Joan Bibiloni:

Spanish guitarist (born in Manacor - Mallorca, 1952), has played with some of the best musicians since the 80's: Jon Anderson, Larry Coryell, John Cage, Celia Cruz, Kevin Ayers... He is also a writer and producer (Marina Rossell, Antonio Vega...).
Co-founder of "Blau" label in 1982.
