Coming Out of the Dark

Designed as a companion to the singer's 1991 Into The Light--World Tour concert video, this look behind the scenes in Gloria Estefan's career draws drama and urgency from her recovery following a disastrous bus accident, which crippled the Cuban-American performer even as her popularity pushed further into the pop mainstream. Produced for the video arm of her record company, Coming Out of the Dark is hardly an objective documentary, laced as it is with testimonials from executives and frankly designed as a valentine to the feisty star; when we're given an "informal" look at Estefan composing new material in her music room, there isn't a figurative hair out of place as captured through these expertly shot segments.

The story, however, is intrinsically compelling, and Estefan offers her fans glimpses into the genesis of the songs from her Into the Light album. The singer's steely resolve, which doubtless explained the speed of her recovery, is visible, too, as is her sure sense of command over recording sessions. Brief performance excerpts show her saucy style of salsa-drenched pop, as well as less satisfying stabs at boiler-plate pop-rock songs that were aimed squarely at the charts. A segment chronicling a video shoot with choreographer-turned-director Kenny Ortega reveals both the technical intricacy of shooting elaborate dance sequences and the hyperbolic coddling platinum stars can expect from their most diplomatic handlers. --Sam Sutherland

Customer Review: Re: ASAP
Does this Moves show the accicent and does it show her recovery

Ask anybody who the greatest guitar players in the history of rock music are, and youll likely get the standard answers. The big three, Clapton, Beck and Page; certainly Eddie Van Halen; maybe Stevie Ray Vaughn. The metal-heads will cite Randy Rhodes and George Lynch. These are all valid answers, but if you would put forth names like Elliot Easton and Andy Summers, you might be likely to get a blank stare in return. Too often great guitarists are overlooked simply because they lack the flash of a star like Eddie Van Halen or because they are part of a group that simply has an overabundance of talent and they tend to be moved to the background. Take Andy Summers, guitarist for the Police. Everybody knows who Sting is, and there is no doubt that he is tremendously talented, as is drummer Stewart Copeland. As part of that unit, however, Summers was often overlooked. What is so amazing about Andy Summers is not only his command of the instrument, but his overwhelming versatility. From ska to punk to reggae to straight ahead rock and roll, nothing is outside of his ability. His style has been described as minimalist, but that minimalism is a plus, and he is to be credited for not falling prey to his critics and trying to overplay to compensate for a lack of complex layers of sound. Below, in no particular order, Ive listed some of my favorite underappreciated players, and the reasons why I consider them to be great.

Elliot Easton (The Cars): Elliot Easton is probably the greatest reason for the success of The Cars. Without Eastons accessible rock guitar cutting through the synth driven Cars sound, they never would have found the mainstream acceptance that they did. Imagine the spacey pair of Ric Ocasik and Greg Hawkes playing over an equally new-wave influenced guitarist and you have a style of music that would not appeal to people on a large scale. Eastons Buddy Hollyesque sound, however, served to make The Cars commercially viable. My Best Friends Girl from their debut album is an excellent example of how Eastons contribution was essential in creating hit records for The Cars.

Warren DiMartini (Ratt): What impresses me most about DiMartini is that fact that despite being known as a speed demon who is content to throw a startling flurry of notes at the listener, is that he knows the value of a rest. Too many metal artists try to play as fast as possible, and DiMartini can keep up with the best of them, but Im more taken with the fact that on songs like Lay it Down, Wanted Man and Round and Round, its DiMartinis artful use of pauses and mutings to lend depth and character to what would otherwise be just another ripping metal tune.

Kathy Valentine (The Go-Gos/solo): The Go-Gos will never be known for stunning musicianship, but Kathy Valentines reputation suffered from being thrown together with a group of girls who were far less proficient in their playing. Not to say that the Go-Gos were not any good. Their style of music was based on catchy beats and fun lyrics, so being technically perfect was not a requirement. Unfortunately, the fact that this was an easily exploitable fault that the critics could grab a hold of, the band was unfairly criticized for being a bunch of girls who could barely play their instruments. If they had bothered to check, they would have found the Valentine was actually an experienced and talented guitarist, making the switch to bass to fill the spot with the Go-Gos. Actually, a casual listen will show that Valentines bass playing stands out more that Charlotte Caffeys or Jane Wiedlins guitar work. At times its almost melodic. Since the Go-Gos Valentine has gone solo, along with a side project called the Delpines. I would strongly urge you to check out Valentines appealing mix of rock and punk on her Light Years album.

Slash (Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver): Guns N Roses now Velvet Revolver bassist Duff McKagan once claimed that Slash had the fastest right hand Ive ever seen. While it may be argued that the left (fretting) hand is more important for a guitarist, after hearing Slash play, there can be no discounting the value of a fast right hand. Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City and Welcome to the Jungle received more radio play, but to hear one of the best examples of Slashs work, check out Mr. Brownstone on Appetite for Destruction.

Steve Steamin Clark (Def Leppard): It seems that all great artists have their demons and Steve Clark was no exception. Before alcohol claimed his life at too young an age, Steve Clark had built up a legacy of fine work that will live on. Steves gift was an ability to build spatial separation into his phrasing. It was almost as if he was playing in a huge empty amphitheater in which each note rang out perfectly and separately and yet, along with the complimentary work of bandmate Phil Colin, fit tightly together like pieces in a puzzle. The song Love Bites from the Hysteria album perfectly illustrates this point. Unlike previous member Pete Willis, Colin provided a perfect foil for Clark to play off of. Unfortunately, Def Leppard seemed to be associated more with the fact that drummer Rick Allen played with one arm, the result of a 1984 auto accident, taking some of the attention away from the fact that Clarks playing made Def Leppard one of the finest pop metal bands of the 80s.

Howard Leese (Heart): Fated to share the stage with two of the most beautiful and talented women of the rock era, Howard Leese continued to lend his creative talents to Heart long after its other founding members had departed. It was Nancy with her beautiful blond tresses that stole the spotlight, but it was Howards guitar that powered the group. Secure in the knowledge that he was a key component in Hearts driving guitar based sound, he was never bitter about the fact that his name was only recognizable amongst true fans of the group. Listen to Barracuda or Magic Man or Even it Up and you are instantly struck by the inherent coolness of the opening riffs, and his mastery of harmonic overtones is second to none.

Mick Mars (Motley Cre): Mostly thought of as a fair to middling heavy metal guitarist, Mick Mars phrasing is perfect for the Cres sound. Chunky, dirty and staccato at times, it still manages to be melodic. Upstaged by Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee and their bad-boy images, Mick stays cool and aloof behind his powerful music. Despite the darkness inherent in some of their tunes, you cannot fail to be uplifted by Mick Mars musical skills.

Really there are so many worthy players that I could go on and on, but this is just a listing of those few that have bugging me for years. Its true that people have their own tastes, and for some, these guys wouldnt even make the top 10, but it makes me feel better to have my sentiments known. If Im lucky there may be a few of you out there just a few who will say, Man, Ive been saying for years that he (or she) has never got enough credit.

GORILLAZ - LOGO - T-SHIRT

Reading piano notes is far easier than many beginning pianists think it is. Ultimately, piano note reading is simply a matter of memorization and repetition. In other words, once you learn the basics, all you have to do is put them into practice, and to do so as many times as it takes to completely internalize your note reading skills.

No doubt, you've seen what's known as the staff -- the system of five lines and four spaces upon which musical notes are organized. In music notation, at the far left of a staff you will always see a clef, which is basically a symbol that indicates how the notes on the staff should be read.

There are many different types of clefs, but fortunately for beginning pianists, the vast majority of piano music deals only with two clefs, the treble clef and the bass clef. The treble clef is usually used to notate the first few octaves to the right of Middle C, while the bass clef is usually used to notate the few octaves to the left of Middle C.

In all staffs, no matter what the clef is, successive lines and spaces represent ascending notes of the scale. For example, in the treble clef, the lowest line represents E. Thus, the space just above the lowest line represents F, the line just above that represents G, the space above that is A, and so on.

In the treble clef, which looks sort of like a backwards "S" with a few extra curly-cues thrown in, and centered on the second line up, the notes are as follows: The five lines, from bottom to top, stand for E G B D and F, while the four spaces stand for F A C and E. All beginning pianists must memorize these very early in the learning process. FACE is an easy acronym to remember, while EGBDF lends itself to a variety of mnemonic phrases, which you can make up yourself. For example, when I took my lessons, I was forced to memorize, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge."

Often, when reading music, you will see additional "lines" added above or below the staff. These are merely extensions of the staff, and follow the same succession as notes within the staff. For example, the invisible line one space below the treble clef staff -- a note that you will see very, very often -- stands for middle C as it is one space and one line below the E represented by the first line.

The bass clef, which looks like a backwards "C" with two dots around the second line from the top, has this configuration: The five lines stand for G B D F and A, while the four spaces stand for A C E and G. Again, there are many mnemonic devices to remember these, but it's always best to make up your own.

With many piano songs, especially those for beginners, the left hand plays the notes in the bass clef, while the right hand plays the notes in the treble clef. The two areas meet up at middle C, which is two notes below the lowest line in the treble clef staff, and two notes above the highest line in the bass clef staff.

Beyond this basic memorization of notes represented by lines and spaces, piano note reading also involves some knowledge of what is meant by various symbols. Most commonly you will see the symbols for sharp and flat. The symbol for sharp, which closely resembles the number symbol (#), indicates that the note which it accompanies should be raised one half step. Meanwhile, the flat symbol looks like a lower case "b," and indicates that the accompanying note should be played one half step lower. Also, once you start to learn more keys and scales, you will need to know the natural symbol, which cancels a sharp or flat is dictated by the key. Also, it's important to remember that when you see a sharp, flat, or natural symbol, that symbol remains in effect throughout the measure.

From this point on, things become more complicated. But don't sweat it. Learning how to read piano notes is a baby-step process. Try not to learn everything at once. Instead, focus on one thing at a time, and practice until it comes as easily as breathing. As always, this is the key to learning piano.

Duane Shinn is the author of the popular DVD home study course on playing piano titled "Crash Course In Exciting Piano Playing!"

Spanish schools in Argentina are very common. The reason behind it probably is that of 25 living languages in Argentina, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language with more than 350 million people speaking the language natively. It is the official language of some Latin American countries. The irony is that only Spanish speaking country outside the continents of North and South America is Spain. So, Spanish language schools in Argentina are quite many in number and people prefer learning it here too.

Learning Spanish in Argentina is always advantageous. There are many good Spanish schools in Argentina and those located in Buenos Aires the capital city have added advantages.

The capital, Buenos Aires is one of the cosmopolitan cities of Argentina. It makes the city a hub of both political, travel, cultural and entertainment connections. It goes without saying that when you are admitted in some Spanish language schools in Argentina you get an add on of spectacular scenic beauty along with the course. Spanish schools in Argentina, particularly Buenos Aires and Bariloche justify the belief. Here you will find everything from opera theatres to bars and restaurants. Happening social life outside the premises is eagerly ready to keep you occupied during the learning tenure.

Studying in Spanish language schools in Argentina is an opportunity of life time. And if you can enroll yourself in Latin Immersion School conveniently located near Buenos Aires downtown in Recoleta, there could not be anything better than that. Latin Immersion School is one of the leading Spanish schools in Argentina. It's a high profile learning institute with twelve classrooms and common places in the building. To top it they have a patio at rooftop for barbecue in summer. All the rooms have wi-fi, so you do not need to plug in your laptop or PDA phone with internet connection.

They adopt modern techniques to impart lessons. They make groups of no more than six members so that interaction with the instructor gets easier. Standard regulation of the course assigns twenty hours a week of classes leaving enough room for self study and improvisation in home.

However, unlike many Spanish schools in Argentina, Latin Immersion School emphasizes on teaching on one to one correspondence. Keeping small groups is one of the reasons. It facilitates substantial level of individual attention. With paying extra but a nominal price, students can take advantage of extra classes in Argentina as well as Chile.

Location of Latin Immersion School is spectacular. If you are a partying sort, Recoleta has restaurants, bars and discs in premise's vicinity. If you are a quiet person and enjoy your own company, then there are parks, quiet and calm custom made for you.

For usual and long weekends the nearby and faraway tourist destinations will lure you towards them. For sea lovers, there are beautiful beaches on Atlantic like Mar del Plata, some 400 kms from Buenos Aires. There are Iguazu Falls, Perito Moreno Glacier and snow capped mountain ranges.

Even few years ago Buenos Aires happened to be one among the costliest cities of the world. But with the economy crash their lifestyle has become quite reasonable. So the students of Spanish schools in Argentina now can enjoy great yet cost effective food in cosmopolitan ambience of a world class restaurant.

Buenos Aires is regarded as Latin American Paris because it boasts of Europe-like sophistication with the charm of native Latin America. Number of open air cafes, vibrant locale, happening nocturnal life with portens performing salsa and tango all night. Undoubtedly you will get all means of cosmopolitan entertainment in Buenos Aires. So other than the courses, Spanish schools in Argentina have lots more to offer.

Apart from Buenos Aires, Bariloche also has some of the great Spanish language schools in Argentina. It has a branch of Latin Immersion School too. It is their smallest school. If Buenos Aires is Paris then Bariloche is Aspen of South America. In the Andes Mountains, Bariloche is situated on lakeside. A perfect destination for ski, white water rafting, trekking and other adventurous activities add volume to the language courses offered by Latin Immersion School and other Spanish language schools in Argentina.

Latin Immersion School offers the same curriculum in all its schools in each country. So there is provision of shifting base without hampering your classes. If you prefer quieter atmosphere to pursue your Spanish classes, Bariloche is a better option for you. With a meager population of 100,000, place is serene and a perfect resort town. However, even Bariloche has not been spared of the cosmopolitan wave. Restaurants, pubs or coffee shops are increasing in number to cater locals, tourists and students coming to Spanish schools in Argentina from different parts of the globe.

There are many Spanish language schools in Argentina but the curriculum of Latin Immersion School has been planned in a way that one course week has to include overnight excursion to remote or nearby colonial countryside, tango shows, watching shows in top class theatres of the world and many more.

Sonido Amazonico!

Chicha is the name of a corn-based liquor the Incas distilled in the days before The Conquest, and the word's mysterious, boozy etymology makes it perfect for the musical style that bears its name. Chicha - the music - was spontaneously distilled during the culture clash of the '60s when the Indian population of the Peruvian Amazon blended Columbian cumbias with American rock & roll, particularly the twang heavy sound of surf music. With cheap electric instruments, Amazon Indians used the syncopated beat of cumbia as the foundation for melodies that sound to western ears like Andean folk music played on electric guitar supported by Tex-Mex style Farfisa. When the Indians moved to Lima, chicha became a thriving subgenre, but since the 70s the style has been dying out. Olivier Conan, owner of New York's Barbés nightclub and record label, discovered the music on a 2005 trip to Peru. In 2007, he put out a compilation called The Roots of Chicha. The music so captivated New York's downtown crowd that he put together Chicha Libre, a combo comprised of New York's musical scene makers, and started playing the old hits, and some new compositions, to packed houses. Part of the charm of the old chicha recordings had to do with their distorted, lo-fi approach, something that you can't match in a Manhattan recording studio. Nonetheless, Sonido Amazonico!, named after a hit by the chicha band Los Mirlos, is a sunny, upbeat collection guaranteed to bring a silly smile to your face. Vincent Douglas' plays a twangy guitar and Josh Camp plays a rare Hohner Electravox, an accordion-like instrument that sounds like a 70s Farfisa, anchor the band's timeless sound (the Electrovox is an electric hybrid; no air passes through it).

Like reggae, the chicha groove is so recognizable, and flexible, that almost any style of music can be played using it. The playing here has a lightness and humor that the originals lacked, but Chicha Libre's not making any claims about being authentic or keeping a lost tradition alive. They're playing it for kicks, and they supply plenty of 'em. ~ j. poet, All Music Guide

As many fans of music know, the lyrical parts of a song are usually the most important and integral pieces to a particular song or pieces success. Many times these words are the only part of a song that fans will remember or be able to recognize in an instant. In addition, it is common for artists to make the leap into becoming a superstar when they come out with great lyrics for their new hits. But the truth is that not every artist in the world who is selling CDs and concert tickets has great lyrics to their work, or any at all for that matter. You might be wondering, how can music be good without meaningful words, much less having no words at all? This article should help to answer that question and change the common notion that all great music must have unbelievable lyrics as well.

To start out with, it is important to realize that music is not just the songs a person can hear on a radio. In fact, the first pieces of music were almost exclusively played in a concert hall. In this setting, a group of different instruments play in unison to a conductors movements. There are no words because quite simply there doesnt need to be any. Some of the most famous musical work in the world, and oldest at that, is often played in this style. While not popular with the youth today, classical music, as it is often termed, often goes hand in hand with being upper-class. Whether this is a fair pairing or not, that is debatable. But this much is true, many people find deeper meaning and enjoy this style of music without looking for words to accompany they harmony of the instruments!

On the other hand, a popular selection at almost any night or dance club is techno music. Techno music is often generated on a computer, and combines wacky sounding drum beats and other instrumental sounds to make a song that sounds like it was electronically produced. This music has many different beats and often is extremely easy to dance to. While it can have words, it is more common for techno songs to be without any human voices, or to use them sparingly. Even with the absence of almost any words at all, however, techno music remains a popular choice on any dance floor and it would be hard to find a club that doesnt play at least one song. Indeed there are even some popular techno artists, whose main musical talents lie in creating new beats and remixing past billboard toppers!

All in all, it should be fairly obvious by now that a song doesnt have to have lyrics to be considered worth listening to. Many different types and genres of music embedded in our society today are, in fact, found without any words at all. Whether it be rich classical music that your grandparents listen to, or fast-moving techno music that you dance to, words are not as important as they may seem initially.
