By Richard Harrington By Richard Harrington January 26, 2003 'I'll never forget it.' Ry Cooder is talking about his first encounter with a guitar, more than 50 years ago. The guitar was a three-quarter-size four-string tenor.

Cooder was 4 years old, well into a yearlong recuperation from an accident that had cost him his left eye. 'I was lying in bed one night, and the man who brought it over was a violinist who was a friend of my parents,' Cooder recalls, and suddenly it's the night before. 'He comes into the bedroom and he sets this thing down on my stomach, as you would if somebody's lying in bed on their back, and he strums the strings... And that was all you need to know. Because there's something about a wood box, especially the figure eight... Trovare Crack E Serialization. You know there's something going on here.

'I couldn't tell you what I thought, but I can remember the feeling of it.' That feeling of discovery mixed with mystery has resonated and reverberated throughout Ry Cooder's career. The virtuoso slide guitarist, multi-culti mixer and film scorer extraordinaire has traveled a six-string highway from cult-level solo work to the Buena Vista Social Club, the biggest phenomenon in the history of world music.

Yet Cooder has always been discomfited by the spotlight. He toured minimally to promote his own albums, and the man who brought together the venerable coterie of aging Cuban musicians was, by choice, barely noticed as the Buena Vista Social Club traveled the world. Sitting and playing guitar in the back row of the orchestra, next to his drumming son Joachim, Cooder was eventually introduced each night, but almost as an afterthought. 'Ry has that enormous confidence that certain people have that is totally masked in modesty,' says director Walter Hill, eight of whose films have been scored by Cooder since 1980. 'He's genial and deferential and many times plays down his own efforts.... Ry's aware how good he is, but he doesn't feel a need to shout about himself.' That's not unlike Cooder's playing, which has always been marked by restraint and subtlety, reflecting a rare sensitivity to the notion that the notes you don't play may be more important than those you do.

At the same time, Cooder is blessed with a wonderfully loose sense of swing and syncopation that imbues his music with a genial warmth and emotional depth lacking in much popular music. It's what has made Cooder one of the most respected musicians in America -- even if his profile isn't commensurate with his stature. Until this week's release of 'Mambo Sinuendo,' a mesmerizing collection of electric guitar duets with legendary Cuban guitarist Manuel Galban, he hadn't released an album under his own name since 1993's 'A Meeting by the River.'
