On one side, a guitarist who was a member of Albert King's band, The Wailers and recorded 7 albums with Peter Tosh (including the classic track Johnny B. Goode). And in the 80s he formed one of the most expressive Blues bands of the genre, The Kinsey Report. On the other, one of the most important and experienced blues groups in southern Brazil, with two albums recorded and which was among the 13 most voted bands in the world in the competition to play at Festival Crossroads, promoted by Eric Clapton. Donald Kinsey performs with the trio formed by Emerson Caruso (guitar and vocals), Rodrigo Canales (bass) and Fernando Rivabem (drums). The repertoire features "Stir it up", which Kinsey recorded with Bob Marley, and classics such as "Outskirts of Town" (famous with B.B. King), "Look over yonder’s wall" (successful with Elmore James) and "River’s invitation", a soul song by Percy Mayfield famous also with Aretha Franklin.

Donald Kinsey

American guitarist, composer and producer Donald Kinsey is an artist who expanded his horizons without leaving aside the roots of black music. For more than five decades, Donald Kinsey has been doing what the world made fashionable not so long ago: globalizing its music. Born into a family where Mississippi blues was always present in the voice and guitar of his father, Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey, a contemporary artist of Muddy Waters, and where music also became the craft of his brothers. Following the blues path, he headed to Chicago and, in the early 70s, became a sideman for Albert King, the most influential guitarist of all time, at the height of his career. After being applauded by the Montreux audience for his solo inspired by Roadhouse Blues, he heard from his master: yes, that’s my son! But the blues was the basis for the musician Donald Kinsey to go further. He was a member of The Wailers and recorded the anthology Rastman Vibration (in addition to Live at Roxy) in the company of one of music's greatest icons, Bob Marley. If that wasn't enough, he participated in 7 Peter Tosh albums, leaving his mark in the history of reggae: incendiary riffs on Johnny B. Goode, Tosh's second international hit. He continued through the 80s, 90s and 2000s leading the The Kinsey Report and its mix of blues, rock, reggae, funk and soul that brought a vigor and contemporaneity to Blues that hadn't been seen in a long time.
