"Darío on basso continuo, essential to sing, modulate and accompany but without being noticed, more than just enough, then emerging almost out of nowhere when the voices fall silent. Sometimes going up to the upper keyboard to trill in the high notes without harshness and drip the tender without cloying. And always with a glance of complicity"
