Ignacio performed in his classical guitar duo with Edel Munoz for my law firm's first open house. It was unreal. Beautiful performance and total professionalism. People still talk about it. I've played for 25 years and was deeply humbled. I've never seen better.

Thank you so much Ignacio! We had such a wonderful time. Thank you for learning those special songs and playing them so well. I wish I would have had more time to talk to you. Thank you so much for sharing in our special day. It meant so much to us! Can't wait to hear it again from the video!! Loved it!
