Good Times, the Argentine Sounds of Luis Jahn   
04/12/2004 01:15PM
Contributed by: ARomero

New CDsChicago,USA - Buenos Tiempos, Argentine singer Luis Jahn's new CD on Del Sur Music, is a follow up to the 2003 release of Compromiso. A CD release party is slated to take place at the Old Town School of Folk Music on Wednesday, April 14 at 8:30 pm.

Written, arranged and produced by singer-guitarist Luis Jahn, Buenos Tiempos remains faithful to his signature heartfelt lyrics and melodic arrangements. The Latin grooves on Buenos Tiempos lay the tracks for a musical journey that is both familiar and innovative. From the bohemian jazz of "Cafe en "El Ultimo Beso" to the wordplay on the experimental "Tinta versus Tinto" featuring Chicago poet Lito Barraza, Jahn is joined by Mexican trovador Alfonso Maya on "Tlatelolco", an ode to those killed by the government in 1968. Instruments like the charango and the pezuna give songs like "La Mala Suerte" and "El Chambeador" an Andean flavor.

"Buenos Tiempo (Good Times) stems from the idea that now more than ever it's a good time to find what's been lost, finish what's been started and to dream the impossible. Music has always been my path to achieve this," explains Jahn. "On this record both musically and lyrically I explored much more than I have in the past."

Living in Chicago since 1989, Jahn has performed at different venues, including the Chicago World Music Festival 2003, Hothouse, Old Town School of Folk Music, and La Décima Musa. He has also played in several universities such as the University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Triton College and Lake Forest College. He has played in South America for various fundraisers and events and was invited to share the stage in Buenos Aires with Leon Gieco and Mercedes Sosa.
