Tesoro

An unforgettable live show and experience.

Tesoro was founded in 2000 by Brian Scott and Justin Fernandez. The two immediately began experimenting with a mix between Brian's classical guitar and hard rock styles with Justin's Flamenco background. Fusion rumba styles were created from the onset as they played many shows together in the beginning years. Between Tucson and Phoenix the two had enjoyed much success locally, but desired more for the group's ever-developing sound.

Throughout the years the sound of Tesoro continued to develop. Tesoro released Como en Vivo in 2003, as well as a live album in 2006 and 2011, recorded at 91.3 FM KXCI studios in Tucson, AZ.

Re-uniting in 2010, Brian and Justin were ready to once again push the limits of original music by fusing even more genres together with unique taste and color. For the first time vocal arrangements were part of Tesoro. Manuel Inigo, an accomplished vocalist and percussionist jumped at the opportunity to sing with the band. Manuel’s song-writing capabilities were sharp; his passion unmatched. The band draws in personal experience to express themselves through their original music. Tesoro recorded a live album at the historic Hotel Congress in Tucson in 2012.

With the sound complete and only great writing years ahead of them, this group is highly energetic and passionate about the music they compose and perform. Each member brings many musical influences that create the special sound that has made Tesoro a must see. Some of Tesoro's major influences include Paco de Lucia, Jesse Cook, Vicente Amigo, Mana, The Gipsy Kings, The Buena Vista Social Club, and so many more. Their sound is dynamic, energetic, and romantic.

Tesoro has a unique sound that captivates even the most sophisticated Flamenco purists and enthusiasts. With rock, world, and jazz influences, Tesoro takes Flamenco Fusion to a new level. Performing with groups like Del Castillo, Los Lobos and Calexico on multiple occasions throughout the years, memorable experiences both to the band members and fans were created. Flamenco dancer Natalie Fernandez performs with the group on occasion and has performed with such acts as the Gipsy Kings and Esteban.
