Serenatas, boleros, vallenatos, música romántica y tropical en guitarra. Best Latin music in Houston and Katy! Romantic and tropical accords majestically played by Maestro Miranda, Colombian reknown composer and artist, and his acclaimed requinto.
Don Otto was amazing! He was very professional and we enjoyed the music he played.
Response from Música romántica y tropical:
Thanks so much Myralee! We had a great time! It was a pleasure to share with you and your family. As we discussed, let's repeat soon!
¡Muchas gracias Myralee! Fue un placer acompañarlos. Como acordamos, ¡que se repita pronto!
I think he was very good with his voice. And love the way he played his guitar. It was a little hard to hear him and next time we will just asked him to turn up his sound system.
Great for intimate social events.
The event was great! Don Otto is a phenomenal musician, and receptive to requests.
Response from Música romántica y tropical:
Thanks so much for your comments! Thanks for letting me share with you such joy and happiness!
Con mucho gusto estamos a la orden para cualquier parranda o evento. Un verdadero placer haber compartido con ustedes
My mom turned 90 this month. She was born in Costa Rica & moved to the USA as a 16 year old. We wanted to find someone who could play in a small venue, a restaurant in our case, & was familiar with the songs of her youth. To say that Otoniel fit the bill is hardly enough. He has a beautiful voice that blends well with his requinto guitar. Gentle & soft spoken, Otoniel turned what would have been just a fun party into a memorable one. My mom has already extracted a promise from me to drive her to the restaurant where he plays on weekends, 48 miles round trip, to enjoy some good Colombian food & some more of his beautiful music.

Response from Música romántica y tropical:
Hola Cari! Gracias por el amable comentario. Con gusto nos volvemos a reunir pronto, Dios mediante, para celebrar la vida y la música colombiana!
Saludos,
Otto
We had heard incredible stories from friends of the Awsome Talent of Otto Miranda, his guitar and singing abilities of songs from Latin America are unmatched. So when it came time to celebrate a surprise Birthday Party, my wife and I did not hesitate to contract Otto Miranda... and boy was it the right decision!! Otto's serinated the whole party with Tropical, Festive and Romantic songs and was the spot light of the reunion. We highly recommend Otto for any celebration occasion.
Don Otto did an excellent job. We had a lovely experience and our guests were thrilled with wonderful music. I would recommend for a special evening, Latin nostalgic night.
¡Finalmente! ¡Música colombiana en Houston! Qué alegría a recordar nuestras raíces latinas con música de Carlos Vives, Escalona y grandes artistas latinoamericanos. Pasodobles, boleros y otras excelentes melodías nos hicieron vibrar y añorar viejos tiempos.
