Details:
This self taught virtuoso guitarist stands out
because of his extraordinary musicianship and
original interpretations of so many different
musical styles, with more than two decades of
artistic life to his credit. He picked up a guitar at
the tender age of 12 in his native Buenos Aires,
Argentina and has not looked back since.
Dani has had the opportunity to tour
extensively in South America, Europe and Japan,
not only as a soloist, but also as a member of
several musical ensembles. He has shared the
stage with numerous renowned Jazz greats. In
Japan, his ensemble “los Indios” was requested
for a private concert for the Heir Prince Naruhito
and other Imperial Japanese family. His varied
musical styles include: The Argentine samba,
Chacarera, Tango, Milonga, Chilean Cueca, and
the Paraguayan Polka and Guarania as well as
the Waltz, Bolero and cha-cha-cha to name a few.
In 1991, Dani decided to dedicate himself
to his true passion, Latin & Brazilian Jazz.
Another moment where he didn’t look back.
A special Kennedy Center Concert brought
Dani Cortaza to Washington DC in 2002, where he
now calls home. Dani is the founder of two
dynamic musical groups specializing in latin jazz
and brazilian music of which he directs.
Additionally, he teaches guitar at the Falls Church
Conservatory as well as privately.
Dani has had many crowning moments,
among them is the 2004 concert with Flautist
Nestor Torres and Jazz pianist Dick Morgan. April
2005 found him in the Teatro Tom Jobim in
Asuncion, where he received excellent review by
the press. Currently Dani is basking in the
success of his debut cd “Expressions” and poised
for the next level.
Dani Cortaza is a Master Guitarist, plain
and simple. He has earned that title. Once you
see him live it will be evident when his fingers
begin to fly!
