Carlos del Junco plays the harmonica like nobody else in the world. Born in Havana, Cuba,
Carlos is a pioneer of the 10-hole diatonic harmonica.

Throughout his concert and festival performances with his four piece band, you may hear an
eclectic palette of jazz, blues, swing, Latin, funky New Orleans and the occasional African,
hip-hop, and ska melody. As a singer, you will hear a voice almost as unique as his harp
playing as Carlos offers fresh renditions of classic blues and jazz standards.

While respected as a blues artist, the music played by harmonica maestro del Junco
transcends all categorization into sheer artistry bringing musical credibility to what has still
been considered by many, a fringe folk instrument. His command of the harmonica is
absolute – he plays with all the subtleties and nuances of a classical violinist to the edgier
sounds of a blues rocker.

Carlos fuses his respect for tradition with a fresh, innovative, and truly modern approach.
Audiences are blown away at every performance and return for more at show after show.
