Los Nuevos Boleros de Ricardo - The New Boleros of

Ric Dominguez, AKA “Don Riquixote”

Muy Querido Amigo - Soy el compositor, Ricardo. Cada proyecto creativo tiene un impulso unico que lo anima. Para mi ha sido recordar el placer musical que antes tenia la musica latina - especialmente boleros y baladas como “Sabor A Mi”, “La Bikina”, y “Jurame”, etc . Esa musica ha sido desplazada mas y mas con temas insignificantes musicalmente, claro con algunas grandes excepciones. Igualmente, asi ha llegado ser mucha musica Americana - mas y mas perdiendo su valor musical, hasta insultar la decencia humana. Se pudiera tomar este proyecto mio como la situacion de una persona hambrienta que se encuentra en una trampa por la razon que casi todos los restaurantes son de comida chatarra, o sea "fast food". En esa situacion, un menu insalubre y limitado, esta controlado por corporaciones cuya unica meta es la ganancia, sin ninguna consideracion al bienestar personal o social. Este proyecto es una reaccion contra esa situacion actual. Soy un compositor que recuerda el rico surtido y sabor edificante de mucha de la musica popular en la radio del ayer. En este CD decidi preparar mi propia “alimentacion” para satisfacer un profundo hambre musical, tratando de interponer algo de la gracia, la poesia, y el buen sabor que la musica debe prestar a la vida.
Por no considerarse mis temas de una forma ‘‘comercial’’, estamos concientes de que mi musica es mas como una empresa social, y no comercial, por falta del apoyo financiero que de otra manera fuera posible. Despues de escuchar mis temas, y si son de su gusto, y si desea apoyarme, puede ser servicial de estas maneras: 1. Invitar a sus conocidos o amigos de la red visitar este sitio. 2. Si es posible, contactar un interprete indicado, tal vez ya con fama , a oir mis obras. 3. Bajar o comprar los temas del CD demostrados en la proxima pagina, o 4. Si quiere hacer donacion por PayPal es posible AQUI. Todo esto me ayudaria para poder continuar por este camino. Desafiando el “status quo”es dificil y costoso - aprecio mucho su apoyo.
Aunque me pesa mucho, desde un perspectivo social, sirve que se aclare esta situacion de la musica popular, la mayor parte controlada por corporaciones. Como no me gusta criticar , Tomas Cantoral, agudo observador social, se encargara del criticismo en su propia pagina enlazada AQUI.Todo se ha incluido, no para juzgar sino para poder educarnos de peligros invisibles que se nos presentan en la vida. Si le interesa, favor de hacer clic AQUI. De otra manera, favor de continuar escuchando mis temas en espanol o ingles; en espanol pulsando aqui: TEMAS EN ESPANOL. Para mis temas Americanos, favor de pulsar aqui : TEMAS EN INGLES

Dear Friend - It’s me, the composer speaking. Every creative undertaking has a unique set of circumstances that motivates it. With me it was and is, remembering how personally appealing Latin popular music used to be, especially boleros and baladas like “La Bikina”, Sabor a Mi”,“Jurame”,“El Triste”, etc. Today, boleros are considered antiquated and are often not even featured in contemporary radio programming, being replaced with material often insulting to human decency. Likewise, so much of American pop music has lost its moral and artistic taste and direction, often catering to violence and vulgarity for the sake of sales.
You might think of this effort like that of a music-hungry guy trapped in a corporate-run music fast-food world - where his menu choices are limited to insipid but convenient fast-food offered by corporate ''taste police'', who virtually control what's cooking, based on what is profitable for them - not what's healthy for you or your children. I'm a composer who remembers how really musically satisfying, rich, and varied popular music used to be - and who decided to make his own musical Latin “soul” food to satisfy a deeper musical hunger. This project is a personal reaction to that very real situation affecting all of us today. Because my music is not considred commercial in today’s market, this project is more a social venture, than a commercial one. If you should happen to like my new songs, and want to help, you can do so by: 1. inviting your friends to this site; 2. If you have access to them, by inviting appropriate recognized singers to my site,; 3. by buying or down-loading my cd’s demo-ed on the next page, and 4. by making a donation to the cause via PAYPAL. As with most indepen -dent composers all of this would be helpful, encouraging, and even necessary to be able to publish other songs.
It saddens me to need to include criticism of today’s pop music scene. Since I’m not into criticism, Tomas Cantoral, a keen social observer and comentator, will respond to some of the emails we receive - included here to educate, not to be judgemental. So as not to burden this music site with a lot of text, we decided to separate TOMAS’ PAGE critical of the music industry; he has included an interesting”OPEN LETTER”. It all comes down to a quote by Van Morrison,"Music is something spiritual; the business of music, no.” If you are interested in reading more, please click HERE.

N O T A I M P O R T A N T E !

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who wrote, and those who encouraged me and helped me complete this project. My special thanks to my engineer/arranger Xavier Miguel, the vocalists, Jose Luis Rios and Frankie Ray Cruz, and all the mentors of Apple's ONE-To-ONE program. My deepest gratitude.

To the person who commented that I'm like the Don Quixote of Latin popular music: well, thanks (! .??). I have even been titled, "RIQUIXOTE", (thanks to you) because of my site’s stance against the current of contem- porary pop music, and some of the corporations that influence and support it. But before judging me too quixotic please read the texts included in the site. Without question, like Don Quixote asserted, “we are living in a degenerate age” - at least musically, judging by what passes for music today. I think that restoring the Golden Age of Latin music would be like a dream, and certainly a much-needed social blessing, according to the views expressed on this site. These changes can't be achieved by the power or courage of a single Knight Errant (like me!), or a few composers, but by the education and help of a whole people - on the new battlefield of the internet. If you wish to contribute to the cause, please note there is a PayPal donation link on most of the pages.

Well, with your permission, I'm off to polish my helmet and my shield, and to sharpen my sword - er, pen! With a firm embrace, I bid you farewell, hoping to cut off the head of any evil-minded corporate giant that's a destroyer of our pop musical culture. May God always bless our lives with decent music - especially boleros and baladas.

Vale, Ricardo - Otherwise known as "Riquixote"

“En esta edad degradante, sigo luchando a restaurar la Epoca de Oro de la musica popular latina!”

Don Riquixote

“In this degrading age, my quest is to restore the GOLDEN AGE of Latin popular music!”

Oye Riquixote - Hasta con todo armamento que llevas, se van a burlar tus enemigos - las grandes entidades corporativas que han controlado la música popular por decadas hasta llegar al presente nivel degradante. Pues no pareces nada alarmante - y aquellos gigantes arrogantes son muy influyentes y poderosos, hasta por el internet. Necesitas a mi, yo como un Sancho Panza de mirada bizquera - para defenderte con mis comentarios agudos de la realidad - tu con tu idealismo musical. Que Dios bendiga nuestros ensayos.

Sin mas, tu aldeano, companero, y fiel escudero,

Tomas Cantoral, ed.

Me in my Don Quixote outfit. Imagine, a Don Quixote songwriter knight with glasses - what next!!

Yo como Don Quixote - Imaginese, un compositor caballero andante con lentes - es el colmo!!

Hey, Riquixote - Even with all your armor, your enemies, the big media corporations that have for decades controlled the pop music world, and have brought it to today's degrading state, are going to laugh at you. You don't appear at all intimidating, and those arrogant giants are very influential and powerful- even on the internet. You need me, like a squinty-eyed Sancho Panza, to defend you with my sharp observations based on reality - and you with your musical idealism. May God bless our efforts.

All for now, your companion, and faithful squire,

Tom Cantoral,ed
