1922?-89 A Cuban pianist and bandleader, nicknamed the "King of Mambo." Some say he was born in 1917. Born in Matanzas, a city in the north of Cuba, he worked as a pianist in clubs and other venues before moving to Mexico in 1947 and forming an orchestra. After 1949, he recorded records such as "Que Rico el Mambo" and "Mambo No. 5," sparking a mambo boom in the United States and Japan. His music is characterized by a fast-paced, up-tempo rhythm and thick, yet crisp, brass and woodwind instruments, and the wind instrument sound is strongly influenced by the modern jazz Stan Kenton Orchestra.

1922?‐89 〈マンボの王様〉の異名をもつキューバ出身のピアニスト,バンド・リーダー。生年は1917年とする説もある。キューバ北部のマタンサス市に生まれ,クラブなどでピアニストとして働いた後,47年にメキシコに渡って楽団を結成した。49年以降《エル・マンボQue Rico el Mambo》《マンボ第5番Mambo No.5》などのレコードを録音して,アメリカや日本にマンボ・ブームを巻き起こした。その音楽は,細かく刻むアップ・テンポのリズムに,厚いサウンドながら歯切れのいい金管・木管群をのせたところに特徴があり,管楽器のサウンドにはモダン・ジャズのスタン・ケントン楽団の影響が色濃く見られる。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
