Gonzalo Bergara is an Argentinian singer, guitar player and song writer coming from Buenos Aires On a trio format he performs more than a hundred shows per year, which clearly gives the idea we are facing a high quality musician Currently Gonzalo is considered one of the most renowned gypsy jazz guitarists, but in this album has done a one hundred and eighty degrees turn of what he usually plays, opting for a contemporary electric blues repertoire in eleven own songs plus an original version of Jimmy Reed’s standard You Don’t Have To Go, backed by Mariano D’Andrea on bass and Maximiliano Bergara on drums All songs include different varied styles shadowed with the blues Gonzalo draws with a special stroke, a powerful profile and finally an attractive original personality, where his heartbreaking voice and his powerful guitar playing are displayed with a wild but, at the same time, exquisite taste You will find Texas blues, gospel, country and even some Jimi Hendrix’ influences, which go hand in hand along a collection of cool reliable songs as, not in vain Charly Baty once said Gonzalo Bergara could be considered as one of the most talented guitarists in the universe
