He is best known for performing traditional music from the Caribbean coast of Colombia and for composing several popular songs. He is particularly remembered for his chalupa version of the Cuban son “Rosa, qu\u00e9 linda eres”, first recorded by the Sexteto Habanero God\u00ednez in 1918, which has become a standard of the Colombian repertoire. Between 2012 and 2017, he released three solo albums, the last of which, El Orisha de la Rosa, was awarded a Grammy Award.Biography[edit]D\u00edaz was born in Mahates, northern Colombia, on 30 December 1922, to Domingo D\u00edaz and Felipa Garc\u00eda. Both of his parents were singers; his mother was a well known bullerengue singer in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Born into poverty, he along with other children worked the land, planting rice, beans and yucca to feed the family. As such, he did not go to school, and thus, could not read or write. Early on in his life, it was clear that he was musically talented, and was described as a child prodigy. Aged nine, he sang, wrote, and was able to play all kinds of instruments, including the drums, maracas, and guacharaca.[1]In his teenage years, he worked on a plantation as a sugar cutter. Plantations on the Caribbean coast of Colombia were for many years the country’s entry point for Cuban music, and in the early 20th century, son cubano began to enter the repertoire of Afro-Colombian genres such as bullerengue and mapal\u00e9.[2] “Rosa, qu\u00e9 linda eres”, first recorded by the Sexteto Habanero God\u00ednez in 1918 for Victor, was one of the early anonymous sones to cross over in this fashion, soon becoming very popular among plantation workers such as Mag\u00edn D\u00edaz.[2] In Colombia, he has sometimes been referred to as the “author” of the song, although he could not recall composing it.[3] Nonetheless, he is said to have been enamoured with a Caucasian plantation owner’s daughter, Rosa, for whom he would perform the song. Their budding romance was taboo, and could never have happened during that time, so the song was seen as just a melody sung by a humble farmer. Over time, it gained popularity along the coast, and other musicians picked it up.[3] D\u00edaz was also known for being the actual author of other traditional songs such as “Por el Norte, por el Sur”, “Esp\u00edritu maligno” and “Me amar\u00e1s” in the 1930s and 1940s.[4]In Venezuela[edit]In the 1940s, D\u00edaz then moved to Venezuela and occasionally performed with the tropical orchestra Billo’s Caracas Boys, alongside Cheo Garc\u00eda. However, homesickness and caring for his ailing mother meant he moved back to his hometown, Gamero, a small village near San Basilio de Palenque.[1]In the 1970s, D\u00edaz returned to Venezuela, to work on a construction site in Caracas. A relative of the D\u00edaz Garc\u00eda family, Irene Mart\u00ednez, went to Medell\u00edn to meet with a lawyer to establish legal protection for the song. D\u00edaz could not be traced, and so Mart\u00ednez was credited as the songwriter. The song was covered multiple times, most notably by Carlos Vives who recorded the song for his album La Tierra del Olvido.Career revival and death[edit]D\u00edaz appeared in the 2012 documentary El Tamborero Embrujao, where he performed “Rosa”.[5] In 2014, Daniel Bustos, a philosophy graduate from Universidad Javeriana, established No Name Productions, a platform to raise awareness of the “cultural debt” owed to D\u00edaz by his fellow citizens through producing an album and documentary entitled El Orisha de la Rosa.[3]In 2012, an album entitled Mag\u00edn y Santiago was published in the Colombian indie scene. Later in 2015, Chilean label Konn Recordings (now based in Colombia), published the double album, Mag\u00edn D\u00edaz y el Sexteto Gamerano. The traditional music is on the first disc, whilst remixes of his songs were on the second, encompassing a wide range of genres such as house, dembow and future bass.[6]His first solo album El Orisha de la Rosa was released in 2017, with many artists such as Vives, Monsieur Perin\u00e9, Tot\u00f3 la Momposina and Celso Pi\u00f1a collaborating on the project.[7] The album was produced by Manuel Garcia-Orozco and Christian Castagno.[7] According to Afropop WorldWide, El Orisha de la Rosa was “the product of three years of research and recording”. D\u00edaz was a bearer of the Afro-Colombian culture, maintaining the country’s magnificent and tenacious traditional music, bullerengue, which, like the country’s Afro-Colombian communities, has survived near constant marginalization and discrimination over the centuries. D\u00edaz said, “Singing for me is as if someone injected me with life\u2026 If I do not sing, I’d die.”[8]At the 18th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, El Orisha de la Rosa won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Recording Package, but the award went to the art directors;[9]El Orisha de la Rosa had also been nominated for Best Folk Album, but lost out to Natalia Lafourcade.[10] He attended the ceremony, but was hospitalized at Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center on 23 November,[11] and died on 28 November at the age of 94.[12][a]Discography[edit]^ D\u00edaz’s date of birth has always been a source of contention, as to how old he actually was. An official passport belonging to D\u00edaz listed his birthday as 30 December 1922,[13] but at the time of his death, the family statement reported that he was 95 years old,[14] indicating he may have been born in 1921.References[edit]^ a b “Magin Diaz & Sexteto Gamero”.
