I first got aquainted with Guillermo Portabales in 1996 through
El Carretero. It was so impressive I started looking for more.
Found some elpees and some other cd’s over the years.
All wonderful stuff I keep playing over and over.
Better listen if you don’t know Guillermo ..

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.
