Nito Mestre:" At least I like to come once a year to Spain "
Sui Generis's voice in their first English tour' to the lung "
name is Carlos Alberto Mestre but everyone knows him as Nito Mestre. Releasing albums for 40 years and is one of the masters of Argentine rock. Not in vain 'Mestre' means teacher in Catalan, and his grandfather was from Tarragona.
His latest book is "Flowers in Nashville" (Acqua Records 2009), a CD 4 tracks dedicated to women and the DVD of the concert he did in September 2007 with the Symphony Orchestra San Juan and university choir where he reviews 13 tracks of his career with Sui Generis, The Unknown Always and its 30 years of solo career.
may seem impossible, this April has made its first English tour (Gran Canaria, Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca), in acoustic format, accompanied only by Ernesto Salgueiro (guitars, vocals and musical direction) and Fernando Pugliese (piano) and under the advertising slogan of "Nito Mestre canta Sui Géneris”.
Y es que Nito siempre será la carismática y mágica voz de Sui Géneris , el dúo que formó en 1971 con su amigo de secundaria Charly García . Una formación a medio camino entre el folk y el rock progresivo, con una mística y una poesía onírica única. Un hito de la música popular latinoamericana de los últimos 40 años. Posiblemente, a este lado del Atlántico, sólo serían comparables con lo que hacían, en esos mismos años, unos Ia - Batiste , en Cataluña, o las Vainica Doble In Castile. But in any case would be comparable to these groups in terms of popular success, as the Sui Generis connected with the aspirations of Argentina's youth as a few groups have succeeded.
Sui Generis, in his short but successful career (1972-1975), were the leading exponent of the second generation of rock in Castilian of Argentina after Manal (1967-1971), Los Gatos ( 1967-1972) and Almond (1967-1980). Despite his beginnings were not easy. The group had serious problems to release their first album, "Life" (1972), because the producers did not trust the feasibility a group of folk with classic rock. The band completed bassist Rinaldo Rafanelli and drummer Juan Rodríguez .
On April 14, Songbooks had the pleasure of interviewing Nito With just a couple of hours for his debut at the Berlin Cabaret of Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba venue is also suitable for acoustic concerts. The talk was held during a break from the sound check, when Nito sent for the flute, and while taking tea.
What is the directory you've chosen for your first English tour?
The repertoire we do is the whole race. Here was a little bit more emphasis on issues of Sui Generis it is the first time I've been ... So it is, but actually do a tour of the whole race and not in chronological order but in order of how we put together the show . We also touched issues latest production is "Flowers in Nashville" , the four tracks we played two or three issues ... not because Del is a symphonic concert symphonic whole career ... I mean, there are many issues which are the 'symphony' that we played, of course, because they are issues of Sui ... The repertoire is varied ...
show on this tour accompanied only by a guitarist and a pianist Why?
This is training where you can show off and play something very comfortable, very practical to play ... We sing all three, we know long time ago ... But I have a band, sometimes with bass and drums ... Usually we are playing with this formation. I like playing acoustic. As a singer it's nice to have so ... The dynamic people change a lot when no band or not ... When you play and you play no band ... Instead here is like that sometimes have some history ... This way is more 'tête à tête', more communication with people and I like ...
"Winter Confessions" with the Orquestra Sinfónica de San Juan (Argentina).
concert in Barcelona was not going to miss (and there were) 'classics' as "Song for my death" (Charly Garcia song that he composed as a result of their service experiences conscription), "Scratches on the rocks" , "Confessions of winter "rock'n'roll or" Mrs. Jones (a theme that played live in Spain Los Rodríguez). But neither their themes lacked most successful solo album, "20/10" (1981), as "Today I threw old leaves" .
"'20 / 10 's your favorite book?
is one of the albums that I like and that was kind of symbolic ... It is one of those albums that actually came out all plump, all perfectly fine, came at the right time, etc ... But the latter is one of which I like also because it is a combination of four very emotive issues chose ... And part of that is devoted to women ... There is a song dedicated to my mother who is called Flowers in March ', another dedicated to my wife is' My dear ',' Naomi 'which talks about a chance encounter with a woman, and' A kiss on the nose "which Berra is Adrian, a young Argentine composer. But also in "Flowers in Nashville" the advantage is that it has the DVD with Symphony Orchestra and then combined my career 'classic' and the last four new tracks and that's a nice combination ... Of course it is also 'pure colors ' (1999) also a previous record of which play an issue today.
"Today I threw old leaves" in Prima Rock Festival '81.
Nito is a musician prone to do duets with many musicians from all over Latin America. For several years he lived in Chile and worked with guitarist Eduardo Gatti . More recently, in 2009, has performed with to Silvina Garre, the singer who popularized Rosario in Argentina "It forces the machine" of the Catalan-Argentine Gato Pérez.
The duets with Silvina Garre are duets we did while I continued with my career or my career is not interrupted to do this, but it was circumstantial ... "Duet? Pending a duet with Leon Gieco to record an album. We have sung together for a long time. A part of Porsuigieco , we have made together themes for my records and records of it, and we are seeing in the future we could re-record these issues and complete with a new topic now. Then ... Others? In particular, no, I have a forecast ... We did a duet with Andrés Cepeda of Colombia and in a moment, we do duets with other musicians and songwriters in Latin America, but is seen later.
Who if you do things in the coming months will be with his old friend Leon Gieco . The relationship between the two comes from far away. Nito, Leon, Charly Garcia, Raul Porchetto and Rosa Maria Osorio Porsuigieco formed just after the separation of Sui Generis. Porsuigieco was a progressive rock band Sui more electric than just released a self-titled album in 1976.
has been written recently that you could do new things with Porsuigieco. What's that?
Look ... He approached a photographer and filmmaker of our age, who has taken many photos of that time and offered us shoot some interviews and some gigs and have a little mystique of how the group was armed, but only for a film ... To film a documentary because we could not say that's a feature ... The character is called Ruben Andon ... The other day we were reunited with Leo (IPCC) and Raul (Porchetto) ... We had a little meeting before I came here, to Spain, and we thought it was funny because we were on a lunch and we started to tell stories ... Then I sent an email Rubén (Andon) and I said 'is very nice so we started to count' ... Charly (Garcia) not yet speak, but Charlie is not going to lose because you never want to get out of anything (and smiles) ...
But you have raised record new material?
No, no ... We started this but you never know what can happen ... So far we have recorded many anecdotes, cute things in the conversation ... After the party will come to play and see what can happen ...
Nito, we understand in June-July is expected to enter the studio to record a new album ...
We are planning to go to record new tracks but not of Rock ... There is a song by Maria Elena Walsh , but we are still looking for the issues so that progress not yet too ...
Apparently, in the coming months Nito can give us any surprises.
In 2000, Nito and Charly met for the first and only time the Sui Generis. From that meeting came "Symphonies for Teens a massive tour and an album, half live, half studio, called " Yes - Behind the walls " (2001).
"Ten years after this massive tour is possible further meeting of the Sui Generis?
Neither affirm or discard ... Charly because we take the phenomenon but did not have ... as you might say ... have not spoken. We talked for two years or so ago, when he was wrong, and we were about to ... Then diluted and we're at it ... But to say we're in that I mean that hung in the air, he forgot and went their with their projects ...
How can it be that your record is not known in Spain?
Look ... Not raised ... One thing is that the record labels that were previously sent and is not raised ... Perhaps we now for the first time and without label support, no support whatsoever, if not more or less a lung ... I had been thinking for a long time, but now I've made the decision because we have been able to co-produce with people here ... And let us once and for all because above all a personal taste. So not measured by the number of people because people are coming in moderation, but it gives me great pleasure to come to Spain ... At least I like to come once a year and grow to the extent that, of course, my age allows ... You know that record companies rely more on younger kids, obviously, and I will come to support me now ...
Nito's work is known mainly in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay but surprisingly it has not crossed the Atlantic.
Sony had a record of mine that called "Years" (compilation, 2002) , which is double that once you edit asked (outside Argentina) ... But as I am not the edited Sony artist but did not support him ... I just took him out in some places and not in Spain ... Well, that complicates things a bit ... And besides, do not come you hired producers to come, if you have to come and do a lung ...
I commented that now seems a good time for folk in Spain, which currently number 1 in sales is a group called Manel. "Manel?" Nito asks. Not known, but heads to his wife saying "We must seize Manel disk." And finally comes the flute and we expected to end the conversation.
Later, on stage, Nito showed that the magic of his songs is still intact. Were two-hour concert to an audience mostly in Argentina and Latin America's sometimes ahead to sing.
Nito, Ernesto and Fernando 'stripped' 25 greatest songs of the best Latin American folk-rock, until that time, Barcelona was unable to listen live. We hope that soon the public Barcelona has a new opportunity to discover one of the best folk-rock repertoire of Argentina.

Overall, the voice and the spirituality of Bob Marley - as part of Rastafarian culture and has had to introduce him on many occasions as the apostle of cannabis - have become in many disadvantaged various parts of the world.
This is, for example, in Africa, as we remember the musicians Alpha Blondy and Tiken Jah Fakoli, a continent where Bob Marley reggae forecast to return to his source of inspiration.
