In many ways Pure Acoustics III will be even more varied than the two previous Pure Acoustics concerts in 2015 and 2016. Alongside new compositions the programme will include new arrangements (reggae, samba, bachata, cumbia) of old songs – some famous, some less well known – because this time Tomaž Domicelj will be joined on stage by two of his friends from the Canary Islands: Toñín Corujo and Yarel Hernández (the latter originally from Cuba). The two have played together in a quartet for five years but this is the first time they perform as a trio with Domicelj in Slovenia. “Tomaž is like a well-preserved Alpine steam locomotive, Yarel’s runs on the guitar are like the fresh breeze from the wings of a Caribbean butterfly, and Toñín is solid, deliberate and calm… yet unpredictable, like a volcano in the Canaries…” – to quote Hans-Georg Flack’s description of the trio. Domicelj himself adds: “I call our trio – not entirely seriously – HEAVY MADERA, because the music we play is as hard-hitting as any heavy metal band but we play it on acoustic or wooden instruments. Madera is the Spanish word for wood.”
