Daveed was born in Guatemala city, where his interest
in Latin American music began at and early age. He inmersed
himself in a wide variety of musical styles such as music
of the Andes, Tango, Flamenco, Rancheras, Trios etc, but
it was always the Latin Guitar that moved him most. Moving
to New Orleans, LA in 1982 to finish his higher education
studies, a new era of his life began, this time with guitar
in hand.
In New Orleans as well as in Los Angeles, Daveed has demonstrated
his talent as a guitarist and composer since his beginnings
as a church choir director followed by various musical
activities that have included studio work, live performances,
while leading his own group or being part of other groups.
In 2001 Daveed played a very small but significant role
in a short film called King Returns where he plays himself
and performs live on the set.
Whether it be a joropo, bossa nova. bolero, rumba, Latin
Jazz, or bulerías, Daveed follows his love for the
Latin Guitar and Latin America itself, that vast continent
that forms the deepest roots of this young guitarist who
offers us a celebration and fusion of new and ancient cultures.
Daveed has different music combinations with other guitars,
percussion and horns if desired. His band is great for
ceremonies, cocktail hours and and any Latin requested
event for great listening and some dancing music.
