 2009 and Jan 2010
Trio with Lucía Pulido and Stomu Takeishi at the VI encuentro of Colombian musicians in NY. At the Highline Ballroom, June 2009
