Cheo Hurtado - Seis Guayanes

Review by Yolanda Chambers

Seis Guayanes is an album that showcases the incredible talents of Venezuelan musician Cheo Hurtado. This album is a true celebration of Venezuelan culture, featuring a variety of traditional instruments and styles.

From the very first track, listeners are transported to a world of intricate rhythms and beautiful melodies. Hurtado's skill on the cuatro, a traditional Venezuelan instrument, is truly impressive. His playing is both technical and expressive, and he manages to capture the essence of each song perfectly.

The album features a range of different styles, from the upbeat and danceable "Seis por derecho" to the more contemplative "Canción para un niño en la calle". Each track is expertly crafted, with a keen attention to detail and a deep respect for tradition.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La gaita de las flores", a beautiful and haunting piece that showcases Hurtado's virtuosity on the cuatro. The track is a perfect example of the beauty and complexity of traditional Venezuelan music.

Summary by Yolanda Chambers

Seis Guayanes is a must-listen for anyone interested in traditional Venezuelan music. Hurtado's skill and passion shine through on every track, making this album a true masterpiece.
