I like to combine instrumental solos with songs like Ed Sheeran's Perfect Love, or Every Breath You Take
by The Police, with other guitar music solos such as El adagio de Aranjuez, or La Malagueña. I also use tracks to accompany the most beautiful melodies. I can even include songs that the client wants to listen to at some special moment.
I can play on a classical nylon-string guitar and also on an electro-acoustic with steel strings.
My repertoire is very wide and grows every day with the requests of my clients. Professionalism is guaranteed and I usually have excellent comments after my performances.
I am a Cuban guitarist graduated from the Higher Institute of Art in Havana, but I also have experience working in hotels and restaurants. In 1998 I spent the summer with two friends in a 5-star hotel in Baku, Azervaijam. Then we traveled to Mexico to release a trova album. In 2001 I was in Lisbon and my contract was renewed to complete 18 months playing at the Guantanamera Restaurant in Estoril. In Santo Domingo I entertained the nights of the best restaurants and played for weddings and events. In the USA I usually play for business events. In my performances I usually combine my classical repertoire with the popular one and I include rhythms from all over the world.
I only need a chair, a microphone for my classical guitar and an amplification equipment for my electroacoustic guitar. The tracks can be connected via bluetooth or with a cable from the laptop to the amplifier.
