member spolight :: anthony garcia, flamenco guitarist

Although very common at weddings in southern Spain, flamenco is less common here in the US. Weddings of Distinction member, Anthony, plays a contemporary flamenco style, taking elements of jazz and classical and fusing them into traditional flamenco. The result is a music that spans the spectrum of textures from relaxed, easy going music that puts guests at ease, to fun, warm rhythmic music that gets people tapping their feet or fingers…. to much faster, more intense music that gets guests in the mood for dancing.

Anthony is available for weddings and special events. If you haven’t heard this beautiful art form before, please stop by Caffe Carpe Diem today Aug 9th 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Location 3401 1st Avenue, San Diego, 92101
