Bio...
Puente del Diablo was conceived in Spain, around the place where the actual Devil's Bridge (hence the name Puente del Diablo) can be seen today. Having travelled there for an extended visit, Gustavo rediscovered the wealth of guitar driven Latin music that had coloured his youth in Canada. Returing to Toronto, he decided to make a dramatic adjustment in the music he was playing and listening to, and thereafter drew a lot of momentum from the Spanish Flamenco guitarists and performers, notably Paco de Lucia and Tonino Baliardo of the Gipsy Kings. Artist description: Critically acclaimed World Beat Flamenco! Have recently opened for Latin superstar Marc Anthony!. Music style: Rumba Flamenco World Beat Guitar Similar Artists: Gipsy Kings, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Liebert Artist history: Rumba Flamenco: Touring the eastern continent of Asia to the southern U.S. Puente del Diablo have emerged as world class performers, leaving all those who have encountered their performances captivated and inspired. Conceived in Spain and eventually formed in Canada, founding member, leadguitarist/songwriter Gustavo Scolieri. Combining the poetic fires of rumba flamenco passion, energizing dance beats mixed with the soothing sounds of flamenco guitar, their highly anticipated debut full length recording "415", has already proven itself to be in high demand.
