-”My music is essentially based on the sensitivity and variability of my present. I do not play any so-called new-style music; I just have my way of improvising and composing. I do not differentiate between musical styles and trends; I play folk, classical, rock, jazz, and improvised tunes alike.” – Cristóbal Rey
