Guillermo Portabales y sus Guitarras -Viva Portabales, Gema 1976

Now this is something really good. Guillermo Portabales is
a hero. I love his bright and dynamic music, Guillermo’s
guitarstrokes are so firm and sparkling, nothing can compare.
Where do you find such guitarist with such a voice ?
Absolute fantastic collection of his songs. I can even cope
with his version of Guantanamera, a song I use to avoid
like a toothache. One of Cuban’s biggest.

tracks;

1 Cumbiamba
2 De 1920
3 A la orilla del cauto
4 Nostalgia guajira
5 Asi es mi guajira
6 Tristeza guajira
7 Oye mi son
8 Guantanamera
9 Junto al rio
10 El arroyo que murmura
11 Cuando sali de Cuba
12 Yo te canto Puerto Rico

    Thanks ! Guillermo is very good !!
    It is a shame that he died so young, run down by a car when he was leaving a show that he had just finished.
    Any more by G.B. in the future ??
    Cheers

    Thanks! You said it: great guitar licks and a great voice. Of course a great groove as well.

    what album is this you tube video song from, that is really hitting… but all i can find is a remastered version devoid of soul and feeling.
