Beatles at the CAF
As part of the celebrations of the 35th anniversary of the Andean Development Corporation (CAF), the Magical Mystery Band will give a free concert in the Antonio José de Sucre Auditorium in the CAF headquarters in Caracas on May 26 at 7:00 pm
The event is another of the many activities organized by the CAF Cultural and Community Development Department as a contribution to the integrated development and formation of human beings through music, as well as applauding and supporting national talent.
The concert is a perfect mechanism for bringing together all the fans of the legendary Liverpool group to enjoy magical interpretations and arrangements that will bring back memories of an unforgettable epoch of frenetic dancing, color and eccentric tastes.
Yesterday, Oh Darling!, Blackbird, Let it be and Hey Jude are some of the numbers the Magical Mystery Band will perform with vibrant notes and contagious rhythm.
More of Magical Mystery Band
Magical Mystery Band emerged from two young people’s need to experiment with the musical legacy of one of the most important and talented groups in the history of contemporary music: The Beatles.
Created by Leonor Falcón (violin and leader) and Angélica Guevara (cello), students of the Emil Friedman College, the concept of Magical Mystery Band was later enriched by talented musicians who were lovers of the legendary English group, such as Biella Da Costa (lead singer), Alexander González (viola), Guillermo González (guitar), Carlos Uzcátegui (keyboard), Manuel Montáñez (drums) and Juan Manuel Guevara (bass). Their instrumental support has given the musical arrangements a variety of subtleties rarely imagined or heard by followers and critics of the Beatles sound.
In only two years since they were formed, this professional group has given concerts in well-known venues in Caracas and the provinces: the Emil Friedman College auditorium; Ríos Reyna Room of the Teresa Carreño Theater at the Caracas Jazz Festival; Sala Corp Banca during the Jazz in the Center event; Colonial Art Museum Quinta Anauco; Dimitrus Demu Museum in Puerto La Cruz, and in the Hotel Intercontinental del Lago in Maracaibo, among others.
In 2004, the band traveled to Buenos Aires to compete in the fourth Latin American Beatles Week (www.thecavernclub.com.ar) where every year two Latin American groups are selected to take part in the annual Beatle Week Festival in Liverpool, England. Magical Mystery Band was selected and will perform at the Festival in August 2005 in representation of Latin America. Congratulations!
