This week, our host Patrick Grant welcomes guitarist/composer Daniel Reyes Llinas to the Strings and Things podcast. Daniel’s got a Fender Strat he customized himself, and he’s the co-founder of the New York instrumental group, Parias Ensemble. We’ll hear about the impact that the Beatles, Latin rock and New Wave made on him as a kid growing up in Colombia, and we’ll find out what’s cooking with Daniel’s new album.
