Music master Leo Brower is considered among the most relevant
musicians of the XX Century. I have the honor of being his friend
and I owe him almost my entire career. Brower listened to a
cassette with many of my themes about afro compositions and
very soon, he requested me to contact him. He was thinking to
invite me to the Guitar International Festival in Havana in 1992.
This is how it happens and this was the opening to the
professional world where I have had the privilege of playing with
the masters of the guitar as John Williams, David Russell, D’
Angelo, Vicente Amigo, Costa Corsiolis among others. Hence, is
not a secret my everlasting gratitude, respect and admiration to
this great person, the master Leo Brower.

Pablo Quintana is a Cuban luthier, from Matanzas, considered
among the best guitar makers in Cuba. What makes these guitars so
unique, is the fact that they are handmade, using premium woods,
so every instrument is “born” with its own characteristics, adaptable
to every single guitarist. They are powerful sounding guitars with
perfect intonation, projection, and sustain, which you can find in the
harmonics that improve the instrument’s timbre beauty.
I met Pablo in Cuba through guitar master Leo Brower, who
introduced me to this wonderful easy going, crystal sensible person
that had built my guitar, with which I have recorded and played all of
my concerts for the last ten years as a professional concert player.
Now, fourteen years after loosing track of Quintana, I meet with him
in the U.S.A. in Florida still making excellent “Pablo” guitars and
giving the world a chance to listen to and get a special master piece
which are “Pablo Quintana “guitars.

I had said about Delio, in the CD “RETOVERSIONES”, that
to freeze an Image and Time with a single dose of Light
more than an Art is a Talent, and he does this as though
he has an agreement with the silhouettes and shadows.
This professional photographer, with special sensibility, is
responsible for my promotional pictures and CD art.
Thanks Delio, for the pledge and love you dedicate to any
project that we decide to do, always making art the result.
If you visit his website (www.deliophotostudio.com) , then
you can corroborate my opinion.
