Liner Notes
With music we celebrate important events in our lives. We celebrate the birth of Franck Muller Replica
a child, anniversaries, dance parties, we mourn, earn money, laugh, cry, work,
and sing. It's a human expression, and like everything that's human we don't see
it in the air, but in certain concrete human conditions. Like humans,
discographic productions have a place of birth, date, and special circumstances
that make them reproduce, make history, and take on lives of their own.
Proof of that is Son Mundano, in which we exposed all of those experiences lived by our artist in the '70's. In Nelson's own words:
"When I went to Cuba as part of the Fania All-Stars group I had the privilege of meeting Isaac Ubiedo and Nino Rivera, two of my Tres playing idols. On my second trip, thanks to musicologist Rene Lopez, I was able to spend a few days in Nino's house. When I left he gave me his Tres with the commitment of integrating it to new dimensions bounding with it our musical-spiritual friendship between Cuba and Puerto Rico."
This experience has been the most transcendental in Nelson's
life, and led the inspiration for Son Mundano. Nelson Gonzalez is a
virtuoso musician who has exposed the rhythms of "El Son" and his Tres,
with great respect to Cuban roots, yet adding his peculiar Caribbean style.
Dissar Records is proud to present for your consideration Nelson Gonzalez and Son
Mundano, because "We are All of the Same Clay, Same Earth, and one
Heart."
Danny Rivera and Nilsa Guitierrez
