│release notes.
Simon Diaz (1928- ). Celebrated singer and composer of Venezuelan
music, whose work is regarded as one of the most important legacies
for both Venezuelan and Latin American popular music. Simon Diaz is
known foremost for his recovery of the songs of the Venezuelan
plains. He was convinced that these were a unique music and he
devoted himself to studying, composing and disseminating them. He
succeeded in turning the songs of the Venezuelan plains into an
authentic musical genre performed by such great artists as
Argentina's Mercedes Sosa, Brazil's Caetano Veloso, Spain's Joan
Manuel Serrat, Puerto Rico's Danny Rivera, and Venezuelans Franco
De Vita, Soledad Bravo and Jose Luis Rodriguez, among others. Also,
renowned conductors and composers of academic music have
incorporated Simon Diaz songs in their orchestral and choral
arrangements, thus signaling the universal nature of this musical
genre.
Musicians are not the only ones who have felt attracted to Simon
Diaz songs. Artists from various disciplines have been inspired by
his work. For example, German choreographer Pina Bausch included
some of Diaz songs in her work "Nur Du" In addition, recognized
film director Pedro Almodovar included in his film soundtrack "La
Flor de mi Secreto" Diaz song "Tonada de Luna Llena" performed by
Caetano Veloso.
Simon Diaz passion for songs and drama led him to theater, motion
pictures and TV. In the 1960's he became one of the biggest
comedians in Venezuela and a symbol of the most genuine expressions
of folklore and popular culture. He has had the leading role in 3
plays and 5 films; has produced and hosted 12 different
high-ranking TV shows, all of them devised to promote Venezuelan
music. One of these shows was devoted to teaching popular culture
to children. This show was on the air for 10 years, and from this
experience, Diaz became known as "Uncle Simon" For 25 years, he had
a daily radio show focussed on folklore and Venezuelan music. He
has recorded over 70 records and CD's and has made innumerable
performances throughout his career. In 1998, he celebrated "50
Years of Artistic Life" Simon Diaz has been granted the most
important music awards. He was given the highest recognition
conferred by the Venezuelan state "Liberator's Order; Great Cord"
becoming the only Venezuelan artist with such a distinction. He was
given the honorary doctorate degree by two major Venezuelan
universities "Simon Rodriguez University" and Zulia's "Rafael
Belloso Chacon University".
He has represented his country in France, the United Kingdom,
Spain, Poland, Hungary, Iraq, the United States, Mexico, Panama,
Puerto Rico, Cuba and Colombia.
Simon Diaz is known worldwide as the author of "Caballo Viejo"
(also named "Bamboleo" -swinging.) His compositions have been
performed by Placido Domingo, Ray Conniff, Julio Iglesias, Celia
Cruz, Ruben Blades, Gilberto Santarrosa, Gipsy Kings, Ivan Lins,
Joyce, Cheo Feliciano, Juan Gabriel, Maria Dolores Pradera,
Martirio, Tania Libertad, Ry Cooder.
Besides being an icon in Venezuela, Diaz is also one of the most
popular and universal artist in Latin America. In thinking about
the history of popular music in Venezuela and in Latin America,
Diaz is both unique and an essential reference The prestigous
latinamerican TV Channel A&E MUNDO has produced a documentary
