RUBEN "GITANO" RAMOS

Ruben's Latin guitar album Gitano Ramos "Latin Guitar Diaries" is a reflection of music that has been inspired throughout many of his experiences growing up in East Los Angeles as well as traveling the world. This new music is passionate, invigorating, and very intoxicating. His last work "Sudbury & Ramos" "Connexion Eclectique" showcased his vast skills as a composer, arranger, guitarist, engineer, mixer, and graphic artist. The album received great reviews from stations around the country such as NPR's WBEZ and KCRW. This new piece of work involves some of Ruben's favorite styles of music from places such as Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, and the South American countries like Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. Some of his current collaborations in this musical realm are artists such as Jim Stubblefield solo srtist and member of the reknown World Guitar Fusion group Incendio, composer and guitarist Joe LoPiccolo, percussionist Bryan Brock, percussionist Ramon Islas, accordion master Gigi Rabe, and violin great Anna Stafford. 

Ruben Ramos has played, recorded and toured with Rock, Jazz, Classical, and even Bluegrass bands with such names as Rock legend Eddie Money, Jazz saxophone legend Tom Scott, NYC trombone great Luis Bonilla, actor and singer David Hasslehoff, Broadway sensation Davis Gaines, Aussie super group The Ten Tenors, and hit songwriter extraodinaire Michael Gurley from the band "dada." 

Ruben's background creates some of the most unique and interesting music while being accessable to the casual listener as well as to a skilled musical artist.
