About Blás Vasco
About the Music
Blás Vasco is the pseudonym for guitarist-composer Louis Sparre. The recordings featured on this website are all original compositions arranged and performed with various musicians. BV draws from many influences such as flamenco, bossa nova, Indian classical music, jazz, punk; while maintaining a high degree of originality. A lot of this music defies genre and categorization but has obvious roots to the seasoned listener. So far three albums have been produced : "Introducing", "Ink Spots", and "Optomology." These albums were designed to be listened to cover to cover and one is recorded each year (starting in 2021). The first two are more jazz, brazilian and world influenced, featuring the exclusive use of the classical guitar with percussion and horns and bass. The third album is a bit of a diversion and is more of a swing/gypsy jazz album designed to make your feet tap and dominated by lead and rhythm guitars. In 2024 a vynil record will be released for sale featuring the first two albums and some beautiful custom artwork on 180g vynil. To acquire a copy please message through the website or instagram.
