Alvear feels the love in Hub homecoming
by Bob Young
Alex Alvear’s homecoming Thursday was the musical equivalent of the reunion scene in a movie in which the long-lost son returns to a party thrown by his loving relatives and friends.
Only this time, bassist, guitarist, singer and composer Alvear was hosting the bash, several thousand miles from his native Ecuador on the turf that has been his home for 20 years: Boston and the Jorge Hernandez Cultural Center.
Alvear assembled a top-shelf cast to revisit the South American music he said he’d been missing. Singer Marta Gomez hails from Colombia, guitarist Michel Gonzalez from Spain, keyboardist Matt Jensen from the United States, the panpipe and flute players from Ecuador, and a string section from Panama, Venezuela and Israel. They immersed a rapt crowd in Alvear’s new CD, “Equatorial.”
While Alvear’s melancholic pasillos, driving albazos and syncopated sanjuanitos captured his Ecuadorian roots, his songs told the tale of a musician also in love with salsa, Afro-Cuban sounds and rock ’n’ roll.
By the time the pulsing, anthemic “De Donde Vengo” brought the audience to its feet, Alvear knew he had indeed found home. 11/17/07 >> go there
