check_circleVerifiedMarcelo was professional with his work, prompt with communication and I enjoyed working with him.
Marcelo is probably the most talented musician I have ever met.
A mix of extreme knowledge and pure flow, he has set the bar really high on South American folk flutes that most musicians pale in comparison.
A super talented, ethical, open-minded, non-egoic musician is a rare find!
I will hire him on every chance I have.Marcelo is probably the most talented musician I have ever met.
