Bryan reacts to and talks about his thoughts on La poderosa muerte - Los Jaivas en Machu Picchu ORIGINAL VIDEO // • La poderosa muerte - L... ALL LINKS // linktr.ee/criticalreactions
Welcome to the Jaivas Universe....!!! This theme is a masterpiece from Latin America to the world. This group is on another level... It belongs to another Universe. The musical quality, how they integrate folk instruments with modern instruments... It's impressive how they combine different musical styles (classical music, rock, folk), changes of harmonies, introductions, emotions... they are unique...!!
I saw this band at Carnegie Hall NYC back in the 80’s …. They performed this album and many of their then present tunes… The New York Times gave them a great review although the Times critic didn’t know their history,,,,
Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. This song is the musical expression of a series of poems by the Chilean Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda, whose core is the lightness of life, and how the cost of beauty in this case was the suffering of thousands of lives. The entire album is a unique and rich fusion mix of progressive rock with ancient rhythms and instruments. In the full version, the songs are presented by another Nobel Prize winner, the Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa, which confirms this work as the literal top masterpiece of rock in Spanish. The band is still active from 1963 to date, with a couple of deceased but whose replacements are up to the task and have always managed to preserve their ancestral strength and psychedelic essence. Greetings from 🗿Chile🇨🇱
I do remember these guys from the previous track you heard, and I think this one was even better. Definitely shades of 70s prog, but apparently these guys were around back then so they would've been contemporaries with bands like Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson. Just such good pacing on this and so many interesting, exciting, and dramatic sections. I actually read Neruda's Canto General (The Heights of Macchu Picchu is the second canto), which is an absolute masterpiece of Western literature, even read in translation (which is what I did). So awesome that a band decided to put such a great poem to music. Would be interesting to read it along with the music and see how they tried to express the ideas musically. You touch on some of that in your own analysis, which was really insightful. Themes kinda remind me of Yeats's Meru, which is one of my favorite poems: Civilisation is hooped together, brought Under a rule, under the semblance of peace By manifold illusion; but man's life is thought, And he, despite his terror, cannot cease Ravening through century after century, Ravening, raging, and uprooting that he may come Into the desolation of reality: Egypt and Greece, good-bye, and good-bye, Rome! Hermits upon Mount Meru or Everest, Caverned in night under the drifted snow, Or where that snow and winter's dreadful blast Beat down upon their naked bodies, know That day bring round the night, that before dawn His glory and his monuments are gone.
On point comment and it’s fantastic that you could get into the heart of the poem, which informs the epic vibe of the music and gives it a point beyond the amazing musicianship.
When I heard "Sube a nacer conmigo, hermano" IRise to be born with me, brother) felt they didn't created the music for that poem but they "found" it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9OsLIi2YgAQ.html (the song begins in 1:33)
I've always thought that the abrupt ending of the song, that sort of explosion that silences the otherwise ongoing development of a marching track, is a metaphor for the abrupt end of the industrious Inca empire under the gunpowder of the conquistadors.
Te aviso te cuento que el 28 de junio se estrena para toda latinoamérica a través de la cadena HBO max el documental: "Todos Juntos" con la vida y obra de "Los Jaivas".
Los Jaivas son de otro planeta, inigualables clase magistral de músicos, el universo juntó a estos 5 genios musicales para deleitarnos por toda la eternidad.👑👑👑👑👑
That's a really cool song I love how new and old, conquers and conquered gets together in a almost disordered mix through old instruments from old a new world and then both has to surrender to the newer and loudest electric sounds. But this song makes a lot more sense when it's played within his full conceptual album.
Que lo disfrutó yo también me di cuenta. Pero yo también tenía curiosidad por entender lo que él está diciendo y como yo no entiendo el inglés oral (el escrito si que lo entiendo perfectamente) he usado la función de reconocimiento de voz de Google Traductor que ha generado un texto bastante comprensible. Ha empezado así: Me intriga un poco porque es una especie de finalidad, pero también hay una pérdida cíclica implícita que la canción no terminó, así que decir que no sabíamos que el final musical es solo que lo que se estaba reproduciendo fue ahogado únicamente por este sobrenatural. El tono que terminó en un sonido de parche de tambor muy grande me recordó a un timbal, acabo de obtener esta profundidad en la nota, no lo desvanecí y, por supuesto, las imágenes se estaban desarrollando tan lejos que la mayor parte de la imagen era simplemente negra, aludiendo a algunos de los temas de la muerte y la permanencia Dentro de la impermanencia, así que sé que hay tantas cosas realmente geniales sucediendo aquí sin que yo sepa realmente la letra o el poema que se tomaron de solo obtener el tema introductorio del comentario, hay algo ideas realmente interesantes y sí, me encanta, hay una ambigüedad en la marca de tiempo, por lo general cuando se trata de cosas como esa.
The wind instruments used by this group are Trutruka, tarkas , zampoña, quena and sometimes they add ocarina. Those special and different instrument try to represent the sound of the wind blowing in the Andean Range. Thank you for give us a great and complete reaction.
Los Jaivas, latinoamericanistas totales,en su música además de Rock y la Sicodelia del teclado Moog encontrarás percusión de Cueca en la base batería- bajo ( nuestro baile nacional) instrumentos como la Trutruca instrumento de viento de nuestra cultura original Mapuche que aparece interpretada por el baterista Gabriel Parra, puedes encontrar además, ritmos andinos nortinos ( Perú y Bolivia ) con sonoridad oriental ( chinese music influences ) malambos ritmo tradicional Argentino y Joropo Venezolano...Los Jaivas un orgullo latinoamericano !!!
Hi! I am Felipe from Santiago de Chile. I am proud that you can appreciate a band like the Jaivas, which is the most famous progressive rock band in Chile. I hope you can analyze Tarka y ocarina and Corre que te pillo (that song has a Santana sound) I subscribed to your wonderful channel, greetings
You have a new subscriber! Dude, thank you for reacting and analysing this beautiful masterpiece. It makes me proud of being Chilean and I'm happy that you can appreciate this kind of music.
Very cool! I recently discovered that the Bolivian folkloric fusion band WARA used to be a progressive rock band in the 1970's. I don't have a favorite yet, but you could compare "El Inca" with the famous "illimani".
Thanks for the reaction video. As many, I highly recommend Tarka y Ocarina, along with basically anything from the Obras de Violeta Parra, which takes songs from one of Chile’s best singer-songwriters and turn them into their most progressive rock influenced album
Me gustó mucho tu reacción. You could react to "La vida mágica ay si!!!", "Debajo de las higueras", "En la cumbre de un cerro", "Pregón para iluminarse" CLASICS!!! 🎼🎶🎵🎤🇨🇱🍷🤟🐟
The powerful death What was man? In which part of his open conversation between the grocery stores and the whistles in which of his metal movements did the indestructible live, the everlasting, life? All faded away while waiting for their death Their short daily death and their shattering fate of each day was like a black goblet they drank while trembling. Then I climbed the ladder of the Stone then I climbed the ladder of the Stone among the awful tangle of the lost jungles to you, Macchu Picchu. High City of rising Stones Finally dwelling of the one who did not hide the terrestrial Things in the sleeping apparels In you, like two parallel lines the cradle of the Lightning and man rocked in the wind of thorns Stone mother, foam of the Condors high reef of the human dawn. When the man of the Colour of clay became clay and when the Little eyelids closed. Full of Rough walls, populated with Castles and when the whole man tangled up in his hole accuracy was raised The high place of human dawn the highest vessel that contained silence a life of Stone after so many lives.
Hello!!! It's amazing to watch someone who enjoys music the way you do... great reaction!!! Please react to Tarka y Okarina audio version from the same group. I know you're going to appreciate it for sure...send you hugs from Chile 🇨🇱
I'm Chilean and been a ...Huge fan since I was 10 ? Now I'm 47.Los Jaivas ...in my opinion...or at least I kinda think of them as the " Pink Floyd "...? of S.America !!! The Machu Pichu concert and the Rapa Nui concert are the Best !!!
I haven't heard a lot of Pink Floyd but you're right, I can see a lot of similarities between the two bands (at least in the limited exposure I've had to both of them.)
If you want to take a more deep listen to the more “ folk” or indigenous instruments I’d say that either Illapu or Inti Illimani are great options! Look up “Recuerdos del Kalahuayo” by inti illimani, no lyrics, just music doing the talking, something fantastic about this band is that they’re really good at expressing the feeling and the culture just using instruments, or you could also listen to “el carnaval” that’s by inti illimani, Paco Peña and John Williams! Of course in terms of mixing modern instruments and more of prog music with indigenous instruments, Los Jaivas are the best at it! Songs like todos juntos, Mira niñita or hijos de la tierra are amazing too!
For experimenting unique timbres, you may like to listen to Bandoneon, as in Astor Piazzolla's ouvre. You may try Piazzolla's Primavera Porteña or Fuga y Misterio. You'll also find one of the greatest composers of the XXth century!
Great reaction and analysis. If you're interested, a couple of instruments in this song that maybe you haven't heard before are the Trutruka ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1MVtO--HqDY.html ) and the Ocarina ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R0mNMo8wcKk.html ). I put a couple of links here in case you want to hear them a bit more. I strongly recommend the song "Bosques virginales" which at the beginning resembles an indigenous dance called Purrún, and also the song "Tarka y Ocarina".
