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 |
