"Bésame tanto"
|
For many, "Can Can" is a style defined by
a notion of France in the beginning of the 20th century.
In Quito, however, "Can Can" has evolved into
a new rhythm full of inexplicable fusions converging into
one contemporary trio.
Can Can is formed by Denisse Santos, Pato Sánchez
and Daniel Pasquel. The group got its start in August
of 2002 on Radio Latina's show "El Aeroplano."
Can Can's music is nothing like its French homonym.
For one thing, the fusions are very contemporary due in
part to the band's liberal use of electric/digital music
mixed with more mainstream rhythms. An example of this
is the song "Bésame Tanto," a new version
of Ray Coniff's classic "Bésame Mucho."
The band experienced a meteoric rise on the local music
scene. Soon, Can Can was being invited to play
in important local musical festivals such as Quito Fest
2003 and alongside internationally renowned bands like
Los Tetas from Chile. Their most representative
performance though was a semi-acoustic show in Quito's
El Pobre Diablo bar last November where their music was
accompanied by productions by Sapo Inc.
The band is not interested in being pigeonholed into
any particular style, and prefer the free form formula
where the sky is the limit.
Their self titled and first CD has ten original songs.
Plans are underway to produce a second album, tentatively
to be named "Pobre Diablos," with twelve
new songs. In addition, Can Can has added their music
to 4 videos produced by the independent production company
Sapo Inc.. A DVD of this cooperation will be launched
to the local market. Among the videos will be "Casi
Siempre" produced in 3-D by Daniel Pasquel.
Can Can does not tire of creating new projects
and spreading their sound. To see what the "Increíble
Sociedad del Can" are up to, please visit their
