Big C is more than just music; it's an odyssey of the senses, capable of transporting audiences to realms of wonder. His music weaves a tapestry of textures, colors, and emotions, evoking the essence of distant lands and forgotten memories. The sheer emotionality of his performances have often led to couples becoming engaged in the audience, after which they seek him out to perform at their wedding. Whether the celebration is nearby or across the globe, clients appreciate his feeling and musical expression so much that they will hire him to perform overseas because, as someone once said, "The client is always right".

Cesarios was great!!
We had previously booked him in 2019 for a National Meeting and we're so impressed that when we FINALLY were able to hold a meeting after 2 years Cesarios was our first thought!!
Thank you!!!
Response from Flamenco Rumba World Class Guitarist BIG C:

Cesarios did a great job at our cocktail reception. I highly recommend using him if you have any type a corporate event or cocktail reception.
It was great!!
Response from Flamenco Rumba World Class Guitarist BIG C:
Thank you, Rafael, blessings your way 😎
We were lucky to see his show last Sunday, as expected it was a full house, our favorite part of the show was the Acoustic Rock Tribute and the Rumba Flamenca. We were surprised to notice Cesarios remembered our names, this guy knows many guests from all over the world, however, he is very humble and a true gentleman, we are so happy to have found his show here in Florida.

Live music of all types, BIG C's uncommonly dexterous PUA picking style technique is the basis of this theme, expressed in his repertoire of 2800 songs per year, Combined with his extensive library of acoustic accompanying tracks, Cesar can hold a venue musically enthralled.
His mixture of contemporary music keeps a room dancing all night while his more sultry tunes add a romantic tone to the evening.
As a follower of Flamenco Rumba Tradition, Big C's performances are jewels to the transformative power of music. His instrument becomes an extension of his being, as he channels the essence of the universe into a kaleidoscope of sound and emotion. Each note, each chord, and each melody is a declaration of his unwavering dedication to the art of sonic alchemy. He has dedicated his life to preserving cultural traditions through music. Starting at only five years old, he initially focused on piano and accordion but found his true calling in the guitar. Over time, the guitar became a symbol of the prosperity and harmony he sought to spread throughout the world with his performances.
A virtuoso mix of PUA Picking style technique, Big C astounds audiences with his ability to incorporate various plucked string instruments into his shows. Whether the Spanish Guitar, Greek Bouzouki, Mandolin, Charango, Cuban Tres, or Puerto Rican Cuatro, he displays a rare musical dexterity that draws people in. Renowned for his lively sets, Big C entertains crowds at high end venues, resorts, clubs, and at fundraising galas across the globe. With each note he plays, a feeling of joy and positivity washes over those listening.
Versatile in both English and Spanish, Big C expands his linguistic repertoire through studying Italian, Tagalog, Greek, and Portuguese. Admirers describe his shows as meticulously crafted experiences that transport the mind and senses. In his performances, music blends with the flavors of different cultures and the celebration of life's splendors. With a catalog of over 2,800 songs, Big C ensures no two shows are identical—unless an encore of a favorite is requested. This boundless creativity serves as his most prized asset.
WORLD ON STRINGS
A Falling Rain of 2800 Star Songs.
Successful in elegance and emotion, World on Strings production, was produced by Marty and Allan King. With warm lighting and evocative staging, the show transports audiences to a musical journey around the world. From Flamenco Rumba to multinational rock medleys, Big C’s acts capture the spirit of faraway lands while encouraging joy and togetherness. His journey as a Flamenco Rumba Guitarist has never stop. His unique style blends traditional flamenco techniques with contemporary rumba influences, creating a sound that is both authentic and innovative. Big C's live music events are an undeniable fact to his versatility, featuring a repertoire of over 2,800 songs that span various genres, from classic flamenco to modern pop interpretations.
Big C’s Flamenco Rumba guitar performances are more than music—they’re profit-generating experiences. Hotels and Resorts hosting his shows report 60% higher revenue sales and increased guest retention. His fusion of Spanish guitar passion and crowd-engaging energy transforms venues into cultural hotspots, ideal for:
Resort theme nights
Luxury hotel performances
Guest Performer Shows
Destination wedding receptions
ENCORE
When the final chord faded, applause erupted for the profoundly gifted artist. As cheers slowed down, anticipation built once more – what surprise did this creative soul have in store? With blindfold secured, Big C grabs his instrument once more. Pua and Fingers which previously danced now wandered the frets, feeling their way by some intrinsic sense. Eyes closed, they floated on waves of sound as melodies morphed unexpectedly, keeping listeners rapt yet contemplative. Time ceased to matter in that musical realm where complexity met simplicity in a dance of (link hidden)t the music remained – complex, soothing, and uplifting . Through this bold experience, a message emerged: true art emerges from within, not without. It reminds us that riches lie beyond sight, in shared experiences which feed the soul.
