I don't like slap, or I didn't. It seemed to always be gross. Grouse as in overdone, over the top, too much. Clanky string, playing fast for the sake of playing fast.
But THIS
has changed my mind. If someone who can understand spanish(?) would please clue me in to his name and where he is from that would be fantastic.

In the comments of the Youtube vid say this :
Hey! His name is Gustavo Dalfarra. He is Venezuelan and he lives in Barcelona, Spain! 
I am from Barcelona , Spain ,and see this bassist in a place near the subway . Other musicians begin playing in the streets , like the guitarist Stanley Jordan .
Hope someone see this talent and give a better place to listen to his music !! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
