Dream Quartet: Ana Carolina, Claudia Leitte, Daniela Mercury and Ivete Sangalo

Hello everyone. This is women's month history. I am doing dream duets, trios and quartets as well. This is will be dedicated to women around the world. This edition is a quartet of four great Brazilian female artists. 

Eu amo estos artistas muito. Eu quiero tudo o mundo por saber uma coisa dos artistas. Elas sao gran e elas tem muito talento. Elas são as boas cantoras e muitas pessoas sabem suas canções. Quando entendo suas cancaos, sentigo muito gozo em meu coração. Quem são las cantoras?

I am speaking about Ana Carolina, Claudia Leitte, Daniela Mercury and Ivete Sangalo. The latter three have sung together in many performances. Recently Claudia and Ivette performed at the Brazilian carnival. It was highly successful and fans were very ecstatic about the performance. When I saw that performance, I was thinking it would be nice if another place could get festival where we could get Claudia and Ivete with two more singers with them. 

It would be a relax setting with romantic songs in pleasures for all the fans who love their voices. I would Ana Carolina and Daniela Mercury. It can be done a dancing manner or a slow manner however these singers would like to be done. 

Here are four songs that I have found that these four singers would fit it without worry. 

OK here are the following songs

Resta: Ana Carolina with Chiara Civello (Studio Version) 

Tô Samba da Vida: Daniela Mercury (Studio Version)

Não me compares: Ivete Sangalo with Alejandro Sanz (Studio Version)

Corazón: Claudia Leitte with Ivete Sangalo (Live Version)

These four songs exemplify perfect balances between slow and more romantic style songs while you also have a Samba influenced songs. Also you have good news with these ladies. Ana is very good with guitar and Claudia can also play the guitar if she is in the mood with Ivete very good at drumming. I will show one photo of Ivete Sangalo playing drums.

I think if this quartet were to happen, it would need to happen in a festival where tons of fans would be there to witness. Or if this quartet were to happen in a studio, the producers need to make sure that these four ladies are comfortable. That is important to make sure that this quartet is successful. Don't forget, they are the big stars of Brazil and they have busy lives, if people want them to work well, then do these steps. 

Joe Arroyo tribute

Welcome to my blog today as a I am going to make a tribute to one great artist. Not from Africa or America although those are the things I am familiar with. I am doing a artist from South America area. 

I am speaking of one artist that I have grown to love and enjoy his music. I am speaking of Joe Arroyo. He has had a rich history making great influence in his country Colombia. Colombian music was big with Joe Arroyo involved. 

Joe Arroyo had humble beginnings. He was discovered by a person name Julio. He ended up in the group called Fruko y sus Tesos. He would perform with this band for 10 years. 

But in 1981, Joe Arroyo left that to begin his solo career and had his back group known as La Verdad which means The truth. 

From there, Joe Arroyo would release so many classic songs like Rebelión","La noche" "Tania", "El Ausente" "En Barranquilla me Quedo", "Musa", "Bam Bam" and many others. Joe Arroyo would be a big artist in Colombia in 1980s and 1990s. 

But as always every artist has their downfall. For Arroyo it was beginning after 2000. He was often not well health wise and often he would not show up at shows. Some people alleged this was due to his possible smoking habits he had when he was younger. Despite he was still making some good music and his fans remained loyal to him. In fact in a few months before his death, Joe Arroyo was doing some heavy shows for his fans. He died on July 26, 2011. 

Joe Arroyo was a artist that was actually pretty international while still sticking to his sound. He managed to mix Salsa music with cumbla, porro, soca, compas, and zouk with other African sounds together. Which makes sense since some of his songs sound Congolese to me. 

When I have been listening to Joe Arroyo, I feel like I am listening to a Congolese musician with a different sound and language. 

Joe Arroyo is one artist that left a mark in his country and throughout South America. It is incredible that I did not listen to his music a young child and I am glad to say that I know some of his music and he has impressed me a lot. I enjoy his music. His music has increased my interest in salsa music. Though I prefer African and American music more but I can enjoy some Salsa music. One man that I like the most out of all them is Joe Arroyo. 

Rip Joe Arroyo.
