Classical guitar
About
John W. Warren, on classical, acoustic, and electric guitar, frequently accompanied by sensational Brazilian percussionist Bruno Lucini, performs music that transcends boundaries of Latin/Brazilian, classical, and electronica romantica.
Composer and guitarist John W. Warren has performed extensively in the United States and Latin America. Bruno Lucini's extensive background as percussionist extends to several countries and includes performances at the Kennedy Center, among many others.
Warren and Lucini perform music from Brazil, Cuba, Latin America, and Spain; original compositions; and arrangements of popular songs, such as Massive Attack, Radiohead, Kate Bush and others, from the 60s to today. Warren performs solo at more intimate house concerts and as a duo with Lucini at larger Groupmuse gatherings.
