Pablo Reyes My Grandfather

 

 

1912 - 1982

This Picture Was Taken in 1968 With a Santa Marsala Accordion

Besides being an accordion player, my grandfather was a "curandero," a healer. He once said that people would see him some day all over the world performing. I never understood what he meant since he never recorded professionally or traveled far from home to perform. Ironically, this picture has been seen all over the world. I have come to accept that his spirit is the main force behind this site. It is for this reason that I dedicate this site to my grandfather. Indeed abuelo, you have performed all over the world.
