Matty and the Cubano are a top notch duo! They bring the energy, and enthusiasm. We held a 50th birthday party at a local bar, they did not disappoint. They were engaged with the crowd, let my friend sing a tune, and even let the cook come.out and play harmonica with them. If you want a party band....this is your group. Just book him!

Kind, energetic, spectacular guitarist. He read the room and the attendees likes very well for our corporate event. Extremely accommodating and soooooo easy to work with.
If I'm back in the Miami area, I'll be sure to call him FIRST!
Music was perfect for our event and was fun to listen to.
Hire him today!
Matteo delivered as requested and provided a very entertaining evening for everyone.
We had an outdoor party planned and the weather had other ideas. Pouring rain and we had to move the guests inside to a tight space. Matteo adjusted his routine perfectly and created the perfect ambiance . He is really talented and a pleasure to work with. I am sorry we did not get a chance for him to do his full gig routine, but we will have him back to other events. Highly recommended.

We hired Matty and Omar for our wedding and they were honestly our favorite part. They really set the vibe for the day and welcomed our guests with their good energy and beautiful music. The guests really loved them! My family is Albanian, and Matty even learned how to play a song on the cifteli (Albanian string) for the reception which was a huge crowd pleaser. My husband is Cuban so having Omar on the congos was a must. It was a fun fusion and nice symbolism for us. Matty and Omar were a pleasure to work with, responsive, professional, and all around great guys. I highly recommend them for any event! You won’t regret it!
Mateo was fantastic, a really talented musician who brought incredible vibes and energy to our party. He is also so easy to work with, provides all his own equipment and everything.
Multiple people at the party told me how much they enjoyed Mateo and his music.
We will definitely rehire him for future events!! Incredible music

This guitar and rhythm show made my event! Wide range of styles that connected with my guests. Smooth songs great for cocktail hour to songs that got people out of their seats to dance. I highly recommend booking Matteo.

Matt and his percussionist performed at our corporate event at the 1 Hotel in Miami Beach and was such a pleasure to work with. We wanted fun covers of recognizable songs with a Miami flare and they were the perfect fit. He was easy to communicate with, flexible onsite, and a great entertainer! Our clients loved the duo and were very complimentary about the performance. The hotel was very strict on sound ordinance and he was very compliant with their requests while still producing a fun atmosphere for our event. I would definitely recommend his services!

Matt played during both our ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding in 2020. He brought the best energy the entire time. So much so that our friends continue to talk about him almost three years later! If you're looking to add a unique and memorable component to your event, Matt is absolutely the guy.

We found Matty at a vineyard in the Catskills. My husband and I were instantly hooked after just being in Barcelona. Matty's music was a great spin on classical Spanish music and top 20 hits!
We decided to book him as our ceremony and cocktail musician as soon as we saw him. Matty's communication was great. We spoke early about the venue and what we were expecting fo cocktail hour.
Matty was great and we let him play whatever he felt the crowd was feeling and he nailed it!
He played everything from classical music to Jack Johnson to Pony by ginuwine.
He is FANTASTIC and I would recommend him 100 times over.

Matty recently performed at my wedding and my wife and I couldn’t be happier. Matt took the time to understand the musical vibe we were going for and knocked it out of the park. Our guests loved his performance just as much as we did. Matt’s an amazing & professional talent.

Matty played during my cocktail hour at my wedding at Batello in Jersey City. He brought amazing energy, great music and a very positive vibe to set the tone at the beginning of our wedding. We had many guests come up to us and mention how much they liked his performance. Highly recommend Matty for any event!

Matteo played a fashion show for us and delighted the guests and models alike. He brings joy, fun and professionalism to all of his shows. His music is beautiful and he engages the guests and brings an incredible energy!
Guitarist
Matteo is one of our absolute favorite live performers! He played at previous family events and we knew he was a must at our anniversary party at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. Not only were our guests obsessed, but passerby couldn’t get enough either. We were on the patio and the planner said she had to share his info several times! Matteo has a great personality and I know he has so much fun giving everyone else a great experience. He has mastered the art of feeling out a crowd and transitioning tunes as time goes on; trust me when I say it’s impossible to not move with his music! I know our party would have been truly incomplete without him. He really can elevate any event. We couldn’t recommend him enough no matter the type of affair!
