Vibraphone - Flamenco & Hip Hop : Alfredo Chacon!
Guys!
Our last newbie's name is "Achakon", from Spain. I made a little search, and I came across some great vids with a guy named Alfredo Chacon. I'm not yet sure it's him, but this guy is smoking!
A few links for you:
- Cruceta Flamenco: a spanish band mixing flamenco and hip hop, AND including vibes in an "honorable" role. This reminds me sooo much the band "Jaleo" my vibist friend Norbert used to play in: I love this music!

- Same guy, on the drum with hip hop dance, and really good music:

- Just a little bonus : killing conga solo (for you Dana!): yo!

Alfredo Chacon, por favor!
I'm so happy: I was right! It was Alfredo Chacon our new member "Achakon"! And guess, he's also our new subscriber!
He allowed me to past and copy parts of our email exchanges:

Hi Marie,
Yes, Im Alfredo Chacon from Cruceta Flamenco. Actually that's the only thing I'm doing right now with the vibes and the video in their myspace can also be found on mine which is www.myspace.com/alfredochacon.
Even though I started playing vibes 25 years ago, it has never been my main instrument. But at the moment I'm writing music for my new project, playing vibes (you will hear it on myspace as soon as it's finished)
I'm practicing as much as I can and also watching videos on youtube. And I was looking for the scores of Gary Burton's No More Blues (Chega de Saudade) when I found your page. Then I saw Tony playing Bluessett and I love that piece too.
So, do you have those scores? or maybe know where I could find and buy them?
Thanks.
Saludos desde Madrid.
