Fiebre [Live]

Amazon.com
Named after a fictional radio station at the southernmost tip of Spain, Radio Tarifa ostensibly would broadcast to the Iberian Peninsula as well as the southern shores of the Mediterranean. Proving that the distance between flamenco and Arabic music, electric and ancient instruments, and African and pop rhythms aren't all that far apart, the aptly named band is a crossroads of musics, cultures and eras. Strong musicianship pulled it together on its three studio efforts, and does so again here on the group's first live album, which was recorded in 2002. While fans are treated to two new songs, the older ones are a revelation as well, offering up fresh versions of favorites like "Ronda de Sanabria," "La Mosca," and "Tangos del Agujero." Indeed, the band seems to be playing to the crowd and for each other throughout, which is the best reason to document any group in the live setting. –-Tad Hendrickson

Product Description
Radio Tarifa celebrated its tenth anniversary with the 2004 Latin Grammy-nominated Fiebre (Fever), a live album recoreded during a remarkable concert in Toronto, Canada. The album - which The Evening Standard calls "raw, exhilarating, summery and sexy" - captures the dynamism of the live show and takes us on a musical journey spanning the last ten years of Radio Tarifa. The record marks the band's fourth Nonesuch/World circuit release.

Astoundingly passionate CD! Just beautiful........2007-03-24

I LOVE this CD!! Every track is fantastic! If I were rich, I'd buy a thousand copies and start passing them out on street corners so that more people would know how wonderful this album is.

Radio Tarifa is tremendously talented, with a unique sound. They combine flamenco sounds of Southern Spain with Arabic sounds from Northern Africa. They even use ancient arabic instruments.

This particular album was recorded live (in Canada, I think) and it makes me wish I had been there to hear it. If you've ever been at a live performance where the tension is thick, and the electricity tangible...well, this album is one of those.

This album makes me want to close my eyes and whirl. It makes me feel alive. My senses are heightened. My skin tingles. My mind races. My heart beats louder.

What more can I say? If you like this type of sound, you will love this album. Beautiful. Electric.

Celebratory passion.......2007-02-27

Recorded in concert and covering music from their previous discs this disc reveals the passion of their music, hence the title "Fiebre" or fever(hot, on fire). Radio Tarifa employs other musicians for their live sets but the sound pretty much remains the same. The result is a fusion delight that features Middle Eastern sounds mixing seemlessly with Spanish guitar for a nice wolrd music treat. The opening track "Jote Bereber" exemplifies this fusion as Spanish folk music is mixed with Moroccan rhythms. Lead singer Benjamin Escoriza breaks the extended jam session with a sorrowful and painful tale of love. The blending of Middle Eastern ad Spanish cultures is further presented with "Elli Yeddi Hag Ennas" that utilizes old(Precursor to Rai) Algerian music as passionate vocals and sax lively up the set. There are many great songs here including "Oye China" that is more of a traditional flamenco song with Latin American influences, the title track from one of their previous CD's entitled "Cruzando el Rio" features flamenco tango and wild flute,"La Mosca" that features Bereber folk instrumental parts to a traditional Granada folk song with multi meanings and the old Sephardic-Jewish melodies found in "Cancion Sefardi" which has French Rennaisance instrumental parts over Benjamins grief ridden vocals. If you like world music fusion or flamenco inspired music than you will love this disc. I have their previous discs that are studio produced and this is a nice addition to the Radio Tarifa collection. The live versions are at times more interesting than the studio versions, at other times vice versa but anyway you look at it, this disc is a winner. The accompanying booklet has all the lyrics in Spanish and English and is very informative regarding the origins, influences and inspiration for each song. Great world music for that musical voyage.

Authenticity pounded by theater .......2006-12-09

I own all four Radio Tarifa CDs, but I must admit that I don't like the live CD "Fiebre" at all. I listened to it 3-4 times and then put it away. Though other reviewers term it "exciting", to me it sounded like the individual musicians were trying too hard to "intensify" their solos for the sake of the on-stage performance.

I find that one of the beauties of live flamenco concerts - of which RT's style is a unquestionably a spinoff - is that the music is astoundingly "controlled", even the most fiery of solos. There's no Jimi Hendrix, playing with his teeth. In fact, the only "show-off" flamenco guitarist I've ever seen was a German. He's a great guitar player, but analytical, and someone who had clearly mastered his craft through study - definitely not "a natural". He compensated by hopping around on his chair while playing, but his "vibrancy" looked like the result of fire ants in his underpants, not hereditary soul.

In most of the solos in the Fiebre concert, I got the impression the musicians were "showing off" - appealing to the audience rather than focussing on their music - which is the antithesis of what I like.

If you want to try Radio Tarifa, buy Rumba Argelina. It's great, but it demonstrates the problem created by a fantastic first album: the group has a hard time living up to expectations. Imagine if Sergeant Pepper had been the Beatles' first!

Beautiful.......2006-11-21

There songs are mesmerizing (but not in a flaky new-age sound way). There are strong Flamenco sounds intertwined with Middle Eastern and other world influences. There voices sound good and the instrumentals sound good too (especially the various percussion and world instruments), so it's not like some other artists that are only good at the singing or only good at the instruments.

Exciting, intense fusion of musics from India to Spain.......2006-03-23

Exciting, intense. Audience participation just kicks it up a notch. More room for long improvisations than on a studio album, but most remains tight. An ever-varying fusion of Indian, Middle Eastern, Balkan, Arabic, Spanish, and rock idioms. Each track highlights a few, layering them or placing each in a distinct instrument. The fusion never homogenizes; rather, it juxtaposes in a way that reveals underlying connections. Tracks often break from one distinct style to another, and sometimes return or cycle-another form of effective juxtaposition. Vocal is typically world-weary. Drone woodwinds can deepen this; tight polyrhythms can throw it in sharp contrast. Many different elements offer lots of opportunities for varying textures, which the band exploits well. Precise notes on specific origins of each track mainly point to Spanish sources; sounds much more hybrid to me. [56:51]

Solamente Otro Exito De La Diva De Puerto Rico.......2003-05-16

Tengo este disco desde 1994 y hasta el sol de hoy lo disfruto como el primer dia que lo compre. Es unos de esos discos que estan desapareciendo de las tiendas de discos y que vale la pena pagar la cantidad pedida. Todos los 10 temas son exelentes y vale la pena repetirlo. Las fotos incluidas en la produccion Fiebre De Luna puedes ver la belleza de Yolandita Monge y creo que ella esconde su edad exelentemente bien. La llegue a ver en las fiestas patronales en Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

Canciones que llegan profundo.......2001-10-01

¡Qué casualidad! La letra, la energía y la fuerza de Yolandita para cantar estas canciones relatan la historia de la mayoría de mis amores. Cantar con Yolandita es como volver a enamorarse, volver a sentir y volver a vivir. /// What a coincidence! The lyrics, the energy and force that Yolandita uses to sing these songs it's like re-telling the story of most of my love relationships. To sing with Yolandita is like fall in love again, feel again and live again.
