Description: Hello, First, let me say CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming wedding! My goal is to create the warmest, richest ambience possible for every wedding I am given the honor to be a part of. As a flamenco guitarist, I have developed a highly diverse repertoire of flamenco music, which touches the emotions and makes guests feel very comfortable. In order to create that ambience, I have purchased high-end equipment to transmit a warm, highly detailed sound. To give my clients the best product I can provide, I have enlisted the help of several guitarists to transcribe (musically notate) some of the best flamenco guitar music recorded to date. So, I have some very unique music to play that will only be heard at your wedding. Although your guests have not likely heard the music, I find that they really like hearing something fresh, different. This contributes to making your wedding very memorable. So, I play only flamenco, but a highly diverse range of song forms that span the spectrum from relaxed and dreamy, to fun, rhythmic tunes, to the more intense, fast paced flamenco which might invoke the image of a flamenco dancer. The music I play has been enriched by elements from other music genres, but at it's core it is flamenco. I also can provide dancers if a client is interested. I do have some nice flamenco selections for ceremonies and have learned a couple common wedding tunes for brides who need the more familiar ceremony music. By and large, I do not play pop, folk, jazz, or rock tunes. What I do offer is a classy, fun, elegant, warm alternative to more common music which adds a very rich cultural dimension to any wedding.
