ABOUT
Lluís Gómez is one of the few musicians dedicated completely to this magnificent instrument: banjo. For years he has travelled to the United States to learn it’s secrets from the most eminent banjo players in bluegrass and folk music. He composes his own music, runs workshops on the banjo and publishes articles in specialized magazines in the USA.
In Spain his first teachers were Sedo García and Ricky Araiza, while in France he studied with Jean Marie Redon. He has received classes from the American banjo players Bill Keith, Tony Trischka, Pete Wernick, Noam Pikelny and Jayme Stone.
He has shared the stage with Bill Keith, Tony Trischka,, Jayme Stone, Alex Hargreaves, Mike Barnett, Jean Marie Redon, Tom Nechville, the Carter Brothers, and Gerry O'Connor amongst others.
Throughout his musical career he has been in many bands playing folk, bluegrass and celtic music and recently he has played in groups which play manouche or gypsy-jazz.
He is the musical director of the Al Ras Acoustic Music Festival, which is the only one of its kind in our country. This festival has created much interest in bluegrass and old-time music in Spain.
Lluís is also the author with Toni Giménez of Manual de iniciación al banjo de cinco cuerdas, the very first banjo book written in Spanish and Catalan.
