I started a similar thread and cannot find it.
anyone talk about Alba Accompa.Is he revered as a great rhythmist in modern generation.in clips his licks are quite audible whereas Zygal's are not .how did he join BCBG and where is he ..his band didn't take off? an example below

alba is in sweden and works as an arranger and also a session artist with groups(since he can plays other styles than rumba ndombolo)

Alba  is an excellent rhythm guitarist. There are two reasons why his guitar was audible at this concert and at many others, firstly, he made sure that the sound engineer gave him more gain/volume on his mixer so the sound came out loud and secondly, Alba actually played mi-solo and not pure rhythm in the sebenes, he is one of the few rhythm guitarists that plays in sync with the soloist note for note but at a different tone and pitch, he even plays the soloists' signatures note for note, it's a difficult thing to do for a rhythm guitarist then he switches to rhythm as the sebene continues.

Yeah, it explains why he plays mi-solo in sebene and the reason why he played solo on his own album, I remember I asked who played when he first posted the generique on youtube and he responded that he played the solo himself on his album.
