Pressemitteilung von Rolf Schubert am 1.4.2011
The sensation:
The son of legendary Blues musician Robert Johnson found in Spain
In the summer of 1937 a Gipsy group performing flamenco under the stage name
JUANITA & HER DANCING GITANOS performed
all over the south of The United States. Muddy Waters as a young man saw this group and wrote one of his most famous
songs:
Gipsy Woman.
Robert Johnson saw the group perform in Pickersville, Mississippi and fell in love with Juanita - and she fell in love with
the handsome blues guitar player. Even though their conversation was limited to the few words of Spanish Robert Johnson knew
from listening to Julio Iglesias: te amo and un whiskey por favor, things took their natural cause, Juanita became pregnant and a
boy was born. In honour of his father she named him
Roberto Juan. Roberto grew up in the Mississippi Delta,
picked cotton before he decided to go back to the land of his mother - to Spain. He took his guitar along, started work as a
field hand. Kept performing some of the songs of his father: singing lyrics in a strange mixture of English and Spanish:
I met el diabolo en the crossroads; dulce pueblo - mi chicago; soy un hombre rollando.
One of the most famous songs of the Mississippi blues:
"my woman
left me - all she left me was my mule to ride",
he turned into "no tiengo mujer - solo tiengo mulo".
Legendary blues impressario Rolf Schubert met
Roberto Juan upon one his journeys into the Andalucian mountains,
bought him a new set of teeth, and persuaded him to come to Germany to perform for the first time in his life before a larger
audience.
As
Roberto Juan with his 73 years now - is afraid to travel by plane or car - he decided to ride his mule to
Germany. He will start his journey today and is expected to arrive at the end of this year.
Bookings are already accepted now.
Roberto is very camera shy and allowed only a picture of his mule to be taken.
latest news:
Robert Juan has not yet shown up in Germany. Coming through Paris, he fell in love with this city. Trying to find a job he joined the Slow
Food Movement and is now transporting Camembert cheese from the Normandy to Paris on his mule's back. His mule, so far only used to the smell of
Spanish Manchego cheese, is not too happy about this new job.
Pressemitteilung von Rolf Schubert am 29.11.2010:
"NATHAN & THE ZYDECO CHA CHAS were on tour in Europe for my agency in November 2011.
They played a total of 14 shows in Poland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain.
The venues ranged from smaller jazz clubs and cultural institutions to big concert halls and the prestigious
Lucerne Blues festival.
Plus they did a wonderful workshop, sponsored by the US Embassy in Germany, in a music school, showing 10 - 14 years
old kids what Zydeco is all about.
I have been booking jazz and blues bands from the USA for some 35 years.
I have been bringing Zydeco bands to Europe for some 30 years.
I hardly ever had a more exciting band over here than
Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas.
Nathan is a first rate accordeon player and vocalist, his musicians were the best.
Special mention to guitarist
Dennis Williams. Every night they had their audience dancing, every night
they had to play 2 or more encores. I have never seen a harder working band. I wish them all the success they deserve,
and I am looking forward having them back here again."
