I was there, with my partner. This european guy keep a strong relationship with brazil, singing our a little about reality with a caliente spanish ascent. His music have touchs of spanish, french, portunol and english. Everything was wonderful, from his most knowed songs [as king of the bongo] to the flamenco guy, making the guitar scream.
The funny point was about politcs: he reacted bad to george bush, as 90% of the people around. That made me think, cause the artistic society have always a respectable position in relation to the politics.
At his music you can find critics to the worst side of the american politcs, and some of the best swing you can find at any moder music. If you don´t know him, I will advice you to listen that CD:
That is a good advice to GFYfers that loves good music!
