David Maldonado is a true master of the Spanish guitar, marrying incredible guitar technique with the showmanship of a natural born performer. Maldonado's proficiency of Spanish guitar styles includes flamenco, classical and modern, along with challenging styles of rasqueado, a precise rapid strumming pattern using all the fingers of the right hand, and picados, which feature lightning-fast guitar scales. A true guitar virtuoso, Maldonado has brought his crowd-pleasing music across the globe, and has released four albums of music in a variety of Spanish guitar traditions.
Joining David are the exquisite dancers Linda Cevallos, Cristina Hall and others. Linda Cevallos (Dancing with the Stars) has performed all over the world with artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Reba McEntire and is currently on tour with Smokey Robinson. Cristina Hall (Artistic Director/performer in El Sonido del Silencio) is a renowned flamenco dancer who has studied with the acclaimed Eva Yerbabuena, Farruquito, Antonio Canales, and currently teaches and performs Flamenco in Sevilla, Spain. These performers, as well as the other phenomenally talented musicians were handpicked by David Maldonado to accurately demonstrate the growth and change of the Spanish Guitar styles and traditions spanning from the early 1900’s to present day.
