Live Classical / Spanish / Fingerstyle Guitar Music in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Performing exclusively our own instrumental arrangements for two guitars,
we present intimate musical events for small audiences. Our repertory includes
mexican songs, tangos, rumba flamenco, pop songs, movie themes, light classical music, and our originals.
You may hear our music at any of several local restaurants when you visit
San Miguel de Allende, or you may arrange a
private performance
for your guests.

Video: Jack and Frances play "Besame Mucho"
Frances y Jack,
Patricia and I enjoyed meeting you and especially hearing you play ... what a treat to be seated closely,
so that we could hear (and see) the subtlety of your playing and experience the seamless interweaving of
guitars in your duets.
The round and full sound (warm & well-balanced, articulate in both bass and treble ranges) of the Spanish
guitar has now been imprinted in such a way that I will never forget its beauty. Your playing demonstrates
its potential and interprets your choice of music in such a way that it is uniquely yours. Thank you for
such a personal yet professional presentation.
- John G.

We play without microphones, pickups or amplifiers for many of our performances.
(We have a sound system for medium-size events, which we also use in those restaurant gigs which require it,
but we don't enjoy playing for large crowds. Whenever the acoustical environment permits it, we play unamplified.)
We perform regularly for tourists from all over the world. For Mexican audiences, we play popular
and traditional Mexican songs such as
- La Bikina
- Jarabe Tapatio
- El Dia Que Me Quieras
- Sabor a Mi
- Maria Elena
- Besame Mucho
When American and Canadian tourists come in, we may play
- Blackbird
- Classical Gas
- Somewhere Over The Rainbow
- Here Comes The Sun
- Tears In Heaven
and everybody appreciates
- El Toro Enamorado de la Luna (Gypsy Kings)
- Fur Elise (Beethoven)
- La Cumparsita (the most famous tango ever)
- Romance de Amor (our arrangement for 2 guitars)
- Impossible Dream
all played in our own unique arrangements.
We also have our original music: tangos, rumba flamenco, and other music which is
not categorizable and which you will just have to come and listen to.
See you soon in San Miguel de Allende! It's a lovely little Mexican
town (founded 1546) with a colorful history and a thriving arts community. Located in the state of Guanajuato
in the central highlands of Mexico.
