Street Performer Damian Salazar Tears Through Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’!
IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
If this is where the future of music is headed, I can rest easy tonight. Damian Salazar is a 23 year old street musician from Buenos Aires, Argentina and he can usually be found somewhere on Florida Street ripping through some of the most iconic songs in classic rock! Here he is taking on Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’ – he even leaves the solo intact, a feat that’s daunting for even seasoned guitarists!
While his technique is a little rough around the edges, I love an underdog that takes the initiative in making their dreams happen – with or without anyone’s help!
Damian’s unique playing style has caught the attention of some major players in the music world – most notably Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, who featured Damian on his song ‘The Child Will Fly’.
He even got to work with legend Eric Clapton as a result of his guitar playing!
I’d love to see what Damian Salazar and teen prodigy Tina S. would come up with if the two of them collaborated – the results would be absolutely out of this world!
