Jose Gonzalez

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
Swedish musician Jose Gonzalez (yes, that's correct!) builds songs out of rhythmic patterns he plays on his classical guitar, making what may be the world's quietest dance music, with enigmatic, gentle vocals. Jose joins host David Garland to perform and talk about his songs in the WNYC studio. Also featured are recordings by young British guitarist James Blackshaw, whose finger-picked 12-string instrumentals are both meditative and energizing.
