    Buca was a pleasure to work with. He really understood what it was I was to achieve without having to overly explain things.
    Buca went above and beyond to make sure that I had what I needed to the point he provided me with additional takes and alternative versions.
    Buca is a very talented guitarist and Bouzouki player. I will definitely come back to Buca again for any guitar parts. Thank you!!
