José
Galindo
He studied his music develop in several workshops in Castellón. Soon he discovered his passion for the color music (Jazz, Blues, funky, etc...) and the sound of the harmonica. He began to investigate the technique of this instrument in a self taught way leaning in old methods, because didn't exist any conservatory or class that could get attention to the harmonica world. |
After more 16 years dedicated exclusively to the harmonica
he knows and maintains regular contact with national and American harmonica
players to share experiences and continue advancing in the study of
the technique of this instrument as versatile as unknown.
His musical trajectory has carried out performances in
numerous concerts all over this country like; Sala
Clamores (Madrid), Sala Siroco
(Madrid),
El Corral de las Cigüeñas (Cáceres),
Sala Folky (Valladolid), Matisse
(Valencia),
Club Roxy (Valencia), etc.. and
in numerous occasions in our unforgettable Café
del Mar. In 1997 his band was included in the program INJUVE (Ministry
of Work) in the section Jazz-Blues (only five bands were selected of
among the whole country), with they carried out a tour for numerous
places form this national territory, the jury was compound among others
for the program´s director and critic "Jazz por que si" by Radio 3 RNE Juan Carlos
Cifuentes "Cifu." As study and live musician he has collaborated for those
diverse formations of diverse styles, from the Jazz to New Age, Fussion,
etc... so much for National bands as European.
Project COLUBRARIA:
I have "always" felt in debt with the Islands, a very
strong linking exists between Columbretes islands and my family, where
we have enjoyed indescribable moments. For two years most of my time
like musician has been overturned in the composition of a album dedicated
to our Islands. I have had the immense luck to find musician and friends
you tune to this project that they have helped me in an altruistic way,
being contagious to encourage seeing like the compositions took form
. There is a part of each one of them in this project." Musical analysis:
The musical analysis of Colubraria is the execution of rhythms
and traditional melodies in our folclore, as the "Pasodoble",
the "Marcha
Mora"
or the "Rumba", with an instrument soloist like the harmonica
associated to other musicians. At first sight can be a crash, every
time it is made but when recognizing the sound of the harmonica a similarity
to the Dolçaina (folk flute). The musicians that have helped to me, they endorse the
quality of this project are: Jesus Gimeno: Battery and percussion, Diego Barbera:
Bass Fretless, Michel Llorens: Accordion, Ximo Muñoz: Mandolin and Brouzouki,
Manolo Frame: Spanish guitar and Palms, Joaquín Pinilla: Electroacustic
Guitar, Leticia Casañ: Cello, José Ramírez: Palms, Paco Vila: Trombone,
Juan Carlos Tomas: Technical producer and Acoustic Guitar.
