Juanito Marquez is one of the most influential Cuban guitarists of all time.
He left an incredible legacy for his guitar playing and his arranging skills that graced recordings including Omara Portuondo, Elena Burke, Julio Iglesias, Jose Feliciano and Gloria Estefan.
On this album, Juanito brings out the playful virtuosity of an ensemble instrument doubling horn lines with his guajeos/montunos as support to the rhythm section.
This album is fascinating for his unique arranging technique which features the guitar ahead of the piano as the principal soloist and harmonic instrument.
