Benjamin Barrile Guitarist
Benjamin is the newest addition to the band.
He studied briefly in Jerez de la Frontera, a small
town in Andalucia, Spain. Benjamin returned to Toronto
in 2000, vowing to go back in pursuit
of the mysterious flamenco phenomenon known
as "duende," which is nearly the equivalent of
"soul" in blues or jazz.
His influences include: Gerardo Nuņez,
Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Diego Amador,
Strunz & Farah, Milton Nascimento, Gil Gilberto, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, among others.
