Performance
I am a full time guitarist with forty years of training and performance experience. My expertise is in flamenco, Spanish classical, tango and Latin jazz guitar. I also perform Algerian Rai and study the oud. I sing in Spanish and English.
My performances are tailored to best serve the needs of my clients--venues include concerts, weddings, receptions, clubs, restaurants, parties and festivals. I regularly perform in collaboration with a range of performance artists, including flamenco dancers, singers and various musicians.
