You have already mentioned him! Yes he is good, and he was good with his previous band Mano Negra. How about Arca?
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

could his name be "Madjid Fahem"??
the man is a genius player...
boy oh boy, around the 3 min mark...
yes, you are right ... it's Madjid Fahem ... he plays really brilliant. Here is a quote from  Manu Chao: "... ich brauche mich gar nicht mit Madjid Fahem aus meiner Band zu vergleichen. Er ist ein Monster, einer der besten Gitarristen der Welt ..."

This guy is in Europe from May, if you get chance you won't be disappointed. A drop dead guitar master, and dedicated to the Deep South blues, in a thoroughly entertaining evening !
C.W.Stoneking - look him up on youtube, but his new 'electric guitar' shows are incredible!

I know we're all Tracker fixated right now, but having seen this incredible artist live last night I do implore you to check him out if he plays a town near you. (There's a yt link to one of the great songs he performs live, Stoneking is quite unique.)

Flech, I found two of his older album in Greece (nice price too) , but not his latest. Looking forward for his live appearence. Thanks for this fine suggestion!

Nice, I haven't got King Hokum yet, but Jungle Blues is certified madness ! The live show is incredible, he's added dates all over Europe now, I hope you enjoy :)

Edit - and the new album is fantastic too -Gon Boogaloo- in true Knopfler/Fletcher fashion, it was recorded and pressed to vinyl entirely via analogue means and you can really hear it, there's some beautiful distortion in the vocals that give it old world charm.

Despite it getting lukewarm reviews, I absolutely love this album from beginning to end. I actually saw this band perform most of the songs on this album before it came out to about 100 people and knew they were destined for something bigger. Sure enough, they're now a lot more well known.

Dan this is fantastic! It recreates the  80ies sound perfectly! So many groups come to mind and importantly one of my favorites from that era Cocteau twins. . Still have to listen to it more times to make up my mind if there are great songs or it is just the feelings and memories  that this sound stirs in me. Thanks!

Great, glad you liked it! The first time I heard them, I was reminded of early era music from The Cure. That's the trouble with bands like this. Sometimes they mimic their predecessors a bit too much. I still think in this case they have presented something truly unique though.
