The timple is the most significant instrument of the Canary Islands, linked for many years with canarian folk music. Germán López, with his timple, tries to continue with the work that over the years great timple players like José Antonio Ramos or Benito Cabrera have done. The musical project that Germán leads is based in the inclusion of the timple in styles like folk, jazz, world music, classical music, funky, flamenco, ... through his own compositions and some covers of his musical heroes. “De Raíz” (“From the roots”) is the brand new recording of Germán López. He has performed and recorded with great artists and bands such as Pancho Amat, Milladoiro, Jorge Pardo, Mestisay, Celina Pereira, Sidiki Toumani Diabaté, Andreas Prittwitz, The Lost Fingers, Nancy Vieira, Taburiente, Alain Pérez, Josemi Carmona, Carlitos del Puerto, Jamie Haddad, Gregg Field, Cheche Alara, Aymée Nuviola, Lila Downs, Tim Ries... The involvement in festivals around the world from all kinds of music guarantee the possibilities of the timple as a solo instrument and his inclusion in practically any music style. That doesn't mean turning our back to the musical tradition of the instrument. It's just part of the evolution of it.
