Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion

We are five musicians playing Flamenco guitar, cello, soprano saxophone, bass guitar and tabla and cajon. We're a very visual group with the flamenco guitar styles, cello, thrilling hand percussion and jazz improvisation! We perform all-original music that is sometimes slow, reflective and hauntingly beautiful, other times fiery salsa and flamenco. We love playing house concerts because the audience is up close and engaged, but we've also played big stages at jazz festivals and at good sized Denver venues. We consider ourselves a mostly acoustic band, although we do bring a couple of small amplifiers just to balance our sound appropriately for each venue. We can also bring a larger sound equipment set up for larger venues. Because there are five of us, we do require a stage or stage-like space of about 14ft across.

Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion has have been playing to sold out audiences in Colorado and were the honored winners of Denver’s Westword Magazine 2019 Best of World Music! Our CD “Turtle Dreams”, full of original music, has been described as “colorful and vibrant”, “emotional”, a “stunning combination of jazz, flamenco, and subtle world music”, and ”sophisticated rhythmic elements…emotional, natural and organic”. We have created dynamic videos with more in the works, and are regularly in the studio creating wonderful new recordings. Our second CD, Veneta, was released in 2020!

Guitarist Miguel Espinoza is phenomenal to listen to and watch play! His playing thrills audiences and his all-original music suits the entire band perfectly. The band's other players have performed with major orchestras, jazz festivals, and so many more great music events and organizations.

But enough from us - here's what others have to say about us. Will you be next?
Miguel is a freak show. He could do things on the guitar that my brain couldn’t comprehend. I would watch his fingers erupt effortlessly across the strings, but it never seemed to match the sounds I was hearing. Every time he touched a string, I was in awe. He’s a flamenco virtuoso and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.” – Brian Satterwhite (Composer for the IMAX film Ride Around the World)

“Should cure everyone from any disease or sickness, either in the body, soul or spirit…Joyous, inventive, perfectly crafted music. Deserves to climb the hit parade to Himalayan heights.”
– Sergio Vid, Brazilian Musician

“Miguel Espinoza is a mesmerizing guitarist.” (Guitar Player Magazine)

“Espinoza should not be missed.” – Dave Chamberlain (Chicago Reader)

“Espinoza is one of the most acclaimed flamenco guitarists in the world…”
– Bruce Pilato (Gannett News Service)

“Displaying a genius for musical form, [Espinoza's] ‘La Tormenta’ crosses Latin Jazz with flamenco and elements of Brazilian and salsa, accenting the storm of music with clever integrations of the Indian tabla.”
– Dave Chamberlain (Chicago Reader)

We require a stage or stage-like space that is a minimum of 12-14ft across depending upon the depth.

For house concerts and smaller spaces, we only require power outlets - we will bring all necessary equipment. For mid-size venues without house sound capabilities, we can provide a modest sound system with front speakers at a small additional cost to the host. For mid-sized or large venues with a house sound system, please contact us for our Tech Rider with full details.

We'll get back to you quickly if you have questions about technical requirements.
