Feedback
- Miguel played at my mom's birthday party and our friends and family LOVED him! He played a variety of music: bossa nova, Gypsy Kings, Buena Vista Social Club - just to name a few. We will definitely hire him for future parties!! His music really set the ambience. Thank you, Miguel! -- Andrea G, Monterey Park, CA, 12/17/2011
- I helped plan my office's holiday party where Mr. Rivera performed, but I sadly was unable to attend. However, I received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on what an excellent job he did. It seems that his performance was most people's favorite part of the party. Thank you! -- Sara S, Riverside, CA, 12/15/2011
- They arrived right on time and dressed appropriately. Commenced right at the designated time. Their entire performance was nothing less than 5 stars. Both Miguel and Marco are extremely talented musicians and can read the mood of the crowd and played the right kind of music at the right time.
Everybody loved their performance and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody! -- John W, San Bernardino, CA, 10/22/2011
- He made the party even better!! We hope to hire him again soon!! -- Crisitna C, Tustin, CA, 1/14/2006
- Miguel played acoustic guitar (Flamenco, Brazilian) with a small battery powered amplifier at our beach birthday party. He was excellent. He provided a wonderful background ambiance and occasionally walked around and played and sang for specific people, but not in an invasive or awkward way. Everyone loved him. I would recommend him highly. If you have him play for a similar event, be sure to have an armless chair for him to sit. He provides everything else. -- Tim A, Laguna Beach, CA, 7/30/2005
- Miguel's talent is superb. He had the crowd of 80+ entranced by his captivating latin sounds, the combination of his guitar talent and extraordinary voice made the evening a total success. The women in the crowd were goo goo gaa gaa over his latin look! Truly a crowd pleaser, I highly recommend him for any event ! -- Ross S, Cypress, CA, 7/23/2005
- I hired Miguel for my graduation party. Everyone commented on how good he was. I was really happy I hired him. He's great! -- Lisa M, Topanga, CA, 7/9/2005
- I received rave reviews for his performance at the Grand opening of Babylonia on Feb 12th 2005, Hermosa Beach. -- Tina J, Hermosa Beach, CA, 2/12/2005
- Miguel agreed to play at our library event months ahead of time. He asked specifics about the type of information we wanted him to present. Miguel arrived early to set up and played a wonderful set. He did a great job of conveying information to the audience about latin guitar and musicians. He was very pleasant to work with and we hope to have him back at future events. -- Gladstone B, Camarillo, CA, 10/3/2011
- He was booked for three hours, arrived at 7:15 and left at 10. That's only 2hrs 45 minutes. At a $100 per hour, I can afford to complain.
Otherwise he was good. -- David B, Pasadena, CA, 1/18/2006
