Dig those dancing shoes out of the bottom of
your closet and call your friends because they
won't want to miss Caliente. one of Eugene's
hottest bands that will be at the WOW Hall
Saturday night
Caliente is a popular local band that was
originally formed to play in the Eugene
Celebration parade several years ago The
founders of the group had such a good time
and were so well received that they decided to
continue playing.
One mem lair of the group, Freddy Vilchez.
who is originally from Santiago, Chile,
described the kind of musu the group likes to
play.
"We play a variety of rhythms from Latin
America We try to enrich them with meaning
ful harmonies.'' he said "So. we don't just get
into playing rhythms that make people move,
but also good quality music "
It is obvious people enjoy dancing at
Caliente's concerts, hut there are also people,
not quite as noticeable, who enjoy simply sit
ting and listening to the music.
"Our music is not just dance music It's also
for listening to That's why. although we play
traditional dance rhythms that are danceahle.
we try to make them real songs with real
arrangements, so they are interesting to listen
to. ”
Caliente plays many different rhythms that
are fun to dance to. Such rhythms include the
mambo, cha-cha-cha, cumbia, merengue, son.
salsa and the bolero. The mambo is a fast
paced rhythm that originated in Cuba. The
cumbia, which comes from Colombia, is the
most popular rhythm to dance to in Latin
America, Vilchez said. The bolero is a slow
song that is a type of ballad.

Dave Bender, one of the original founders of
the group, has already received his Masters
from the University’s School of Music and
currently spends Ins time composing and
playing trumpet for Caliente. Bender also
finds time to perform in several orchestras and

Hall is good. I think the people who go there
are open to new music and styles ! really like
it and am pretty sure that most of our band
members enjoy playing there," Vilchez said.

with Pato Banton
By Colleen Pohhg
Emerald Associate Editor
If your musical taste lies somewhere between lovey-dovey souks
and those with lyrics devoid of any meaningful messages, then defi
nitely don't go see reggae-great Pato Hanlon's show next weekend
Banton. who will feature his fifth album release Nov *!‘l at tin
vvuvv Hall, is known for Ins unique ability to involve, entertain and
educate audiences throughout the 50 slates. Mexico. Europe, lapan
and beyond.
And he doesn't waste tune singing about the woman he met last
night or that the key to happiness is having loads of money
"There are so many problems in the world ozone depletion, the
destruction of our rain forests, child abuse, homelessness." Banton
said. "There's no time to be singin' 'kiss me. baby
Banton, who will perform in Eugene for the second time, said edu
eating his audiences about world issues is more than just something
he does.
"It's the most important thing," he said. "It means more to me than
making a million dollars. If I can steer one youth, that would mean
more to me than making lots of money."
With Universal Love. Banton‘s latest, his message comes through
clearly and passionately. He sings of a need for a love of Cod in these
times of turbulent racial relations, homelessness and war
“(The title of the new release) is a hard-hitting message like 'wise
up.' " Banton said. "This is a message of love get rid of all the hate,
love your brothers ami sisters, and God is love."
Messages of God, or ")ah," weave creatively through all of the songs
in this release, and Banton stresses the only way to solve our human
made problems is to love God
"The main issue is focusing on a love for God," Banton said
"People have nearly strayed away from any recognition of our
Creator."
The first song on the release, also called "Universal Love." expands
on Bunion's quote: "By loving Our Creator we learn more and more
how to love his entire creation Universal love then becomes the solu
tion to all of our man-made problems "

Pate 9 an ton bring* llv* reggae with a menage of univaraai love to the
WOW Hall Nov. 29
The sound of Universal Love differs somewhat from his earlier
releases, such as Sever Hive In with the popular song "Don't Sniff
Coke."
Whereas Ins earlier releases were filled with unmistakably reggae
sounding tunes, his newest one sprinkles some rap. disco and pop
sounds in with the predominant reggae inode The result is a creative,
distinct sound that only Banton could produce successfully.
Universal Love also experiments with horns, a pulsating guitar and
a chorus of 10 young children singing "Co I’ato "
"Ibis is the first album that I’ve Ihsui totally pleased with," flanton
said
Tickets for the 0 p m show at the WOW Hall are still available
