July 17, 2023Guillermo and his band provided the best entertainment for our "Havana Nights" themed corporate event. They were passionate about their music, polite and professional. His responses to my questions before booking were timely, and he stayed in touch when we booked his group through the event date. All of our attendees commented on how wonderful and authentic the music was and they were a pleasure to listen to. I highly recommend!
