Balta Bordoy is an elegant guitar player from Mallorca, now based in Barcelona, who precisely masters styles like the most genuine blues, swing or jazz.

An immediate throwback to the realness and tradition of the electric blues idiom of the 60s and the rhythm & blues golden age, The Blues Way is the project that gives the start to SirJo Cocchi & Balta Bordoy’s journey together and that has already stirred enthusiastic responses both with their duo and quartet performances.

SirJo and Balta originally met and started collaborating in Mallorca (Balta’s home) in 2016 and this project is the fruit of the seed that was planted on that magical island. SirJo's dynamic vocals, piano playing and Balta’s raw and true guitar sound finally connected on their debut album Heads Up!, recently recorded with their quartet in Barcelona.

The recording was mixed and mastered by the renowned producer/guitarist Kid Andersen and features special guests Vìctor Puertas on harmonica and Nil Mujal on tenor sax. Accompanying SirJo and Balta on Heads Up! is a tight and experienced rhythm section that has been playing together for years, consisting of Santi Ursul on bass and Micky Izquierdo on drums.
