Maurizio Fiore Salas Guitarist/Singer Available for Concerts and Recordings - Latin Music, Jazz

If available, I will ask for a vocal mic, a boom mic stand, 2 XLR cables and 1 guitar cable, and two channels in a mixer, compact PA speaker or acoustic amp. One channel for my vocal mic, and another for my acoustic guitar. Ideally both channels XLR but XLR and 1/4" also work.

- Photos of space
- Where do you want me to perform, there must be a power source
- Sound equipment available

For local gigs or gigs where I can travel by train, I can bring my own acoustic amplifier that has all the inputs I need, but depending on the size of the space I might need additional reinforcement for its volume. Fee can be negotiated per event.

No

I think every gig has something to it, but one of my favorite gigs has definitely been accompanying the great Paquito D' Rivera with my friend Juan Ruiz's ensemble in a gala performance at Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA.
The best venue I have ever worked at might be WBUR CitySpace in Boston, because I really loved the aesthetic of the space and the sound equipment and sound engineers were top-quality.

Intimate house concert, where I can see everyone in the audience and the experience can be truly unique based on the repertoire, the stories I tell and the improvisations that are inspired by the audience and the space.

I have been a performing musician for the last 8 years of my life, in many different formats and ensembles.

My most influential artists include: Rubén Blades, Mercedes Sosa, Paco de Lucía, Astor Piazzolla, Fredy Reyna, Charles Mingus, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, etc.

My setup is very simple, just me on a chair with my guitar and my mic, with the sound system wherever it needs to be.
My performance time is usually two 45 min sets, I find that the break is very useful for audiences and me alike, but I am also happy to perform one continuous set of around 75min.

Yes I can perform outside as long as I can be in a comfortable place (not in the blaring sun or too far from the audience) and have access to the same sound system I would if the event was indoors. My basic premise is, if the audience is comfortable, I can be comfortable, but if it's one or the other it can affect the quality of the performance.

I am happy to talk to the clients about their preferences and see if they are in my repertoire list.
If not, it would depend if they are songs I feel comfortable learning and performing for them, as I tend to choose my repertoire by paying very close attention to lyrics and content.

Intimate and deeply moving, a complete immersion into the song and the spontaneous composition of the performance.
