What we do

I joined MikeO's blues project 5 years ago, & what would be the first blues band in cuba "sociedad havana blues" started.
After a few changes in my life, MIkeO & me are on another project this time called "bbblues". What we intend to do is to blues-style sing the newest english poetry.
MikeO already did that with young cuban poetry within a project called "Van Gogh'.
The "Van Gogh" project results were amazing (well, at least amazing to me). I've never heard such a well driven marriage between lyrics & music. I guess Blues is one of the best music styles for mixing up with poetry.
"Van Gogh" songs was full of beatifull images, sang with feeling and full of good blues too.
So I'm really looking forward for see how this project develops. For the beginning, we're workin in two poems:

• "No convictions" from Simon Armitage
• "In my country" from Jackie Kay
  

So far, so good!!
