The Bridge is Cuba’s most internationally acclaimed guitar duo. With their musical empathy, Eduardo Martín and Ahmed Dickinson transform their concerts into a vehicle that connects, incorporates and juxtaposes their different generations; and the spiritual journey that drives their thrilling yet soothing performances.

Like many other Cubans or Caribbean, they enjoy a natural sense of rhythm. The guitar is their favoured instrument, which idiomatically conveys all the melodic and rhythmic intricacies of South- America's cultural diversity. 

The Bridge is a compilation of the most alluring works for two guitars by Grammy nominee composer Eduardo Martín. Here, classical styles and rock merge with son montunos; old Yoruba chants, feel-good rumbas, funk- boleros, new age tunes and cinematic pieces sit alongside Cuban tumbaos with slap bass.

Eduardo Martin

Grammy nominee Eduardo Martin, is one of the most prominent contemporary guitar composers around.

Hailing from Havana and renowned for his refined guitar playing, Ahmed Dickinson combines traditional Cuban rhythms and classical genres, plus harmonies deeply penetrated by jazz, to evoke the bohemian '50s sound of his home town.
