Happiness as Anarchy #291: Derek Gripper

Apart from having a fabulous name, Derek Gripper is an amazing guitarist. He’s playing in the cracks. In the gaps of various African, Western and just plain beautiful musics. The resulting sound that is intriguing and compelling, and while at first it seemed he wasn’t going to talk much, as the concert went on he charmed us with stories, jokes and lots of smiles. My heart has been massaged with music.
