Overview
I’m a Flamenco guitarist, I lived and studied in Spain with a Gypsy family, as well as studied music at the university.
I have a lot of experience performing for weddings, theaters, corporate and private events etc. I do specialize in Flamenco, but also have studied some Jazz and Classical guitar. I play music from the Gypsy Kings to Bossa Nova to authentic, traditional Flamenco.
I’m a quick learner if a song is requested prior to the event. In addition to being a soloist, I also work with another guitarist as a duet, and Flamenco dancers as a trio or duet. Whatever the event may be, I can assure that my music will always provide the sensation of being in Spain!

Beautiful, pronounced and seamless guitar playing during my 20th wedding anniversary. Flamenco at its best and Caro, with an angelic, memorizing voice on songs she sang oh so effortlessly. I was enthralled by her ease of playing, singing and her overall beauty! She is a sight! Caro is a wonderful, sweet and down to earth person who will demonstrate why she is a fantastic and gifted artist performing at her best. The airwaves were filled with her magical playing and singing! I was so happy to have chosen Caro to perform at my event and my guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She is a MUST!!!!!!!!

We're in funky times now where we don't get to see live music, something that was always an integral part of our dating days. Caro helped create a truly amazing evening, playing a private show with the flamenco style spanish guitar we remembered in Barcelona, the upbeat jam sessions we saw live with Rodrigo y Gabriela, Gypsy Kings and Buena Vista Social Club, and she even learned and performed two new (non traditional) songs from our wedding. This was easily the best money I've ever spent to make an anniversary unique. My wife cried. I cried. We slow danced in public without giving a shit and remembered when and how we fell in love over a decade ago. Caro made everything easy and gave me complete confidence in the process. I've never hired a musician before and she made it so easy. Her communication made the whole process so less intimidating. She also stepped up and added ambiance with candles at my request. She's amazingly talented and an absolute dream to work with. I also want to hire her to give my 9YO guitar lessons now.

You guys were so lovely, thank you Andrew!
Very good, the music was excellent. Also my grandma had requested a specific song to play, she didn't remember it, but during her break she looked it up refreshed her memory and played it. Made my grandmas day, really above and beyond. I would highly recommend!

Hey Ruben,
Thanks so much again for having me for your wedding. It was a pleasure!
We hired Caro and her partner Molina to play during cocktail hour wedding and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. From her professionalism and response time prior to the big day to her pure musical talent day of, she was just a perfect to work with. Their presence added so much to the atmosphere, I can't recommend more!

We hired Caro and her duet partner for my sons First Communion. The music was beautiful, it created such a lovely atmosphere for the party without overpowering our guest. We received so many compliments on the music even from neighbors walking by our house. We highly recommend Caro for any event you may be hosting.

I hired La Caro for my mother’s funeral service and celebration of life reception and was blown away by her professionalism and attention to detail during this difficult time. She was very prompt and checked in a few days to confirm all of the details including songs she learned per my family’s request. Talking to her felt like talking to a friend I’ve known for years & her kind words made me feel that she cared. La Caro has an amazing voice & plays the guitar better than anyone I’ve ever seen live. I had a ton of friends and family enquirer about her for future events. If you’re looking for an artist for any occasion I strongly recommend her because she made my mothers celebration of life extra special.

Thank you Caro for making my Moms memorial service so very special. Our mom was from Spain and would have loved your flamenco playing. Caro was professional, respectful, and played beautifully for our occasion.

Caro, Molina and Leticia performed exquisitely at our small home gathering outside. Superb musicians and Leticia danced beautifully. Lots of variety kept the entire performance engaging and interesting. Thank you so much!

My sisters and I wanted to throw my folks an unforgettable birthday dinner. As it is a somewhat difficult time for large gatherings, we wanted to do something smaller and intimate, outdoors and relaxing.
After going back and forth between a mariachi (which my dad loves) and a Spanish guitarist, we were convinced that La Caro would be the right fit for the birthday celebration. The videos just don’t do her and the whole experience justice. She is very talented, and we were lucky to have her teacher join us that evening as she suggested that a duo would be better experience, and, while I know she would have been great solo, the duo was incredible.
These days it’s hard to find musical artists that are both reliable and professional, and La Caro was both.
Highly recommend!

I love all kinds of music and my favorite thing to do is to go see live concerts. Because of the pandemic, I started watching more live performances on YouTube and that's when I came across Caro's Youtube videos. I was instantly floored by her incredible talent as a flamenco musician. After watching her videos online I wanted to research more about her, thinking she must be living somewhere in Spain because her talent is so authentically flamenco. I soon realized that she's local in LA/OC and got incredibly excited! I was starting the planning for my wedding and decided to reach out to her to see if she would be willing to perform during cocktail hour and dinner at my wedding. She quickly responded and after a few emails answering my questions, I booked her and her duo partner Molina to perform at my wedding. They literally were the first vendor I booked! I don't even think we even had a venue yet haha! I knew it was going to be great because I had seen the YouTube videos, but I can sincerely say that Caro and Molina blew me, my wife and all my guests away. Everyone who was present at my wedding kept asking me "where did you find them!?" and said that they thought my wedding was half wedding, half concert! Haha! Exactly how I wanted it! Caro was very flexible, answered all my questions in a timely manner and was super professional the whole time. She even allowed my father and I to perform with them one song! I would recommend Caro to absolutely anyone! She was so great, that my sister and her fiancé hired them on the spot to play music at their wedding a few weeks from now! I personally can't wait to be able to watch them perform again at my sister's wedding!

La Caro is a magnificent guitarist and really elevated our company picnic. She is also very accommodating and friendly. I'm already thinking about what event we will have together next! In this time when live music is so rare, having her serenade us really was a treat.

I booked Caro for an intimate dinner party for my moms birthday. I was so blown away at her talent and her professionalism. She was extremely responsive and on time. Not to mention her skills are extraordinary and the night would not have had the same ambience or vibe without her. She added an extra special element to the evening. Thank you Caro, I have no doubt I will booking you again!!!

Thanks so much Van, it was a pleasure!
Amazing! What a wonderful evening and La Caro made it extra special sharing her background and stories to each piece of music she played. It was my ten year anniversary and only had our children there to witness the beautiful evening. Her music was memorizing, romantic, and on fire! Will definitely book her again for future dinner parties.

It was such a joy to have caroline at my event! This networking event hosted a crowd to talk and discuss different business and at some points conversation stopped to listen to the incredible music! Caroline was extremely accommodating and even learned a cover.
Highly recommend and would book in the future!

About
I studied music at a prestigious arts high school, as well as Chapman Universtity for music. I then went on my own to Spain to study flamenco with a very well known gypsy family of musicians in the world of flamenco. There is where I realized how much flamenco influences their way of life. I had the honor to perform with them and become part of their family. I’ve played music all my life, ever since I could bang on things as a toddler. I picked up the violin, flute, drums and piano, but the guitar was my true love. I advanced so quickly as a child learning things off of YouTube and the internet on my own. I’ve met all my idols in the world of music and have played for almost all of them. They’ve always been so surprised listening to me play because it is extremely uncommon to see a female flamenco guitarist. I’m one of very few. I’ve been blessed and I’ve put in a lot of time and hard work into my art. I’ll be doing it for the rest of my life.
