A Work in Progress by Ernesto Schnack Ernesto Schnack : A Work in Progress.
 Solo guitar and other madness.

After relocating to Berlin from his native Panama, Ernesto Schnack started exploring his various influences through his acoustic guitar. The music that came out is a unique blend of fingerstyle guitar, rock, classical and ethnic rhythms.

The music ranges from soft and bittersweet, to powerful and aggressive, but always moody, suggestive and enrapturing.

A Work in Progress is the result of an artist finding his sound.
