| Jose "Pepe" Aponte and Roberto Spassiano. |
Thanks to my good friend Roberto Spassiano who lives in the United States, accordion like us, comes to mind the figure of "Pepe Aponte." Every weekend, Friday or Saturday when there were many parties in our beloved Lima, we drove to Breña in search of this great artist. Came to us through the recommendation of the popular Oscar Cornejo Purilla, "Papi", the drummer I had more time as a starter in each of those memorable gatherings in private homes or clubs provincial capital. Today we remember him with great affection.
had good style and was regarded in the world of "goats" as one of the ranked. He meant, trained to serve with your battery all kinds of rhythms. From classic rock and Creole musical style that would require their splendor. It was a Friday and it was a "teenager tone." First I must clarify that this kind of festival, was celebrated in a familiar way. Attending from the grandparents, uncles and the whole family in general. Friends and guests who had to submit to the new lady.
Gradually this celebration with the emergence of new rhythms, is made exclusively of young and often had to compete with the sound equipment of the house and the recordings of the boys. In a way, we played only for the elderly. Also we managed to bring a tape player and the current rates for youth. With Pepe Aponte, Carlos Monteodoro, great guitarist and Carlos Casares, son of the great Argentine singer, vocals, live in the following anecdote.
In somehow the whole was composed of older people. Cumbias and salsa dancing by the participants left and of course folk music was a matter for the uncles and grandparents of the family moved the skeleton. There was a sound of very low power and where the teenagers tried some of their songs. Nothing happened but we could see the dissatisfaction on their faces. Pepe Aponte, adept at accompanying musicians, I suggested improvising melodies or chords in the rhythm that would escort us.
Indeed. It was a devilish rock and rall and on that "track" of Pepe, both Carlos Monteodoro and who played the accordion-mail, we started to use computer effects, whether they "gua gua", "tremolo" and others. Our sound was loud and that trio was immersed in a wave "hippie" pure inspiration and animation screams Casares. All youth throbbed with the beat. The young lady's birthday we threw kisses blown. Pepe Aponte, showed his versatility of large rock.
We played for 30 minutes and the applause rang out at the end of youth. One of them came and told us we repeated the theme. We looked at the musicians and the truth is that no one remembered anything. Santana was time and returned to the attack with "Oye como va", "to beat the clock" and other successes of our repertoire. The truth is that we save one bash through the rock rhythm imposed Jose "Pepe" APONTE. A greeting to him who lives in USA and we hope you read this review and we write. Thanks.
