Germán Suárez

For many street musicians, the backing track is the perfect band. Played through an amp via a phone or a tablet, it’s always in time, has perfect pitch and never hits a bad note. With qualifications like that, Germán fits seamlessly with his backing track. In Plaza Poeta Alfonso Canales, which connects the city center to the port of Málaga, Muelleuno, Germán combines his love for soul, jazz and pop from the 1960s and 1970s to add a little bounce to the step of those making there way back and forth. From the Frankie Valli, Paul Anka and Frank Sinatra hit, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” to Billy Joel’s “I Love You Just The Way You Are,” Germán plays beautiful melodies with his fantastic band. For those who think that musicians who play on the street do it because they have no other options, think again. With a resumé that includes a stint as a Senior Saxaphone Professor at the Luis Gianneo Conservatory of Music in Córdoba, Argentina as well as an instructor of master classes and symposia, Germán has had a lifetime of music in more traditional settings, but the street is where he loves to shine.
