Guitarra! Musica de Cuba-Espana

---

A Migrations 2010 Event

A virtuosic phenomenon in the concert halls of Cuba, the brilliant young guitarist Ahmed Dickinson Cardenas plays exceptionally beautiful music covering the gamut of Cuban styles, from guajiras to chachachas, boleros to danzones, son to mambo.

With dynamic percussionist Hammadi Rencurrell and British-Spanish violinist Emma Blanco, Trio Mestizo performs intimate and majestic Cuban rhythms fluently underpinned with the exhilarating harmonies and melodies of North American jazz. A magnificently thrilling set.

With fiery acoustic guitars, slapping cajon and bubbling bass, El Patio Primo's flawless, high-energy rumba-flamenco (think Gypsy Kings meet Ojos de Brujo) delivers a rousing post-flamenco dance groove, drenched in romance and the spirit of rumba gitana.

Ahmed Dickinson Cardenas: 'You are left with the sensation of being touched to the core by exquisitely played pieces.' Songlines
