Joaquin Gustav isn't going to play an exciting show as it's neither his style nor his purpose. What he will give you is an hour of Argentinian romance that people have been enjoying in Second Life for six or seven years. Listening to Joaquin is for when you're with someone you love and you want to dance but don't want to hear the latest crumby pop tune. Joaquin covers some pop tunes but they're older ones that are getting the class of standards and he does them in a Latin jazz style.
What can be fascinating is that Joaquin's music seems so calm and yet if you listen closely you will hear his fingers blazing over the fingerboard. He plays very quickly and with great tenderness which gives a delicate sound that goes all the more toward the romance.
Joaquin's show will vary as he was doing mostly covers last night toward the theme of Valentine's Day. At other times he may play with lots of tangos and you can hear how much he enjoys playing them. He doesn't even have to say it. At yet other times he may play kind of a Latin jazz improv and these are my favorite in what he does.
Oh, did I say something about exciting ... check this out:
Don't worry about the audience going to sleep. (That's Cat and I on the lower left and Kasandra exploding things mid-screen)
