Sincopa
is the brainchild of José Gassó under the auspices of Apio Music L.L.C.
It came to happen as the need for a "central data base" of
Jazz info, often talked about among Venezuelan Jazz enthusiasts. Mr.
Gassó, himself a Jazz fan for over 30 years, decided to use the
Internet and create a site that would gather as much information as
possible about the phenomenon of Jazz “Made in Venezuela”. With the
help of many collaborators, friends and from his own experiences as
recording engineer/producer, he painstakingly started to gather
information that was presumed lost from the musical memory.
At
the end, Sincopa turned out to be the most complete and up-to date
source of information for Jazz “Made in Venezuela” or by Venezuelans
around the world. And currently it is building its database for
World-Ethnic and Traditional music.
The site is far from finished and we
hope it stays that way. It cannot be finished while there are still many
Venezuelan musicians creating good music. The hope is that the
creativity never ends and music will always flow.
