Twee Kitten review of Educacion Y Descanso - Una Fantasia Musical Ambientada En El Balneario De Siesta
by Keith Mclachlan
Listening to this cd I feel like I should now spend most of my Saturdays at home watching PBS re-run old episodes of the Lawrence Welk show due to the amount of enjoyment I seem receive from the sounds on display. To say it is somewhat studied and dispassionate would be, I imagine, a far bit too cruel. The producers behind this record seem to be precise archivists of a certain time and place, that that particular foci was one pre-occupied with cute foreign singers singing cutely over all too smart (for the lyrical innards) musical backdrops. It is a bit like learning (via Behind the Music) that the Partridge Family soundtrack was created by professional old session players including a drummer pretending to be some dumb 6 year old kid. Must be something similar here, but also the same in that of course the Partridge Family songs were almost bona-fide classics. Here, too, it is likely that these players are far too old and know far too well their illegitimacy and their distance from the sort of emotions and senses applied to this music. Yet, still, their dedication to craft and art makes this an accomplished and earnest work beyond its influences. It is the second in a series, the length of which is unknown so far (at least to me), and the set is categorized as a musical comedy, but as most of the music and all of the liner notes are in Spanish I can't say I am yet able to pick up on the humour allegedly contained within. However, I am able to witness the moving and whimsical moments and, yes, the earnest and frivolous moments (a cheeky cover of 'To Sir With Love'). The great thing about these records (this and the previous Sol Y Sombra) is the idea that they will expose a certain brand of music to people that might not otherwise (had it not been on Siesta) have had desire to endure. This is the definition of lovely, of course, but again I wonder about the packaging because surely the designers base their colour schemes on the vibes transmitted to them from the recording but this colour, if I remember my colour swatches for the 1993 model line Dodge Intrepid, is something close to champagne which is nice if you are old and dull, which as earlier stated at least partly describes the men here, but this record should be shocking pink and lemon yellow or maybe bongo blue and trendy turquoise because the music is lively and edutaining. Oh well, the girl on the cover is beautiful and very stylish and really kind of groovy and what would she be doing on this album cover were it not hip. So then, maybe I am just unable to see sound in the same colours as everyone else. No big deal.
