Spanish Guitar Band | Domingo DeGrazia and the DeGrazia Spanish Guitar Band | TEDxTucson

DeGrazia is an instrumental group that features Spanish Guitar and Classical violin in the context of contemporary music styles. Their music moves easily between classic Spanish guitar compositions, buoyant pop numbers, and provocative, downtempo pieces. DeGrazia is a powerhouse of original world music delivered with unforgettable passion.

The DeGrazia Spanish Guitar Band is a Tucson, Arizona-based group. The band's founder, Domingo DeGrazia, combines the Spanish guitar melodies with Flamenco techniques. Domingo DeGrazia and violinist, Beth Daunis, first played together impromptu in 2008 at a New Year's celebration. Their 2009 CD, The Bluest Sky, has received critical acclaim and they have since recorded a number of albums including the 2014 Spanish Guitar release, Nuance. In addition to live performances the band also writes sound track music for movies and TV. The band includes Kai Felix on drums, Mark Brugler on bass guitar, and Rick Skowron on guitar. The musical style is influenced by traditional Flamenco and Spanish guitar.
