<p><a href= "http://www.patreon.com/banjopodcast">www.patreon.com/banjopodcast</a></p> <p>In this episode, host Keith Billik chats with Pau Barjau of Che Apalache. Pau has a very interesting job, interpreting rhythms and sounds that are not typically heard on the banjo! Hear about his unlikely path going from a teenage bass player in Mexico City, to an aspiring banjo player in Buenos Aires, to recording a Grammy-nominated album in the United States with Bela Fleck producing. </p> <p>Che Apalache on the web:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cheapalache.com">www.cheapalache.com</a></p> <p>Video Links:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQOUJ0w9UD4">"The Dreamer" official video</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pzkGYbPqto">"El Tilingo Lingo" (example of harp technique)</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8T7DMwo8OM">"Kilometro 11" (example of Chamame style)</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo6E56_eBbE&list=RDjo6E56_eBbE&index=1"> "Bombo Leguero" (demonstration of traditional Latin American percussion instrument)</a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.deeringbanjos.com">Sponsored by Deering Banjos</a></p> <p>Email Picky Fingers:</p> <p><a href= "mailto:pickyfingersbanjopodcast@gmail.com">pickyfingersbanjopodcast@gmail.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for listening!</p> <p> </p>
