Compadres - Oscar Lopex and James Keelaghan November 25, 2007

It is a wonderful occasion when these two individual soloists and multiple award-winning guitar players and friends team up as the Compadres. They describe their music as 'celtino', a distinctive blend of Celtic and Latino flourishes that together create an entirely new hybrid. The music from Compadres ranges from fiery instrumentals to heavenly harmonies to the highly danceable. Keelaghan and Lopez have been performing off and on as Compadres since 1993. Their first CD together in 1997 was a Juno nominated critics' favourite. Info: www.whistlerartscouncil.com. Tickets available through www.ticketmaster.ca or Millennium Place at 604-935-8410
