I was…read moreimpressed how he came prepared with his own equipment and his almost encyclopedic knowledge of songs, both contemporary and older. By the end of the night, he had the entire party singing "Piano Man" and it was awesome. He was very personable and professional, and felt like a guest at the party, not just a performer. I'd recommend Kevin if you want some live music in a relaxed atmosphere with someone you feel is an old friend you haven't seen in a while.

Learning under Diego this past year has been a treat and a great value. I first came across his…read morematerial online years back and was reminded of his stuff only recently. Like anyone looking to invest a good amount of cash into anything, I was a bit skeptical at first, especially as this was online classes and through Zoom video calls; a couple of grand ain't nothing to sneeze at. Though, his values in terms of how he teaches, what he teaches, and his no pressure no cost initial meeting have made me took the plunge. If I am being honest, I got more than I bargained for in the first month. On top of learning flamenco, he taught guitar/music learning in a more modern approach to super charge my skills and technique. I gotten through a good amount of my past plateaus in shorter time than I thought. And the care and attention he put to his students are incredible. I mainly got with Diego to learn a flamenco piece and to learn more (and apply) the new research based learning methods, and I got through the program with more than I asked as those first "asks" was easily done in a course of a couple of weeks. I highly recommend Diego and his Spanish Guitar Mastery program.

Our guitarist Andrea arrived early to set up before the event and was professional and most of all very talented. She played for two hours while guests were arriving and during cocktail hour on the patio bar. Her selection of songs was perfect and I did not need to be included in selecting them. We had an international crowd including guests from Spain and they all commented on her beautiful performance at our event. Her playing truly created the beautiful, serene and vivid atmosphere we were hoping for. My guests loved her and I would absolutely request her again. Diego was very professional and affordable and a trustworthy, reliable vendor to work with. We set up our contract via email which made things very simple. If you are looking for a Spanish style acoustic guitarist for your event I highly recommend booking with Diego Alonso.

Mariachi is a type of traditional Mexican folk music believed to have originated in Western Mexico…read more From different regions of Mexico emerged a multicultural sound. During colonial times from the early 16th century through the mid-19th century, the music of Mexico's indigenous nations were influenced by the musical styles of Spanish colonists and the African slave population to form the music now called Mariachi. After the end of the Mexican revolution in the 1920's, the government began promoting Mexican folk music as a source of national pride. It is around this time that the Mariachi costumes became elaborate taking inspiration from Jalisco charros, Mexican ranchers and cowboys. By the middle of the 20th century, mariachi music had made its way into US culture, first in California, then throughout the southwest, and eventually throughout the nation. Mariachi has now become one of the most recognizable Latin music types. Carrying the Mariachi torch in South Florida is the Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo. This musical group can be hired to perform at your private events including birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. I was able to watch them perform at a friends milestone birthday celebration. The singers had great harmony and they can sing in both Spanish and English. They offer 30 and 50 minute performances. This group was very professional and their music and vocals was enjoyed by everyone at the party. Mariachi Show Mexicanisimo is a beautiful representation of Mexican culture.
