Claude Bourbon will impress on his guitar on August 2nd in the Kunsthalle Kühlungsborn with blues, Spanish and Middle Eastern music styles.
Claude Bourbon is known throughout Europe and America for his amazing performances on the guitar, taking blues, Spanish and Middle Eastern musical styles into uncharted territory.
It is very difficult to describe the almost endless mix of different influences in Claude Bourbon's playing, all blending together as he moves from a classical opening across a whole continent of cultural roots, from the Balearics to the Balkans and then across to the Mississippi Delta to blend seamlessly into music that would not have been out of place in the courts of emperors and kings.
Claude Bourbon lets his songs float through the audience as if on a journey through life, taking in the different flavors of Europe and beyond. His Spanish blues evolves into gypsy music, moves to Eastern Europe, with a touch of Paco de Lucia, Delta Blues and much more.
Some of his musical influences allow the audience a fascinating insight into the world of this remarkable guitarist now living in the UK: Paco de Lucia, Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple, Joaquin Rodrigo, JJ Cale, J.S. Bach....
Bourbon has played at Glastonbury Festival, Isle of Wight Festival, Colne Great British & Blues Festival, Rock O'Z Arene, Avenches, Switzerland and many others.
He has shared stages in Europe and the USA with countless musicians such as: Calvin Russel, Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore), Jan Akkerman (Focus), Steve Grossman (Miles Davis), Herbie Armstrong (Van Morisson), Jose Barrenese Dias and many others
