Emmanuel Mora

Emmanuel Mora is a guitarist and composer with a traditional jazz heart, passionate about reflecting his cultural and musical influences in his artistic propositions. His music is based on creating a fusion of Mexican, Latin American and Afro-Caribbean traditions with rock and blues influencies and with jazz language and improvisation as the unifying element.

Emmanuel's discography consists of four solo albums (Estaciones, Songo Wes, Body and Soul and Huellas), three albums with the group Xamán, and collaboration on multiple jazz and fusion projects. He has performed at national and international cultural and jazz festivals, including the International Cervantes Festival, and the Jazz Plaza Festival in Havana, Cuba. In 2010 he presented his new album, Estaciones.

"With Jimmy Wess strings I can easily get the sound I need since they have an excellent balance between body and brightness and are very reliable and durable. I play jazz and fusion and record."

Testimonial:

At first I put my gauges together by buying loose strings, and since I couldn't find them all made by the same brand, I used different brands. I started using Jimmy Wess strings this way and I could compare their sound and durability with many other brands. I liked Jimmy Wess strings a lot more than the others and that's why when I saw the sponsorship opportunity I jumped on it.
