I play the music of the 60's and 70's in a smooth Latin, Flamenco
style. I also play the popular Rumba Flamenco style as well as Bossa Nova, Jazz Standards and originals.
Yussi played at my engagement party. I gave him very little instructions and completely left it up to him and he knew exactly what to do.He was extremely prompt and professional and there were no technical glitches at all. The set he played was amazing and we were totally blown away with his beautiful and talented skills! He created a whole other element in the room and knew exactly when to tone it down. We were beyond impressed with him and would love to use him in the future. Thank you Yussi for making our party so special!
