Info for ¡Spangled!



¡Spangled! is a collaboration between Guatemalan-born singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno and American musician, songwriter, arranger, and producer Van Dyke Parks.The ten-song set celebrates the migration of song across theAmericas and spans more than a century, including a bolero from Panama, a bossanova from Brazil, and an elegiac ballad from the Southwest United States—RyCooder, John Hiatt, and Jim Dickinson’s“Across the Borderline,” performed with Cooder and Jackson Browne.The album also includes one of Moreno’s own songs as well as the previously released track “The Immigrants”by Trinidadian songwriter David Rudder

Gaby Moreno is a Guatemalan native who made Los Angeles her home almost two decades ago. She has established herself as a singer-songwriter with a repertoire incorporating blues, jazz, folk, and soul, performed in Spanish and English. She is a frequent guest on Chris Thile’s Live from Here public radio show. Moreno was awarded a Best New Artist Latin Grammy in 2013 and garnered a nomination for Best Latin Pop Album at the 2017 Grammys for Illusion. She also is the co-composer of the theme for Parks and Recreation.

Van Dyke Parks is a storied composer, arranger, and producer who has worked with artists ranging from the Mothers Of Invention to the Beach Boys—as well as Phil Ochs, Harry Nilsson, Little Feat, Inara George, and Joanna Newsom. He studied at the American Boy choir School in Princeton and later at Carnegie Tech, where Aaron Copland was one of his instructors. Parks has been an actor, a record executive, and composer and arranger on many Hollywood films. But it was in the early1960s, when he was performing with his brother Carson Parks at coffee houses in Southern California that he began to explore and perform LatinAmerican music in earnest.

Gaby Moreno
Latin GRAMMY-winning Guatemalan singer-songwriter GABY MORENO, “an artist worthy of soundtracking a future Quentin Tarantino film,” (Popmatters) and a collection of very special guests dive into the classic Pan American songbook of the 1950s and ‘60s, playing music from Moreno’s forthcoming Nonesuch Records release Spangled (Fall 2019), which she made in collaboration with the legendary composer/producer Van Dyke Parks. An early glimpse of the album—the single “The Immigrants,” a fierce reworking of a 20-year-old song by Trinidadian calypso legend David Rudder—moved NPR Music to say, “Gaby Moreno is on the kind of creative streak that usually results in recordings that not only stand the test of time, but also set new creative standards.” Flor de Toloache, NYC’s first all-women mariachi group, and Mexican singer/guitarist Caloncho join the performance as Gaby’s special guests.

Centered around the core of the California-born brothers Luis Humberto (vocals), Rafael (bass), and Julián (keys) Navejas—with Ángel Sánchez (drums) and Javier Mejía (guitar) rounding out the lineup—Mexico City-based ENJAMBRE is a chart-topping Rock en Español band with a reverence for classic rock; they cite Creedence, Zeppelin, and early Beatles as influences (along with “nostalgia y el rock de los buenos tiempos”). They released their first record, Consuelo En Domingo, in 2005 and their most recent, Imperfecto Extraño, in 2017.

EL DAVID AGUILAR, a captivating indie folk artist who mixes influences from across the Latin music world, is “one of the most versatile, creative, and groundbreaking contemporary singer-songwriters to come out of Mexico’s independent scene.” (SXSW) He was nominated for five Latin GRAMMY Awards last year for his outstanding album Siguiente.

The LATIN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC CONFERENCE, which is celebrating its 20th year, “is to Latin alternative the way the Sundance Film Festival is to indie movies.” (The New York Times)
