"You are left with the sensation of being touched to the core by exquisitely played pieces" Jan fairley - Songlines
Ahmed Dickinson's love affair with the music of Nico Rojas began when they both played at the International Guitar Festival in Havana, Cuba in 2000. After approaching the composer at the festival to express how much he enjoyed his music and would love to play some of it, Ahmed was invited to Nico's house. It came as a surprise to Ahmed once there to learn that the great majority of ico's work remained unpublished and unrecorded. A surprise not least because Nico can count Beny Mor, Bebo Valdez, Chucho Valdez, Tito Puente, Frank Emilio Flyn, Leo Brouwer, Csar Portillo de la Luz, Adolfo Guzman, and Wynton Marsalis amongst his many fans, past and present.
