The jazz magazine Downbeat created a feature for their last page called the Blindfold test, in which a writer would play selected tracks for a guest musician who had to try to identify the artist from just listening or at least analize the piece.
That’s what Anamaria Sayre and I did this week. Or at least we tried.
Though she broke the rules of the game, we still had a good time and a nice chat about music from all over Latin America.
Artists and songs featured in this episode:
• Cheo, “Amor A Primera Vista”
• babas tutsipop, “antonio banderas” and “cursi”
• Pedazo De Carne Con Ojo, “Sirens” and “Tiralo”
• Ryuichi Sakamoto “DOLPHINS”
• Frank Zappa “While You Were Art II”
• Pink Pablo, “ALL I DREAM,” “OJOS AZUL” and “HORSES IN HEAVEN”
• Wampi, “La Última” ft. Leoni Torres
• Wampi, “La Diferencia” ft. Orlenis 22K, Ernesto Loso
• Silvana Estrada, “Lila Alelí”
