“It is refreshing, inspiring and surprising to discover
something so totally new could emerge from the low-tech combination of
traditional acoustic instruments. What is particularly interesting is that
Barcelona Bluegrass Band combines harmonica and Cajon percussion elements with
traditional Bluegrass instruments in driving and fun way. The blended virtuosity
of these fine musicians sets a new standard for the acoustic music of today.”
- Tom Nechville, banjo inventor
