Are you ready to discover the 'F word' in music? No, it's not what you think. It's something much more exhilarating – it's FUN! In a delightful episode of Talking Flutes revisited, hosts Jean Paul Wright takes us on a musical journey with the exceptional talents of Jose Valentino (flute) and Gualo (guitar).
The podcast revisits a gem from March 2019, which deserves a second listen (or perhaps your very first). Recorded in a hotel room in Los Angeles, this episode is brimming with laughter, wisdom, and spontaneous music that transcends the traditional boundaries of flute and guitar.
Jose Valentino, a multi-award-winning musician, and Gualo, a master of guitar, have a chemistry that's palpable. Their conversation veers from the serious to the silly, from discussing the nuances of love in music to the sheer joy of playing for the sake of playing. They remind us that music is not just about precision and technique; it's about expression, service, and connecting with the audience.
The duo discusses the importance of having fun while playing music, a sentiment that resonates deeply in an industry often bogged down by perfectionism. They emphasise that music should be a playful adventure, akin to children in a sandbox, exploring and expressing without fear of judgment.
Their performances within the podcast are a testament to their philosophy. With Valentino's flute beatboxing and Gualo's rhythmic guitar grooves, they create a soundscape that's both innovative and infectious. Their original composition "Love Has to Do with It" is a response to Tina Turner's classic hit, delving into the profound aspects of love and how it influences their music.
Listeners will find themselves nodding along when Valentino and Gualo discuss the pitfalls of taking music too seriously. They encourage everyone, whether a seasoned musician or a beginner, to embrace improvisation and the creative freedom it brings. Their advice is simple yet profound – look in the mirror, smile, and remind yourself to have fun before you play.
The podcast wraps up with a soulful performance of "It's My Promise," leaving us with the lingering question: Do we need more of the 'F word' in our lives? If you're looking to reignite your passion for music or simply need a reminder to enjoy the simple pleasures of playing an instrument, this episode is a must-listen.
So, grab your headphones, settle in, and let the sounds of Talking Flutes revisited fill your room. Who knows, you might just find yourself tapping your feet, or better yet, picking up an instrument to join in the fun. Listen to the episode now and unlock the joy of music that's been waiting for you all along.
