Play original solo flamenco guitar tunes (Spanish style music) for weddings, showers, corporate functions etc. Also play in various configurations in duos, trios or quartets with flamenco singers, percussionists and flamenco dancers.
I play original tunes from my 2 CDs - Rupakerias and Buscando Mi Voz which can be accessed on spotify. I also play newer originals and occasionally I learn a requested tune if it is within my capabilities.
I need an armless chair and power for my solo performances at private events.
Just address and location of performance in the venue.
I provide and amplifier which can be used for as many as 2 instrumentalists (guitar and vocal for example).
I can plug my phone into my amplifier and provide background music for in between sets.
I have toured with Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook where we have played to 100,000 people at festivals. Recently I performed with the National Ballet of Canada in "Don Quijote" for the camp fire scene at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
I enjoy playing all events - whether its at a show in a theatre, in a restaurant, private functions (weddings, showers, corporate events etc...)
I started performing with flamenco dance companies in the 1990's and then gradually started playing solo gigs and in various configurations with musicians from other genres (indian tabla, classical cello and violin, etc...).
I have been strongly influenced by Paco de Lucia for the longest time and more recently by Diego del Morao and Antonio Rey.
I am based in Vaughan Ontario and have travelled as far as London, Niagara Falls, Ottawa and Parry Sound for private events.
For weddings, birthdays or other private functions I normally arrive at least half an hour before performance to set up amplifier. I play a maximum of 45 minute sets per hour for whatever time frame is required (1 hour to 5 hours). There is no minimum time that I play but I do charge my minimum rate for the first hour.
Yes, as long there is access to power, not below 18 Celsius and it is in a covered area in case of rain.
Mostly a set repertoire (my original compositions which can be listened to on spotify) but special requests can be learned if its within my capabilities.
Nice spanish atmosphere.
