Joe Taino - July 25

Joe Taino

Joe was born in Santurce, a section of San Juan, Puerto Rico. He grew up listening to American music on the radio because it was all his uncle listened to. He is a guitarist, and his much-admired style blends blues, country, and rockabilly with R&B and complex jazz rhythms and voicings, all with a twist of Latin flavor.
