Music reflects respect
for all ethnic traditions

From page 26

doesn’t come asa surprise to
Guzman, who has been perform.
ing since he was nine. But he isn’t
getting swept away with visions of
stardom.

“You're probably going to ask
me what the goals of Ancient
Cultures are, Well, | don’t know,”
he says, preferring to take a wait-
and-see attitude.

Guzman leans back in his chair
and yawns widely. He’s just
finished a busy day at CBC radio,
where he works as an associate
producer, While he’s serious
about performing, he likes the idea
of maintaining two distinct ca-
reers.

“Music,”’ he says, “was
always a hobby for me because |
had my career in business ad-
ministration. | always played for
free in Chile, but | started to feel
like | needed something else.
Music wasn’t my dream at that age
— it was always a curiosity. Then |
started to get into it and couldn't
quit. | thought folk music has no
end —- you start with a traditional
composition and turn it into a
contemporary form.’

This “hobby” took him
through South America, Mexico
and eventually to Canada. Guz-
man believes it was his destiny to
end up in Vancouver.

“twas on holidays in Mexico
for the 1986 World Soccer Cup,
and | met the right people at the
right time. We were joking — they
asked me if I'd ever been to
Canada, and | said no. Then |
started thinking about it and the
next thing | knew | had a landed
immigrant application form in my
hand.”

In Vancouver Guzman hooked

up with Cortez and the two began
performing as a duo, but almost
exclusively to Latin audiences. In
1988 they were offered a gig at the
Calgary Winter Olympics and
were forced to come up with a
name.

One thing led to the next. At
one of their concerts they met
Sandra Routledge, who offered to
manage them.

“I told them that they needed
to target their audience because
they had the potential to build a
huge audience,” says Routledge.
“So they asked me if | could help
them. We printed some business
cards , got together a promotional
kit and started promoting
curselves. We've played all the
major B.C. festivals since then.”

Guzman has been adding new
members to his group at a rate of
about one a year. The band is now
composed of Guzman, Cortez,
Guatamalan Fito Garcia, Mex-
ican-born Carlos Galindo and
Chileans Alberto San Martin and
Angel Araos.

Guzman plays the Spanish
guitar, the charango (a small guitar
made from the shell of an ar-
madillo), cuatro (a four-stringed
instrument from Venezuela), tiple
dike a dulcimer, from Colombia)
and percussion instruments, and
does most of the composing.

Though he has great respect for
alf ethnic music, he says that no
one sound has influenced his writ-
ing.

“| love Brazilian and Afro-
Peruvian rhythms, and | listen to
classical music on top of that.
Sometimes it turns me on and |
combine different flavors in my
work, t think that sometimes |
decompose rather than compose,”
he laughs.

Fortes’ wine festival will
aid Canadian Craft Museum

From page 28

Museum at the museum’s new Ca-
thedral Place location. It might
also be a benefit for the
viticulturist, oenolagist, wine snob
or any other folk that pine for a
good drop of the grape.

The festival will be the first event
at the new gallery digs, so be
careful where you spit that wine.

Accompanying the wines from
B.C, Washington, Oregon and
idaho will be seafood from the
kitchens of Joe Fortes.

Jazz will also be served by the
Chris Sigurdson Trio and Mark
Hasselbach and his band atong
with singer Lori Paul.

Tickets are $75 per person.
Kick-off time is scheduled for 6
pm.
