Flamenco, rumba, bossa nova and classical guitar for Miami weddings, private celebrations and corporate events, played by the artist who also runs your evening.
Sergio De Gouveia plays nylon-string Spanish guitar for weddings, private celebrations and corporate events across Miami and South Florida. Seated at the ceremony, roaming table to table at the cocktail hour, then, if the night calls for it, behind the decks as a bilingual DJ. One artist for the whole evening.
Prelude, processional and recessional chosen song by song. Classical and Spanish pieces for the arrival, then flamenco, Latin and modern songs rearranged for nylon-string guitar. Up to three requests arranged for the ceremony, and a professional sound system set for the space.
Live guitar at conversational volume, present enough to notice and quiet enough to talk over. Sergio reads the room as it fills: classical and Mediterranean as guests arrive, then Latin, flamenco and modern hits as the energy lifts.
The move from live guitar to the DJ rig is invisible. Sergio hosts in English, Spanish or both, and mixes Latin, Top 40 and Mediterranean so mixed-language guest lists stay on one floor. No handoff between vendors, no change in the sound.
Flamenco, rumba flamenca, bossa nova, classical Spanish guitar and Mediterranean standards, plus Spanish-guitar takes on the modern songs guests request. Sergio performs and MCs in English and Spanish, with songs in Portuguese, French, Italian and beyond. Every piece is memorized, so he can leave the stage and play through the room.
