If you’ve yet to witness the mesmerizing spectacle of four musicians harmonizing on a single guitar, then the Barcelona Guitar Trio’s rendition of “Billie Jean” is an absolute must-watch. Filmed during their Tribute to Paco de Lucía performance, their interpretation of this iconic tune is nothing short of spellbinding.
Comprising three highly skilled Spanish guitarists – Xavier Coll, Luis Robisco, and Manuel González – the Barcelona Guitar Trio joined forces with percussionist Paquito Escudero to infuse rhythmic flair into their rendition of “Billie Jean.” Their collective talents meld seamlessly, resulting in a captivating and harmonious musical display.
Their rendition breathes new life into “Billie Jean,” one of Michael Jackson’s most beloved songs. Despite its widespread familiarity, their interpretation offers a fresh and invigorating take on the timeless melody, inviting listeners to rediscover the song in a wholly unique way.
Closing one’s eyes, one might be fooled into believing that multiple guitars are at play, given the intricate layers of sound produced. However, upon witnessing the performance, the visual spectacle is equally captivating: like a musical tapestry, the musicians unite to coax a symphony of melodies from a single guitar, creating an auditory and visual feast that mesmerizes and enthralls the audience.
