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.

About
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
BLINDFOLDED FLAMENCO RUMBA GUITAR ENCORE
As the final, resonant chord of Big C’s Flamenco Rumba performance fades into the air, the room erupts in thunderous applause. Guests rise to their feet, their hearts still racing from the fiery rhythms and soulful melodies that have just swept them away. But just as the cheers begin to subside, a hush falls over the crowd. Big C, with a knowing smile, reaches for a sleek black blindfold and ties it securely over his eyes.
The room holds its breath. What happens next is nothing short of mesmerizing.
With the blindfold in place, Big C’s hands return to his guitar, but now they move with an almost otherworldly precision. His fingers, no longer guided by sight, seem to dance across the strings by instinct alone. Each note is a revelation—a delicate whisper one moment, a passionate cry the next. The music takes on a new dimension, raw and unfiltered, as if the blindfold has unlocked a deeper layer of emotion and artistry.
The audience is spellbound. Without the distraction of sight, Big C’s connection to his instrument becomes palpable. His body sways with the rhythm, his head tilts as if listening to a secret melody only he can hear. The guitar becomes an extension of his soul, and the room is transported to a place where time stands still and nothing exists but the music.
As the final notes ring out, the crowd erupts once more, this time with a mix of awe and disbelief. The blindfold is removed, and Big C takes a bow, his smile warm and humble. In that moment, it’s clear: this is not just a performance—it’s a testament to the power of artistry, passion, and the boundless possibilities of human creativity.
