Rayito

Anybody heard of Rayito? He went sort of commercial pop but is an excellent player. Here is a clip of him playing part of a taranta.

Looks like an extremely low action on the guitar in that vid. Interesting taranta--more upbeat than I am accustomed to hearing.

He's awesome. There are some other videos of him on YouTube. If only he didn't switch to pop...

Look here this is a Conde and looks like the one he plays in the pepsi vid

There are photos of him as a child with Tomatito and Paco! San Paco!

Wow it's really beautiful. Any chance for a tab of this one? Could be the next challenge...

Remember, almost her entire life shes being an entertainer. All that marketing about her person - which is induced by others, not her - doesnt cross out that fact, and that shes actually good at what shes doing.
And for two, i would rather invite booty-shaking Spears to my party than PdL with his grimmy faces

I never heard of him. Looks like he completely disappeared from the music scene.
As a kid he was at least as good as Jeronimo Maya.

RE: Rayito (in reply to devilhand)

for me, it is not surprising Jeronimo, though he went off the rails with this music for a while, is still a serious artist in the genre, arguably with more depth to his toque now, vs the other kid that was just doing Note for note PDL.

He's a producer these days and I guess plays all kinds of genres. He has an instagram page he regularly updates. Still plays an MC Conde.

I just googled. Discog says the same thing. He co-wrote many latin hits even at a young age.

https://www.discogs.com/artist/497740-Antonio-Rayito-Rayo

One of his CD is priced at over 100 euros on amazon. One CD for 100 euros. Seriously?

bra, anything overpriced on amazon or eBay are scams. You pay the money you get nothing and then have to make claims for refund and insurance may or may not pay out. That's been going on as long as the ex Nigerian prince needs you to help him transfer his fortune via your bank details. I once saw my own CD being sold at $400
