Rudd, Roswell/Yomo Toro - El Espiritu Jibaro
SKU
17-SUNNYSIDE1174
Unexpected and FUN meeting of two musical superstars of two distinct idioms.
"It was Yomo Toro who brought the cuatro (a four string guitar) into the international arena – the funky jibaro (whom Robert Palmer, writing in The New York Times, called “the Puerto Rican Jimi Hendrix”) was a long time member of the Fania All Stars. When Roswell first heard Yomo he swooned, and they finally met in 2002 when Roswell sat in with Yomo at a concert in Haverstraw, NY. It was love at first sound and their collaboration had seeded. Following MaliCool and Blue Mongol, Roswell Rudd now collaborates with musicians of the Latin culture, and the fusion with his jazz idiom is perfect."
