Germán López is one of the most internationally distinguished timple virtuosos. Since his professional beginnings, López has been exploring the sonorous possibilities of this diminutive 5-string instrument, with roots in the Canary Islands. López’s 2022 album ALMA is a monumental project recorded across continents, featuring guests such as Richard Bona, Seckou Keita, Lila Downs and more. Now López reimagines ALMA as a performance project made up of musical collaborators performing this boldly original music, and connecting live audiences with flavorful melodies, rhythms, and Canary Island soul.
