Vals Capricho #2 JAH

Rafael "Bullumba" Landestoy is a Dominican composer from the golden age of Latin American popular music of the 50's and 60's.  He still roams the streets of New York in his two piece suit and fedora hat.  In this concert in New York's Town Hall, I am accompanied by him at the piano, in a concert dedicated to Dominican composers a few years ago. The word  "Quisqueya"
 is the old Indian taino name for the island known today as the Hispaniola.  This is his love song to his beloved Santo Domingo.

Tardes Quisqueyanas by Rafael "Bullumba" Landestoy

I met Mr. Landestoy in the NY apartment of guitarist friend about 10 years ago. He showed me this, his most famous ballad, sung by all the greats of Latin American singers of the 50's.  He hung out with all the greats of Copa Cabana fame, and he is still around...in this live clip from a concert in New York's Town Hall, I had the unbelievable luxury of being accompanied by him at the piano.  I felt like some fabulous cabaret singer, as he rolled out one great chord after another; a true virtuoso in this jazz/Latin style of the golden age of Latin American popular song
