Endorse Julio Valdes Fuentes
check_circleVerifiedJulio, constant acoustic and artitistic qualities. He knows perfectly how to improvise (each time something new) and he knows too when improvisation is not necessary.

Julio can play with a constant sound quality and with ever surprising imagination all musical material submited to his attention. A very rare talent inspired by such a positive attitude.

Une prestation exceptionnelle: l'improvisateur sait toujours trouver les notes et le phrasé qui servent le thème et qui en même temps révèle sa personnalité.

Julio Valdes Fuentes is a great musician: easy to say, but I'm sorry, this is the truth. He is an astonishing soloist (improviser) with a bright sound palette. In addition (it's a professional rule) he is a great accompanist. He brings happyness and expression in the music.
Ne manquez pas ce gars là si vous aimez la musique ! - check_circleVerified
Julio est un musicien exceptionnel. Son violon joue librement, toujours juste même dans les passages périlleux; l'éventail de son talent commerce avec la musique traditionnelle cubaine dont il restitue si bien les mélodies et les danses, et se poursuit dans le jazz où il déploie toutes ses ressources rythmiques, où il peut se permettre toutes les audaces ; Julio est surprenant et pourtant il transmet à son auditeur des sentiments communs à toute l'humanité.
