El Guincho

Tuesday, December 02, 2008

Born in Spain's Carnary Islands and based in Barcelona, Pablo Diaz-Reixa is a sample-mad studio wiz better known as El Guincho. His debut album, "Alegranza!", compiles beats and loops from African, Carribean, South Asian and other genres. The resulting sound can be disorienting, manic -- and blissful. El Guincho joins us in studio.

El Guincho performs tonight at Le Poisson Rouge. More information here.

    Where's Q-Tip? There's no mention of him being on the show, but this morning there was. Please bring him back if he was canceled!
