A Virtuoso of Melody and Magic Amilcar is not just a musician; he's a maestro who wields his instrument with unparalleled skill and finesse. Witnessing his performance at my son's wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. The repertoire he presented was as diverse as it was delightful. Not only did he flawlessly execute the Mongolian Wedding March, but he also effortlessly transitioned into an acoustic rendition of our chosen first dance song. It was evident that Amilcar had taken the time to understand our preferences and tailor his performance to create unforgettable moments. Throughout the evening, guests were captivated by his mastery, and many couldn't resist inquiring about his contact information. His music wasn't just background noise; it became the heartbeat of the celebration, weaving its way into the fabric of our memories. Amilcar's performance at our wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. His talent, passion, and dedication transformed an ordinary evening into an unforgettable symphony of love and joy. If you're searching for a musician to elevate your special occasion to new heights, look no further than Amilcar. He is, without a doubt, a musical virtuoso who leaves a lasting impression on all who have the privilege of experiencing his artistry. J. Jeron

Amilcar was a hit! His music beautifully complimented my sister's outdoor wedding in Echo Park! We received compliment after complement after the ceremony. He played a very nice blend of classical and contemporary, from Suite No. 1 to Stairway to Heaven. He is definitely a master at his craft. Further, he was a pleasure to work with, fluid communicator, and accommodating with requests. Highly recommended! Thank you Amilcar!
