NESBITT AND HIS RHYTHM MAKERS (3)<br />

La histórica fotografía de “Nesbitt and His Rhythm Makers”, nos hace<br />

reflexionar sobre los variados ritmos que impregnaron a Bocas del Toro<br />

durante su época dorada. En 1921, The Star & Herald reportó el programa<br />

musical ejecutado por “The Excelsior Orchestra” dirigida por A.A Haynes<br />

durante un evento en el Parque Bolivar. La banda ejecutó marchas, valses,<br />

pasillos, pero también un rag de nombre “anytime anyday anywhere”.<br />

En 1934, época más cercana a la banda de “Maga Man Nesbitt”, el mismo<br />

diario reporta las exitosas fiestas de Jazz de “Claude Layne and His Hot<br />

6”, tanto en Bocas Town como en Almirante.<br />

Estos antecedentes, sumados a los instrumentos visibles en la fotografía<br />

donde figura el saxofón tenor, percusión, trompeta, las maracas y<br />

el magnífico banjo, nos hacen presumir de lo ecléctico de su potencial<br />

repertorio. Seguimos investigando y redescubriendo a “Nesbitt and His<br />

Rhythm Makers”.<br />
