<b><i>Greetings everybody, we're going to start the new year with a story that really meant a lot to us: a couple of months ago we were told about a music group that appeared on the BBC tv show "Later with Jools Holland", using a DG cajon. </i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Following a quick search on Youtube, two beautiful young ladies appeared before my eyes, a duo consisting of piano and cajon, performing a music charged with emotional intensity. </i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Sure enough, there was a cajon of ours, but it featured an old logo, the type we used from our beginnings in 2003 up until 2006.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>The young age of the two girls, who appeared to be still in their teens, made me really curious about how and when they got hold of that cajon, because according to my calculations, they should have got it when they were ten years old, more or less.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>This puzzlement turned into a surprise that nearly drove me to tears: I googled the name of the duo, Ibeyi, and I found out that those two girls happened to be the twin daughters of our beloved and much missed Miguel "Angà" Dìaz, one of the greatest Cuban percussionists of all times, who died at only 45 years of age.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>I was lucky enough to meet him, and to befriend him.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>When I was starting making cajons professionally, he had just moved to Barcelona.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>He took part to the yearly Cajon Seminar, which at that time was held in Castelldefels, and an immediate empathy arised between us.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Since I was putting together a documentary about the history of the cajon, I talked to him about the project.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>I already had quite a lot of material about Peruvian and Flamenco cajon, but the Cuban side of it was missing, and he proposed to help me out.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Not only he agreed to let me record a duet that he played on that occasion with Piraña, but he also promised me that he would record a duo with Cuban pianist ace Omar Sosa, especially for the project that I was carrying on.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Tht same night he invited me to his place, together with my friend Simone Padovani, who just couldn't believe it, and we spent a great time drinking rhum, and listening to incredible recordings of his time with Irakere and Steve Coleman, he told us about his life, and about his record, "Echumingua" that was in the process of being released.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>So that was it, Angà was a generous and honest man, so a few months later, I recorded him and Omar Sosa, for my documentary The Ways of the Cajon, and everything turned out amazing...I sent him customized cajons, according to his needs, and everytime we met, it was a hugs and laughs affair, but he also liked to talk about deep issues, such as the meaning of music and life, because he had a spiritual vibe that always drove him.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Yes, Angà was a man with a big soul, the proof is the sound of his drums; just listen to that, many consider him the most important Latin percussionist of his generation, together with Giovanni Hidalgo.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>He left us too early, suddenly on a summer day of 2006; his worn out heart failed him, in the country house he'd just moved in, where he planned to build his head quarters.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>And those twin daughters, that he talked to me about, and whom I met briefly during the memorial concert at the New Morning in Paris that I attended to homage Angà, were now travelling around the world playing fantastic music charged with emotions.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Because these girls, Lisa Kainde and Naomi, born in Paris, not only sung the memory of their beloved father, but also that of their elder sister, Yanira, the first daughter of Angà, who tragically died of natural causes a few years after her father.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>I immediately looked for them on the Net, came across their FB page, and I learned from their mother Maya, that the children basically started playing music when their father passed away: they went to Barcelona to give him their last greeting, and there Naomi started playing a cajón, for the first time in her life, maybe to feel closer to her dad.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>So this is the solution of the riddle of the old cajon and the young lady percussionist.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>We all wish them success, because we truly love their music, it reaches directly our hearts and souls.</i></b></div>

<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Muy buenas a todos, vamos a empezar el 2015 con una historia que nos ha conmovido: hace unos meses nos señalaron un grupo que llevaba un cajón de nuestra marca, que acababa de pasar por la famosa transmisión de la BBC inglesa "Later with Jools Holland".</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Después de una rápida busqueda por Youtube, aparecieron estas dos bellisimas chicas, un duo formado por piano y cajón, que interpretaban una música cargada de intensidad emocionál.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
En primer plano, un cajón de nuestra marca, pero con un logo antiguo, de estos que usabamos en nuestros comienzos, allá por el 2003, y hasta el 2006.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
La joven edad de las chicas, que no aparentaban ni veinte años, me creaba una curiosidad por saber donde y cuando consiguieron ese cajón, pues según mis calculos, deberían haberlo adquirido con 10 años de edad, más o menos.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
La duda se convirtió en una sorpresa que me hizo saltar las lagrimas: introduje el nombre del duo, Ibeyi, en Google, y descubrí que esas chicas, no eran otras que las hijas gemelas de nuestro queridísimo y desafortunado Miguel "Angá" Díaz, uno de los más grandes percusionistas cubanos de todos los tiempos, que falleció con solo 45 años.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Yo tuve la suerte de conocerle y de convertirme en su amigo; él estaba viviendo en Barcelona, justo cuando yo empezaba a fabricar cajones profesionalmente.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Nos conocimos en el Seminario de Cajón que en aquellos tiempos se celebraba en Castelldefels, y empezó una simpatía inmediata.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Yo estaba intentando documentar la historia del Cajón mediante un audiovisual, y ya tenía un buen materiál recopilado, de cajoneros peruanos y flamencos, la parte cubana del asunto me faltaba, y él se propuso ayudarme.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
No solamente accedió a dejarme grabar un dueto de percusión que hizo con el Piraña en aquella ocasión, sino que me prometió que grabaría un tema musicál en duo con el pianista Omar Sosa para el proyecto que estaba llevando al cabo.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Esa noche me invitó a su casa, junto con mi amigo Simone Padovani, que no se lo podía creer, bebimos ron, y escuchamos grabaciones increibles de su epoca con Irakere y Steve Coleman, nos habló de su vida, y de su propio disco que estaba a punto de salir: Echumingua.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Pues así fue, Angá era un hombre generoso y de palabra, algunos meses después le grabé a duo con Omar Sosa, tocando el cajón para mi documentál, y todo salió perfecto...yo le pasaba cajones personalizados, siguiendo sus indicaciones, y cada vez que nos veíamos, eran abrazos y risas, pero también conversaciones espirituales, sobre el sentido de la música, de la vida.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Angá era un hombre con mucha alma, y su sonido es prueba de ello, muchos lo consideran, junto con Giovanni Hidalgo, el mejor percusionista latino de su generación.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Nos dejó de repente, un día de verano de 2006, su corazón fatigado le falló, en la masía de campo a la que acababa de mudarse, donde planeaba hacer su cuartel general...</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Y esas niñas gemelas, de las cuales me habìa hablado, y a las que yo conocí brevemente en Paris, cuando fuí a homenajear la figura de Angá en un concierto memorial en el New Morning, estaban ahora viajando por el mundo, tocando una música llena de emociones, vibrante.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Porqué estas chicas, Lisa Kainde y Naomi, nacidas en Paris, no solamente cantaban el recuerdo de su querido padre, sino también el de su hermana mayor, Yanira, la primera hija de Angá, que también falleció tragicamente por causas naturales, pocos años después de su padre.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
En seguida las busqué, siempre através de internet, y aprendí de su madre Maya, que las niñas practicamente empezaron a tocar cuando murió Angá: vinieron a Barcelona a darle el ultimo saludo, y en concreto Naomi cogió el cajón de su padre y se puso a tocarlo aquel mismo día, quizás para sentirse más cerca de él.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Así queda explicada la historia del viejo cajón y de la joven percusionista.</div>
<div style="color: #151822; font: 14.0px Helvetica; line-height: 19.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Les deseamos mucho éxito, porqué su musica nos encanta y nos llega directamente al corazón y al alma.</div>

Un nuevo artista se une a la familia DG: Kike Terrón, de Madrid, es uno de los percusionistas más destacados de la escena española, y un verdadero especialista del cajón.<br />
A pesar de su joven edad, tiene un curriculum excepcionál, habiendose curtido con grandes figuras del cante como Carmen Linares, o de la guitarra, como J.M. Cañizares, y en el Ballet Nacionál de España.<br />
Y no solo eso, pues ha sido requerido por grandes percusionistas como Bandolero, y aparece junto a Piraña en el documentál de Javier Limón, El Viaje del Cajón.<br />
Además es el cajonero preferido de Manu Masaedo, con el que suele tocar en directo.<br />
En fin, un músico de músicos, un fuera de serie que nos dará mucha inspiración y valor añadido a lo que hacemos.<br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Llevaba ya un tiempo querendo escribir sobre el último disco de Paco de Lucía, cuya publicación fué postuma a su muerte.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Este trabajo, que se ha vuelto en el testamento del Artista, se anunciaba como un evento especiál para muchos, y más aún para nosotros, porqué sabiamos que nuestro endorser Paquito González había sido convocado para grabar las percusiones.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Aquello significaba un punto de llegada enorme para Paquito, el coronamiento de su impresionante carrera, que le ha llevado a tocar con prácticamente todos los artistas destacados del Flamenco.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Ya había coincidido con el más grande, tocó en las alegrías de Miguel Poveda "Serafino", pero ahora iba a grabar en su disco!</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Desde otro punto de vista, para nosotros también significaba un punto de llegada simbólico, pues fue en gran parte sobre la escucha de los discos de Paco que formamos nuestra idea de sonido de cajón, fue nuestra primera y más importante referencia.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Poder escuchar un disco de Paco sabiendo que aquel cajón que sonaba era uno de los nuestros, es como recibir un Oscar, un Nobel y un Grammy en una única solución!</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Paquito fue a las sesiones con un modelo Maestral, posiblemente el más originál de nuestro catálogo, el que patentamos escribiendo de nuestro puño los dibujos y las reivindicaciones y por esto estabamos aún más ilusionados.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Pero la muerte de Paco nos cogió totalmente desprevenidos, así que la salida del disco acabó tomando un significado distinto al que estabamos preparados.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Es imposible ahora escucharlo sin un fondo de melancolía.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Paquito toca en cuatro de los ocho temas que componen el disco, las tres bulerías y la zambra que canta Parrita.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>Como siempre, su toque elegante y sensible adorna las composiciones de una forma impecable, que el Maestro apreció mucho.</i></b></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<b><i>El sonido del cajón tiene una calidad de "ambiente directo", pues el productor Isidro Muñoz decidió grabarlo principalmente desde la tapa delantera, logrando así un efecto que se distancia bastante de las tendencias generales.</i></b></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I had been wanting to write for a while about Paco de Lucia's last record, which publication happened posthumous to his death.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
This work ended up being the Artist's legacy, and was expected by many as a special event, even more so by us, because we knew that our endorser Paquito González had been summoned to record percussion on it.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
This meant a huge goal for Paquito, the crowning of his impressive carreer, which brought him alongside practically all the important figures of Flamenco.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
He had already crossed paths with the greatest, when he played on Miguel Poveda's Alegrias "Serafino", but now he was going to play on his record!</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
From another point of view, for us it also meant a symbolic achievement, given that our very idea of cajón was formed by endless hours of listening to Paco's records, he was our first and most important reference.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Being able to listen to a record of Paco's knowing that that cajón sound came from one of our instruments, is like being awarded an Oscar, a Nobel and a Grammy all rolled into one!</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Paquito went to the sessions with a Maestral model, probably our most original out of the catalogue, the one that we patented writing the drawings and the claims with our own hands, and for ths reason we were even more happy about that.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
But Paco's sudden death took us completely by surprise, so the publication of the record ended up taking a different meaning to what we were prepared to.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
It is impossible to listen to it now with an underlying melancholic mood.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Paquito plays on four of the eight tracks that make the record, the three Bulerias and the Zambra sung by Parrita.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
As always, his elegant and sensitive playing complements impeccably each composition, and the Maestro really appreciated that.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
The sound of the cajón has a real "live room" quality, since producer Isidro Muñoz decided to record it mainly from the front plate, thus achieving an effect that differs from the general trend.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">

<b>Lamentamos una nueva perdida importante para el mundo del cajón: el músico y actor Rafael Santa Cruz falleció de un paro cardiaco en su casa en Lima, con solo 53 años.<br />Rafael fue uno de los más destacados embajadores del cajón peruano en el mundo; además de su faceta musicál, era un able comunicador, tanto con la palabra como con la pluma.<br />Escribiò libros y articulos sobre el origen y la historia de la música afro-peruana, y especialmente del cajón, y fue el creador y promotor del Festivál del Cajón en Lima.<br />Su libro "El Caj</b><b>ón Afro Peruano" es uno de los trabajos con más información sobre los cajoneadores peruanos, recopilando estilos y hechos sobre los antiguos maestros como Gancho Arciniega, Pititi</b><b>, Chocolate, Caitro Soto...</b><br />
<b>Personalmente, tuve la suerte de conocerlo en el verano de 2009, en Madrid; Rafael era una persona dotada de carisma naturál, y de una espontaneidad que le hacìan querer por todo el mundo.<br />Él me manifestó aprecio y simpatía: fue un estimador del documentál que producí, incluso me invitó a participar a la primera edición del festivál para presentarlo, pero no pude atender a causa de graves problemas familiares.<br />Ahora más que nunca lamento no haber tenido la oportunidad de conocer más a fondo este amable caballero.<br />Adiós compadre...</b><br />

<br />
We are sorry to announce another big loss for the world of the cajón: musician and actor<br />
Rafael Santa Cruz passed away at his home in Lima, due to a heart attack, he was only 53.<br />
Rafael was one of the most important ambassadors for the Peruvian cajón in the world: beside his musical activity, he was also a skilful communicator, both with his word and his writing.<br />
He wrote a book, and many articles about the origin and the history of Afro Peruvian music, especially the cajón, and he created and managed the Cajón Festival in Lima.<br />
His book "El Cajón Afro Peruano" is one of the most informative publications about the subject, collecting styles and tales from the old Masters, like Gancho Arciniega, Chocolate, Pititi, Caitro Soto... <br />
Personally, I was lucky to have met him during the summer of 2009, in Madrid; Rafael was gifted with a strong natural charisma, and he was so spontaneous that everybody that met him had to like him.<br />
He was appreciative and nice towards me: he liked the documentary that I produced, and he even invited me to take part to the first edition of the festival in order to present it to the public, but I was unable to go, due to serious family problems at the time.<br />
Now, more than ever, I am sorry to have missed the chance to know better this great gentleman.<br />
So long, my friend...cajonDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866856761456065876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589822096426127851.post-55538641068702756302014-05-05T15:52:00.000+02:002014-05-05T15:52:00.005+02:00NAMM 2014 REPORTWe just uploaded a new video on YT, about our recent journey to the US, for the annual NAMM fair, the biggest music manufacturers event in the industry.<br />

<br />
This morning Paco de Lucía, the Maestro, the greatest, passed away.<br />
Words are superfluous, we just want to say that we learned a lot with his music.<br />
His sound, his message had become so familiar to us that it feels like we lost a very close friend.<br />

<br />
The main news: we patented a new cajon pedal that hits on the side and a special cajon that goes with it, and then found out that the same pedal could also be used for the front panel, so it was like "make an invention, get one free!".<br />
The patent was made together with Leiva Percussion, to strenghten our bonds with a company that we like and that we work well with.<br />
Because we're nice guys, really...we have many friends :) one of them, Manu Masaedo, was a revelation in 2013.<br />
We knew he was a world class percussionist and drummer, but we also discovered that he is a hell of a singer and songwriter too!!!<br />
Therefore, we decided to back him up and help him producing his first record, which is going to come out really soon.<br />
We did this with another great friend of ours, a wizard of sound engineering, Kiko Caballero.<br />
He recorded all the Cajon Flamenco dvd, so we knew him very well, plus, he happens to be very good friend with Manu, so we hit it really well together.<br />
The record is coming out soon, so, people get ready!cajonDGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866856761456065876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2589822096426127851.post-6016765212646056722012-12-26T12:20:00.004+01:002012-12-26T12:20:58.273+01:00Siroco on US "Drummie" reader's poll<br />

We have been very busy at work, so I didn't have much time to update this page in the last couple of months, but here we are with a lot of new videos.<br />
Most of them were recorded in Barcelona with Manuel Masaedo playing buleria beats on many of our models, and Kiko Caballero in the control room.<br />
I am very pleased with the result, Manuel is a hell of a player, I hope you will enjoy them.<br />
To top them up, here's the official promotional video for the Siroco cajón: Paquito González sent me a great percussion track with a battery of overlayed cajons and a very nice "singing" solo.<br />
I hope you don't mind the intro...it's a bit of a joke, but perhaps I was influenced by the Olympic fever coming on.<br />

<b><i>Estoy muy contento con el resultado, Manuel es un percusionista fenomenál, espero que os gusten.</i></b><br />
<b><i>La guinda es el video promocionál del cajón Siroco: Paquito González me obsequió con un temazo de percusión, una batucada de cajones y un solo que "canta".</i></b><br />
<b><i>Espero que me dejeis pasar la intro del video; va un poco de broma, puede que me haya llevado este clima post-futbolero y pre-olimpico...</i></b><br />

Estamos en luto por la gran perdida de Manuel Vàsquez Goyoneche, conocido como Mangüé.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Descendiente directo de grandes figuras de la música afroperuana como Porfirio y Abelardo Vásquez, ha sido uno de los más destacados percusionistas de su generación.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Yo no tuve la gran suerte de conocerle directamente, pero sí el privilegio de incluirlo en el documentál Los Caminos del Cajón.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Times; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
En aquel episodio, grabado en video y audio por Aremi Macedo, aparece tocando el Checo, la Cajita, y bailando un inolvidable Zapateo junto a Maria Goyoneche, Cotito, Carlitos Medrano y Mario Arguedas a la guitarra.</div>

Quiero compartirlo con más gente posible para que quede en nuestras memorias su increible sentido.</div>

The great thing about it is that it was our Maestral model, that has just had its patent extended into an application for international validity.<br />
2011 finishes with another great new: we finally secured a distribution deal in the USA with a company named Big Bang distribution, and we will be at 2012 NAMM fair in Los Angeles.<br />
Thanks everybody for their support, happy new year!<br />
