​Professional musician and teacher, German López entertained all with his timple, a fully-resonant diminutive 5-stringed instrument from the Canary Islands. Germán was accompanied by guitarist Antonio Toledo at the North Tahoe Event Center in Kings Beach as well as several Arts For The Schools students. The performance harnessed the grit of Spanish flamenco, the structure of west African rhythms, the flourishing spirit of jazz, and an innovative 21st century approach to performing “island music.” Performing several songs from his latest album Canela y Limón for audience members and students alike.
