Introito
I
recommend listening to my friends from United States, U.K., Spain,
people around the world and Venezuelans too, you will find two
masterly covers of ''How Deep is your Love'', one of the most
acclaimed songs of the British band The Bee Gees, composed and
produced by them in 1977. Their singers' names are Astrid Celeste and
Yrmaleza Alvarado and they born in my country Venezuela. I discovered
that both performs songs in english of my beloved Bee Gees and other
greats. The first one singer makes use together with her father
Yasmil Marrufo and his group of purely Creole instruments of our
folklore (cuatro and maracas, bajo). And the another one makes too a
beautiful rendition of this song accompanied by a cuatro, that
typical Venezuelan instrument. I feel so proud. I apologize for my
basic English but I wanted to share it with my readers and lovers of
the Bee Gees. I hope you enjoy it.

About
them: Astrid Celeste and Yrmaleza Alvarado
And
grateful to my blogger friend Ali who writes a great page that I
admire a lot called Tigrero
Literario,
because through his comment on my blog, I found out that Astrid
Celeste sings this beautiful melody "How Deep is Your Love",
and
too her
voice beautiful.
I just posted days ago
the chapter ''How
Deep is Your Love' by Bee Gees is 42 years old''
(1),
among the most beautiful song of all time. And mentioned the amount
of versions made.
So
these
beloved Venezuelan women
joins that of The Bee Gees with their
more than 450 covers of this song alone, and in that chapter
I
pass the link you can find it
evencovers
in rap rhythm, bossa, and
so. A great musical theme
forever.

Celeste and the musicians. Her artistic relationships and those of
his father Yasmil Marrufo composer of great singers
Astrid
Celeste, Venezuelan Folk Singer (3)
I
want to talk to you about an amazing Venezuelan singer who has become
popular on social networks, for her covers in Venezuelan folk
version. Astrid Celeste is a Venezuelan singer currently living in
Miami, USA. Three years ago she decided to take music as a profession
and since then, she's been making herself known with her amazing
videos.
Astrid
is the daughter of the famous Venezuelan producer, composer, music
arranger and multi-instrumentalist Yasmil Marrufo, who has worked for
artists such as Ricky Martin, Oscar de León, Carlos Baute, Ricardo
Montaner, Chayanne and others. Yasmil is considered one of the most
talented producers and music arrangers in Latin America, due to his
ability to produce pop, rock, ballad, pop-salsa, merengue and
vallenato.
He
made Venezuelans proud with the album's production "Tributo a
Simón Díaz" (a famous musician, composer and performer of the
Venezuelan popular genre) in which he demonstrated his knowledge of
Venezuelan music, perfectly fusing pop with Venezuelan folklore.
Astrid Celeste was always involved in the world of music because she
helped her dad with some demos, but never considered taking music as
a career, until one day, when she was driving while listening to a
song by Beyonce (her favorite singer), she imagined herself singing
for an audience and thought that's what she likes to do the most in
the world, so she immediately wrote to her father: "Dad, I want
to be a singer". Since then she has been doing covers with her
dad of famous songs like "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder;
"Boca" written by Yasmil Marrufo and his wife Daisy Sanz
and performed by Reinaldo Alvarez; "Somethin' Stupid" by
Frank Sinatra in Italian version; ''How Deep is your love'' by Bee
Gees and other songs.
Another
cover: Yrmaleza Alvarado
''This
is a Song of the Bee Gees arranged by the producer Yasmil Marrufo in
a Venezuelan Folk music style, My english is not the best but singin
is the best way I found to learn. I hope you enjoy it''.
Yrmaleza
Alvarado is a singer, she is (4), 32 years old woman,
proactive and passionate about arts. She comments too:
''I
sing too ''How Deep is your love'' Although from a time here I sing
more alternative pop-rock style. I am an art lover in all its
extension''. My first Company is my family, my roles as mother and
wife are priority. I have a degree in Theology, in the area of family
counseling. Due to the fervent interest in knowing the mind human, I
currently develop studies in Psychology, another of my passions of
life. I am a singer, of those who spend the day among melodies and
diverse lyrics. Singing relieves me soul, and I give my soul a taste.
I love writing poetry, composing songs, creating stories and other
literary styles; In short, I'm in search of mastering the beautiful
art of writing.
My
next goal is to catapult some ideas that I have put on paper
concerning the psyche of the human being. More than just graduating,
consolidate as a researcher and make these Findings to grow knowledge
of the area in question. My commitment is to leave an indelible mark
on a positive level, in the artistic and other humanistic currents in
which. I find myself making life''.
Bachelor
in Psychology
''With
your support to complete $30 per month, I will be able to cover the
expenses of a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Yacambú in
Venezuela. Weekly I will publish articles related to psychology,
psychotherapy and orientation to show the advance in the career and
provide information of help for the community. On that road I walk;
want my feet and the whole of my being to support me!''
Venezuelan
Folk Music Instruments
About
the cuatro
In
2019 let's talk about the Cuatro, Venezuelan musical instrument, also
called cuatro llanero, It is a typical instrument and the most
emblematic of Venezuelan music. It is used in both rural and urban
areas. Its nylon strings produce a beautiful sound, melancholy but
sober
Cuatro
(four-string guitar)
The
cuatro, Venezuela's cultural heritage, is a four-string, wooden
musical instrument of far-off origin. It arrived in Venezuela
concomitantly with the earlier conquerors. It is totally hand-made.
Some families have devoted for generations to manufacturing. For such
purpose, they use cedar and pine. Lara state is the herald in this
matter; the most valuable cuatros come from there. Formerly an
accompanist, this musical instrument was promoted to the rank of
soloist.
Maracas
Maracas
are an idiophone instrument because of their stand-alone vibration
and lack of additional tautness. Maracas are made of the dry fruit of
the calabash tree and filled with dry seeds. The seeds are selected
according to the size of the fruit. Maracas have been used since
pre-Colombus times. Indigenous people used to play only one.
Generally, in the Latin American pop music, maracas are played in
pairs; hence, the plural number of "maracas".
Yasmil
Marrufo
''Yasmil
Marrufo is a Venezuelan composer, music arranger, producer and
multi-instrumentalist, born in Coro, State of Falcón. His passion
for music goes back to the age of 4, when he could already play
maracas, Venezuelan cuatro, and many other instruments his mother
exposed him to. He was regarded as a child prodigy who sang and
played any instrument set before him. His career began at about age
14, when he made appearances with various bands, dance
orchestras, and Venezuelan folk groups in his native country, where
he served as arranger, singer and songwriter. In fact, Yasmil stood
out because of the versatility he showed when playing multiple
instruments (Piano, Guitar, Bass, Venezuelan Cuatro, Drums,
Percussion, etc.) in different styles of music...''.
''His
productions have repeatedly reached Number 1 on the Billboard Charts,
and have reached Multi-Platinum for sales of albums of renowned
artists, such as Ricky Martin, Alexander Pires, Ricardo Montaner,
Carlos Baute. He has also won two Grammy Awards in 2007 for Oscar de
Leon’s album “Fusionando” and for the Venezuelan band Voz Veis
with the album “Cómo se Llega a Belén”. In addition, he won 4
BMI awards as Composer of the Year.
Yasmil
is considered by many to be the most multitalented producer and music
arranger in the Latin market due to his skills in producing from a
pop/rock ballad to a pop/salsa or merengue or a vallenato. Proof of
this can be observed in the Tribute Album for Simon Diaz, where he
displayed his knowledge of Venezuelan music, mixing pop in a way that
gave the album a unique twist to Venezuelan folklore music'' (5).

Aprendí a tocar cuatro de manera autodidacta, a raíz que mi hermana
me regaló un “cuatro carupanero” por allá por el año 1.971
cuando me iniciaba en la Universidad. Fui observando a los que
sabían: los de Yaracuy, guayaneses y hasta de aquí, en Valencia, de
todos aprendía. Tuve siempre un mentor, a mi manera, de ellos
aprendí lo básico de los acordes: siempre que una canción es en
tono mayor, se puede sacar por otro tono mayor; o que para entrar en
un tono se hace por la segunda o dominante y así sucesivamente.
