Guitarra Azul is an exciting blend of Rumba, Flamenco, Latin Jazz, and World Sounds, with intoxicating Latin percussion & fiery Spanish guitars. Featuring their own original compositions as well as the familiar music of world artists The Gypsy Kings, Ottmar Liebert, Santana and other pop groups, Guitarra Azul performs as either a 4- or 6-piece ensemble, and can also add the sensual passion only authentic flamenco dancers can bring for a full, stunning evening of entertainment.
The musicians of Guitarra Azul are some of the best around. At its core, guitarist-composer Stefano is known for his dynamic stage presence and brilliant technique. He has appeared across the US and Europe as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician, and as half of the renowned "Edwards-Simmons Guitar Duo." Stefano has been featured in performances with many notable artists, including flamenco guitar master Carlos Montoya, violin virtuoso Gidon Kremer, and legendary jazz pianist George Shearing. Stefano is a prolific composer for both film and live theatre, and has written beautiful compositions for Guitarra Azul's debut CD "Mariposa." Roberto is a classically trained guitarist known for his beautiful tone and fiery rhythms. He is a former protégé of master guitarist Norman Ruiz, accompanying him on his annual pilgrimage to Spain to study with classical and flamenco guitar masters.
From Ceasar's Palace to the famed La Costa Resort to their hometown of Chicago, Guitarra Azul has audiences yelling for more. Add the brilliance of Ojos Gitanos dancers & you've got an event to remember! There's no way to stay in your seat for Guitarra Azul. Oh, yeah! |
