This video is just amazing: two masters of musica Cubano playing a duet in Stockholm, Sweden. It's impossible to watch this without feeling the decades these guys have put in along the way. Everything about the performance is beautiful and perfect. Such timing!
Cachao especially has such an effortless technique. At the beginning, he's barely bowing the bass when he plays. Then for his final solo, he's almost using the bow as a drumstick against the neck, slapping away and digging in.
But the best part is the very end, when they finish and look at each other. Bebo points at his buddy and gives him this "You're the man" smirk that's totally priceless.
