FHF #59 returns to Chile and digs deep to the South American Prog scene with Cristian Larrondo of Mar de Robles. If you have not heard of these guys, you should. Cristian provides the low end with a variety of instruments, of which one, is a Chapman Stick.



Seriously - go to this link and check out this little bit. Riiiiiiiping.

For those of you griping about not having FHF in English, here is a great article on Mar de Robles. This is an old article, but it will give you an appreciation of Cristian's music.

Tom Diaz leads a really good session with Cristian, turning us on to his influences, the tightrope that is working with laptops in live environments and what makes him tick. Another great session featuring the wealth of talent in South American - good show Tom and Cristian!

That man deserves more room for his X fret!

Yeah, that low bit with the GoPro sounds wicked cool.

Great show. (Gene, I expect you to suddenly start speaking fluent Spanish at any moment).

Thanks so much for opening the door for more exposure for these artists. It's great to see the cultural impact of the instrument through the hands of the players all over the world.

This is the fruit of the tree Tony planted and Cides watered...

Thanks Greg. I had no idea there was so much bitchen music coming out of Chile and Mexico City! Now I know!

We live in the same city, He is my closer reference about stick playing. Lead the session was great (anyway i can do better i think) By the way, the night before the session we were playing at a friend's house hahahaa

Tom, you arrival on the scene is perfectly timed. So glad you're here to help introduce these players to us.
