 Armando Figueroa’s musical roots date back to his youth, when as a 10-year-old East L.A. resident, he traded in his dancing shoes for a guitar. A trained folklórico dancer, Armando joined a Cinco de Mayo grade school choir and passionately strummed his first nylon-string acoustic guitar. He has never stopped playing since that fateful gig.
From Spanish, Top 40, Rock en español to rumba-flamenco and Latin-influenced ensembles, Armando’s talent, skill and versatility are undeniable. Armando plays Candela and Delgado Guitars. His recent guitar was built by Manuel Delgado of Delgado Guitars “A family tradition since 1928.”
Armando is Ostia’s guitarist, soundman and contact person. He is writing original material for Ostia with good friend and co-founder Adrian Ovando.
He also plays in a guitar duet with close friend and musician Carlos Castillo.
He is currently writing original music for his upcoming instrumental CD which will be available through this website. It will be a combination of light jazz and Spanish guitar.
Feel free to browse my website. I believe you will find our music to be festive and elegant. DJ and MC services also available.
