Another One for Jose Gonzalez

Another plug for José Gonazalez. This shot's from the Intonation Festival on June24th, 2006. He played a great set, including a cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop." This worked surprisingly well considering the original is an electronic trip-hop song being recreated on an acoustic guitar. I also spoke with him after his set. I was curious to find out how his Argentinian family ended up in Göteborg, Sweden. Turns out there was a coup back in the mid-seventies and his family immigrated to avoid the socio-political tumult. Ouch!

I found him quite cool and approachable, just how I would imagine an Argentinian to be, and he spoke great Swedish to boot.
