Gabriel Delta & The Hurricanes - Blues / Roots
Music / Latin band from Argentina / Italy. Gabriel is an Argentinian guitar
player
but at present he lives in Europa (Italy). In 2003 Gabriel formed the group
Gabriel Delta & The Hurricanes. With his full musical brother, Fernando "Conejo" Trombetta,
he started a new period in his career. His very energetic spirit, characteristic
Latin touch and personal musical style enabled him to play over 200 gigs a
year. During some of these events, Gabriel Delta & The Hurricanes have
shared the stage with great artists, such as B. B. King, Tony Coleman, Otis
Grand, Chris Duarte, The Blues Brothers Band, Kenny Neal, Sugar Blue, Roy Rodgers,
Watermelon Slim, Mick Abrahams, Taj Mahal, etc., and had a great success from
both - the audience and the critics.
Gabriel Delta & Hurricanes show is
very powerful. Their blues is mixed with Latin rhythm, funky, swing, jump,
and R&B, so that their very exciting
show becomes a real party. The universality of the blues is thus proven: Gabriel
uses the blues as a language to communicate in the world of music, either writing
his own songs, which he sings in Spanish or English, or providing original
versions of old chestnuts. When Gabriel plays acoustically, he is closer to
the origins and roots of this music. Open tunings, slide guitars and finger-picking
style make for a highly intensive and emotional concert.
At present, Gabriel
is testimonial of the workshop of the stringed instrument maker "Graal",
who made a guitar bearing his name. His music has been performed and appreciated
all over the world including Argentina, Brazil,
Mexico, Cuba, Canada, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria,
Poland and the U.S.A, thus showing great interest towards his music and considering
him one of the few current representatives of Latin American blues.
