DANNY BOY BLUES BAND & PABLO SANPA<\/div>\n
Danny Boy, harmonica and vocals (Valencia), and Pablo Sanpa, guitar (Madrid), two of Spain\u2019s leading blues artists, have come together on this occasion to present their new show.<\/div>\n
Their collaboration, forged over more than a decade, results in a solid and vibrant live performance, in which they distil the most authentic essence of the blues and R&B.<\/div>\n
Their repertoire spans various styles of traditional African-American music, from the sounds of Chicago and Texas to the more danceable Jump Blues of the West Coast.<\/div>\n
They are accompanied by Fran Moreno (Altea) on bass and John Craver (Santa Cruz, California) on drums, completing a line-up that stands out for its energy, chemistry and respect for the genre.<\/div>\n
