Gato Azul with Sandra Melo
Gato Azul is an exciting new instrumental quartet and the latest project from the industrious Italian, Francesco Turrisi, who is now developing a reputation as an accordionist and frame drummer par excellence to match his well-documented piano capabilities. Joining him are percussionist Robbie Harris, whose bodhran sounds remarkably at home in this rhythmic terrain, the mighty jazz double bass of Michael Coady, and Lucas Gonzalez, an exceptional Argentinian guitarist now resident in Dublin, who brings authenticity and a flamencoesque brio to the table. They are joined here by special guest, Brazilian singer Sandra Melo.
