"Carlo Basile, a masterful guitarist, filled the room with gorgeous melodies" (Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times). "One of the guitar virtuosos on this planet!" (Rick Kogan, WBEZ).
Diego Alonso and Carlo Basile have performed and given Spanish guitar workshops around the world in countries such as Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, and Aruba.

Wedding Cocktail Hour

"The best decision I made in planning our event was hiring Carlo and David. Their talent, song selection, understanding of the audience, understanding of the venue, understanding of the event itself and what it called for, their ability to conform to the environment in which they played (which was a tropical jungle in Mexico with no electricity) all coupled with an amazing attitude and desire to give my guests the best performance possible made our wedding the most raved about event we or any of my guests have ever been to. We can not thank them enough!"

"We couldn´t have been more pleased with Carlo´s performance. He was professional and accommodating during every step of the booking process and most importantly he added the perfect musical backdrop for our event. We had my husband´s family and friends from Spain in town to help us celebrate and his music was highly regarded by all of them - a true testament to just how talented he is! We also gave a copy of his CD to each of our guests as a thank you gift, which they LOVED - I would definitely suggest this. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to book Carlo or through Gig-masters again."

"Las Guitarras/Spanish guitar duo made my wedding a really magical night. The sound was amazing! Vocals, guitars, cello and percussion all sounded great. I had quite a few musicians as guests who were blown away by the quality and talent. This band has such a wide range and pull off soft and calm as effortlessly as energetic and exciting! And of course when the percussionist added some flamenco dancing to the evening everyone was mesmerized and truly entertained. They were really so professional, so flexible and so so fun. I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with our choice! I would highly recommend this band for your next event! "

"We could not have been more delighted with the music provided by Carlo & Diego. They performed a variety of classical Spanish guitar music pieces and even took a request to play a piece by the Gipsy Kings. Their music was absolutely beautiful & they are wonderful guitar players! We received many amazing comments & inquiries from our guests including the guests of honor on how much the enjoyed the music. Thank you Carlo & Diego for helping us create this beautiful memory for my brother and his wife on the their anniversary!"

"FIVE stars for all of the above. They were "early to arrive, set up and prepare"! Lovely music, lovely people wish they were in Newport Beach, CA for my son's wedding this September. Would hire them in a heart beat again. "

"We hired Carlo to play guitar solo during the cocktail hour and dinner portion of our wedding. He was absolutely perfect!! Very professional, yet relaxed. His music was lovely, and the feeling and scene he created for during our outdoor cocktail hour was phenomenal. The music he chose was so romantic and classy, and was especially nice to have while everyone was eating dinner. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to create a romantic feel at their wedding. Having a guitarist was also very unique as none of my friends had one at their weddings, so I feel it made our wedding that much more memorable. I am so so happy we booked him!"
