For several years American blues musicians have been traveling to South America to play at blues festivals in Brazil and Argentina. To keep expenses to a minimum they often travel sans their own bands. They have found that they can find great musicians who have a deep understanding of how to accompany a blues singer. One of these is the Argentine harp player Cesar Valdomir. For the past twenty years Valdomir has been, as his album title suggests, working at the blues. His latest album features three Valodmir originals to go along with some blues standards. He is joined on a couple of tracks by John Primer. Valdomir is a very strong instrumentalist who is still working at mastering the vocal nuances of a foreign language.
