CD - 15 EURO
Il ritorno del grande bluesman argentino GABRIEL DELTA che pubblica
per l'etichetta italo-olandese Banksville Records il suo nuovo
lavoro discografico. Uno stile inconfondibile che coniuga Blues
elettrico con atmosfere latine, con la produzione di Paolo Baltaro e
un casting di tutto rispetto, in parte proveniente dalla sua antica
formazione, the Hurricanes, come il fratello Fernando Conejo alla
batteria, con l'aggiunta del pianista torinese Padox e lo stesso
Paolo Baltaro al basso. Un ritorno alle origini e allo stesso tempo
un grande passo in avanti, un disco che riassume tutto di un fiato
lo stile compositivo e la verve chitarristica di Gabriel Delta. che
dopo aver raccolto grandi consensi in terra natale si rivolge ora al
pubblico europeo all'insegna di una infinita fede nel linguaggio
Blues e di messaggi di grande profondità nei testi, rigorosamente in
lingua inglese.
The universality of the Blues is thus proven: Gabriel lives the
Blues as a language to communicate in the world of music, either
writing his own songs, which he sings in Spanish or English, or
providing original versions of old chestnuts.
Gabriel is a composer, singer and powerful guitar player who keeps
on attracting both the audience and specialized press with his CDs
and live performances. He is an eclectic musician who is in constant
motion and growth.
He possesses a special and personal style since he manages to
combine the tradition of the genre together with a modern sound,
expressing himself through an acoustic guitar as in an electric
band.
When he plays acoustically, he is closer to the origins and roots of
this music. Open tunings, slide guitars and finger-picking style
make for a highly intensive and emotional concert.
Gabriel Delta’s show is very powerful: Blues is mixed with funky,
swing, jump,. R&B and Latin rhythms, so that their very exciting
show becomes a real party.
Born in Buenos Aires, he received his first guitar from his parents
at the age of ten His approach to the blues began at age 16 when he
first listened to BBKing which changed his musical quest radically.
In 1994 he met the King of the Blues in person; an encounter that
left him a significant teaching as well as a signature in his
guitar.
Since then, he has been devoted to learning and improving his
knowledge of the various styles and sounds within .
In 1990 together with Fernando, his brother . founded the band Los
Delta Blues and with them he released 5 CDs, performing a lot of
concerts all over the country.
The Living Blues Magazine wrote:

style as any number of contemporary American bands.. The band has no
trouble at all with the musical language of the blues. JDK. Living
