Los Esquineros w/ pianist Amilcar Guevara -

FUSION JAZZ

Amilcar Guevara was born in Central America (El Salvador) into a family with a musical background based in traditional Latin music. After many years of learning, playing and experimenting with all different kinds of music, he has developed a versatile approach to his playing and his composition.

In recent years he has been living in Tucson, Arizona and he has worked as musical director of “Salsa” and “Charanga” bands, “Charanga” being a traditional Cuban style of music and dance. He also continues to pursue his interest in Latin Jazz with his own Quartet.

The arranging, performing and producing talents he developed while working for recording studios in Guatemala have been applied to recording projects he has recently completed. These include a CD for the Tucson Latin Jazz Orchestra, the music for an instructional Video of Latin Dance Aerobics, and CDs for individual performing artists in Tucson and Albuquerque. Amilcar will be joined by guitarist matt Mitchell for this performance.
