Each band member defends his style of the Blues

Javier Martín, veteran guitarist and president of the Málaga Blues Society, who also plays, bass and harmonica, once revealed. ‘Our repertoire is really varied because we have two singers and each one defends a style of Blues, because each one adapts to his own tastes and that is what makes the band so eclectic.’
