Description

Old school songs from Latin America with a showman's zesty flair. Starting as a troubadour in the streets of Harvard Square at age 19, his repertoire now includes ballads, the romantic strains of pre-Revolutionary Cuba familiar from the Buena Vista Social Club, and the social justice tunes of the New Song movement. Despite his extremely Italian name he does not hail from Rome, Abruzzo or Venezia. “I am from the Future Republic of Puerto Rico,” Gian Carlo says. "I sing in Spanish, I accompany myself on the guitar and since I've been here for so many years, the nuances of both cultures are in me and I use that as a tool to break barriers between cultures." Pop's Washtub Band opens in support.
