The Gran Canaria timple player, Germán López, closed this Saturday the "Timpleteando" days, organized by the Canarian Timple Association in the Casa-Museo del Timple in Teguise. Germán, who presides over the association, was accompanied by a great Cuban musician, Yuniel Rascón. A virtuoso of flamenco guitar.
Germán López, a prominent student of the always loved and remembered José Antonio Ramos, delighted the public with a concert with fresh airs, something very common in each of his concerts where he risks to the maximum. In addition, López, making use of his good humor in the presentations of each of his compositions, easily manages to connect with the public.
For this concert, he masterfully managed, with the complicity of the guitarist Yuniel, to fuse genres as disparate as the Canarian root song with some of the variant categories of the Palos del Flamenco, where the Tajaraste merged with the Bulería, the Polca with the Rumba or the Malagueña with El Fandango. Fusions where the rhythms vibrate with much more intensity with extraordinary finishes to which other creations are also linked that have served as a source of inspiration when composing. During the more than 90 minutes of the concert, Germán and Yuniel intertwined some new creations such as A Punto de Nieve, Muelle Viejo, Zoco Negro or Gorée, leaving for the end "La Graciosera", dedicated to the Eighth Island and whose inspiration arose the first time the timple player visited La Graciosa. The enthusiastic audience, standing up, asked them to continue, putting an end to the concert by performing two encores entitled Smooth Criminal and the Isa del Parralito. After the concert, both Germán and Yuniel shared impressions with the public, answering each of the questions they raised.
