Along the last two decades Spanish blues fans have been lucky to enjoy with legions of excellent harmonica players, gifted with an enviable technique and mastery resources, such as Antonio Serrano or Joan Pau Cumellas among others who, although they are not properly blues players, have taken some blues influences along their musical career But if we specially refer to blues music, we will also find excellent blues harmonica players, such as Maurici Morera, Víctor Puertas, Little Jordi, Tota or David Sánchez in Catalonia or harp monsters like Marcos Coll, Danny Boy or Mingo Balaguer in different places of Spain But I have not mention the most emblematic one, Mr Ñaco Goñi He is the quintessential blues harmonica player, thanks to his charismatic personality, his amazing technique, fat tone, phasing, his creativity and self-confidence Ñaco Goñi is a musician who was born to play blues and these three albums faithfully reflect it Three essential records to become familiar with this quiet calm man, who blows harp as few musicians can do, a man who has really got the blues and gives them to the audience with an easy but at the same time, very passionate way You will find along the three albums the best blues that is now played in Spain He has also recruited some of the great national blues musicians, such as Francisco Simón, Tonky de la Peña, Kapo Alburquerque, Phineas Sánchez, Kike Jambalaya, Armando Marcé Edu Manazas or Malcolm Scarpa among others Three different cds, one recorded on studio including own songs and some Muddy Waters’, Little Walter’s and Joe McCoy’s versions, the second one recorded live, follows the same path than the previous one, with Eddie Boyd’s, Eddie C Campbell’s and T-Bone Walker’s versions and the third one with a compilation of songs from other previous albums covering from 1984 to 2000 In short words, genuine traditional blues, good sensible fans will certainly enjoy if they get them in their record collections
