Sul Divano, tributo a Zappa.



El objetivo de Sul Divano es difundir su obra, como así también interpretar a autores de prestigio que se relacionen con su música.

Tal es el caso del compositor americano Frank Zappa, donde a través de sus distintas épocas -tomando partes de sus arreglos originales en algunos temas, y re-arreglándolos para la formación del grupo en otras- aspiramos a ilustrar su naturaleza.

Como se conoce, la música de Zappa se destaca por su riqueza armónica y rítmica. Sul Divano (creemos) logra recrear oportunamente toda la esencia de su música.

Entre otros -como no podía ser de otra manera-, Sul Divano pensó en un compositor de la misma reputación, como es el caso de Astor Piazzolla, donde la sonoridad eléctrica de la banda ofrece una nueva dimensión a su música.

VIVA ZAPPA, un grupo de covers: the Hungry Freaks.



Based in Ottawa, Ontario – The Hungry Freaks are English Canada’s only Mothers of Invention era coverband, combining personal and faithful renditions of the early music of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention with their own fresh interpretation (as the video, above, live at Barstorm 7, in Finch, ON, demonstrates). Click here to hear their versions of such classics as “Magic Fingers”, “I’m So Happy I Could Cry”, and “DogMeat” on their MySpace page.

Next door, in Quebec, Viva Zappa is still French Canada’s only Zappa coverband. Check out their website to hear full versions from their Zappa tribute album, Viva Zappa: The Purple Lagoon Sessions 2006 & 2007 – “Stinkfoot”, “Lucille”, “Crew Slut”, “Lumpy Gravy/Harry You’re A Beast Medley”, as well as an excellent live version of “King Kong”. If you like what you hear, download the entire album from Zappateers (torrent).
