Finest music on earth PERIOD! This is what I used to listen to during middle and high school in my portable CD player. Giraldilla, Rapsodia and Antiguo is his best work!! I wish he would come back to his roots and play these pieces in this era with modern recording equipment. That would honestly be a dream for me! Saludos desde Wisconsin!

Barreto stands out like no other drummer I've ever heard. Saw him with this quartet in the Bay Area some years ago. He and Rublacaba seemed to elevate each others playing. Brilliant. Perhaps they've gone different ways, but I would love to hear that they are working together again.
Any cuban drummer you'll see with Gonzalo is going to be on this level. Gonzalo's music is so, so deep (and in a deeply cuban way) that his 'sidemen' are highly inspired and challenged to go to the ultimate degree.
is a nice blend of american style of drumming mixed with afro cuban rhythms a lot is taken from bata drumming put into a drum kit so when you mix the two is very powerfull Julio is in another stratosphere like many good cuban drumers.like rodney barreto, raul pineda in his earlier years was like this too i think thery are from around the same year in la ENA national school of arts in Cuba.
I first heard Julio in a CD by Gonzalo Rubalcaba. I really couldn't believe what this guy was doing -- an incredible mix of rhythmic lines, dynamics and... MUSIC! Well... this is one of the very few videos that one can catch Julio on TH-cam. And I thank you, oloddo, very much for uploading it. Now I know that Julio's magic is REAL!
I was in Habana when they played this with the sextet...Horacio (el negro) Hernandez was about 17 and it was like this too! I'm working on posting some of that concert.
Oh my god please post that content! I have never had the pleasure of seeing that sextet live. I saw Gonzalo live at Lawrence University in Wisconsin but it was a trio with Ignacio Berroa and Armando Gola. Still a fantastic show!
@@rramos07 I'll try with your encouragement, hopefully after 8 years I can get it together! There might be some up there already but sometimes youtube will mess with us...
TiqueO6 I totally understand. I’ve had plenty of videos blocked over random things even though I claimed from the very beginning that it’s not my music, but oh well.
This dates back a way, around the time I saw this quartet at Yoshi's in the S.F. Bay Area. Brilliant. Anyway aware if Rubalcaba and Barreto have played together recently or since then? Thanks for posting this...

This guy has some kind of magic and his inner force is so that he makes you believe in every hit he plays without question. Thanks for posting!

Escuchando a otros bateristas en especifico cubanos, julio tendría que tener una mención aparte, dinámica, rítmica, técnica. Out of this world
i had the luck to see them by accident in athens.i never stop to follow gonzalo since then and julio.you are blessed any way

Let’s not forget that Gonzalo was a drummer before becoming a piano player so you can’t bs him he got the best
I wonder what colors go through his head when he "painting" This drummer is insane.
Julio Barreto y Raul Pineda los mejores!!!!
Julio es mil veces más versátil, tiene más tecnica, toca más limpio que Raúl
Para mi y la discografía enrique pla y el negro......!y conga en Cuba los precursores después puerto rico
well jeez man him and his nephew just kill it on the kit!!!
VIRTUOSO A LA 5TA POTENCIA 👍👏🎼🎵🎶🎵🎼
Por Dios que locura!
