5 April: The Bridge – Eduardo Martin & Ahmed Dickson

Calstock Arts are thrilled to announce that Eduardo Martin  & Ahmed Dickinson will perform at the Old Chapel this spring.  Ahmed and former mentor, grammy-nominated Eduardo, both amazing Cuban acoustic guitarists, perform their mix of jazz, flamenco and Cuban music!

The Bridge is Cuba’s most internationally acclaimed guitar duo. With their musical empathy, Eduardo Martín and Ahmed Dickinson transform their concerts into a vehicle that connects, incorporates and juxtaposes their different generations; and the spiritual journey that drives their thrilling yet soothing performances.

Like many other Cubans or Caribbean, they enjoy a natural sense of rhythm. The guitar is their favoured instrument, which idiomatically conveys all the melodic and rhythmic intricacies of South- America’s cultural diversity.

The Bridge is a compilation of the most alluring works for two guitars by Grammy nominee composer Eduardo Martín.

Here, classical styles and rock merge with son montunos; old Yoruba chants, feel-good rumbas, funk- boleros, new age tunes and cinematic pieces sit alongside Cuban tumbaos with slap bass.
