[/quote] Hi! Here things are getting very difficult... There's no music culture and now there's no money too so... Everybody wants to move somewhere (including me). There's a lot of very good musicians here but there's no opportunities. I am lucky to live as a professional but I have to combine more than 15 bands and do some bass lessons...

Fagen Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have had the pleasure of listening to Miki play many times with various different groups in a number of styles, and I can say with certainty that he is one of the best young bass-players in the Barcelona region - and possibly even in the whole of Spain. I have been playing the bass for many years as an enthusiastic amateur, and enjoy all kinds of music from many different eras. I think that Miki has an exceptionally wide knowledge and appreciation of music, and it is obvious when you listen to him that he is drawing on an impressive range of musical styles (funk, blues, soul, acid-jazz, fusion, jazz, etc). He is an extraordinarily well-rounded bass player, and let's hope he has a spectacular career in front of him. Good luck Miki! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
