Cascada de Flores, musical ambassadors of Mexican and Spanish-speaking Caribbean traditions for 14 years, present Radio Flor — a musical love letter to the golden radio age of Latin America, when songs were king and a melody grabbed your heart for a lifetime. Musical vignettes bring a by-gone era vividly to life, featuring heart-wrenching bolero, raucous Cuban guaracha, or earthy Mexican son, set in an old-time radio show format somewhere between 1929-1959.
Cascada de Flores features Arwen Lawrence and Jorge Liceaga, who provide the distinctive vocals, guitar and dance alongside luminary musicians Saúl Sierra-Alonso (double bass, leoncita, vocals), Marco Díaz (trumpet, piano, vocals), and Brian Rice, (percussion & vocals).
Says Jorge Saldana, a broadcaster since 1931 and popular TV host of music programs including Nostalgia, Sabados con Saldana, Anoranzas, "Listening to Cascada de Flores is an extrasensory experience that transcends standard notions of music. Arwen does not sing for our ears, she knows how to reach deeper into our souls. "
Besides a call to nostalgia, Radio Flor is also a proposal for the present day: to ponder the simple lo-tech orchestration, find the beauty of its spaciousness, and of its frank emotions. Arwen and Jorge invite you to "Sit, listen, dance, cry, laugh. Radio Flor is a little bit from the past, a bit from the present, and little more from our imagination."
