South County - Music of Cuba
Here’s an album by the brilliant Tres player Maykel Elizarde who made his name with the group Trio Trovarroco’. This is his first solo album which was recorded in 2014 and released last September.
It’s all I have been listening to for the past few months and I just had to post it. There’s a chance it might get taken down but I want everyone who loves the Tres to buy this album, so I’m posting it anyway...
It’s available on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify. Please buy this record!
If you’re unsure at first listen, skip ahead to 33:41 to the tune ‘Buenos Aires’ and check out Maykel’s interplay with his group and his blistering solo. I assure you you’ll be hooked!
