Two of Cuba's greatest guitarists will be bringing their new album tour to Cornwall later this month.
Ahmed Dickinson and Eduardo Martin will be bringing music from their new album to The Acorn Theatre in Penzance on Saturday, April 16.
Martin, the Grammy-nominated and multiple lifetime achievement award-winning Cuban guitarist and composer, joined forces with fellow award-winning, London-based Cuban musician, Ahmed
Dickinson to create their new album ‘The Bridge.'
Launching an expansive tour of the UK and Ireland, Martin and Dickinson will showcase a carefully curated compilation of Eduardo’s most alluring works for two guitars, where rock merges with son montunos; old Yoruba chants, feel-good rumbas and funk- boleros, with cinematic pieces sitting alongside Cuban tumbaos with slap bass.

"Playing his music gives me a sense of musical sincerity.
