Flamenco Guitarist

Flamenco Guitarist in Long Island for Weddings, Galas & Private Events

Flamenco and Spanish guitar for weddings, cocktail hours, and private events across Long Island.

Anthony Fuscaldo is a professional flamenco and Spanish classical guitarist based in the New York City metro area and one of the most sought-after local flamenco guitarists available on Long Island — available for weddings, cocktail hours, corporate events, private parties, cultural celebrations, and intimate gatherings throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County, the Hamptons, and the greater Long Island area. Whether you want the passionate intensity of traditional flamenco or the warm elegance of Spanish classical guitar, Anthony tailors the performance to the atmosphere of your event.

Rooted in the Spanish and Iberian guitar tradition, Anthony draws from a rich repertoire spanning traditional flamenco, rumba flamenca, classical Spanish guitar, and Mediterranean folk music — including Spanish Romance (Romanza), Albéniz's Malagueña and Asturias, Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Antonio Lauro's Vals Venezolano, Paco de Lucía, and the infectious rhythms of the Gipsy Kings. The result is a sound that is simultaneously visceral and elegant — full of dramatic shifts in energy and dynamics, from hushed intimacy to passionate intensity — transporting audiences to the sun-drenched cafés and intimate tablados of Andalusia.

Flamenco and Spanish guitar are particularly well suited to cocktail hours, private dinners, cultural events, and wedding receptions where a distinctive, memorable musical atmosphere is desired. The music speaks without overpowering — passionate enough to captivate, refined enough to complement conversation.

Ensemble performances can also include cajon percussionist, vocalist, bassist, and other musicians for larger events and special occasions.

Trusted for high-profile events. Anthony and his music groups have performed for Ferrari, Major League Baseball, Meta, American Express, Morgan Stanley, Citi, MetLife, the World Trade Center, Hilton, Marriott, the W Hotels group, Jose Cuervo, Yelp, Palantir, Convene, The Museum of New York, The Liberty Science Center, and Silverstein Properties. Past audiences have included Paris Hilton, Aaron Paul, Katie Couric, Chef Daniel Boulud, Ron Carter, Chuck Lorre, Judd Hirsch, and the New York Yankees.

A genuine recording and performing artist. Anthony has performed at events with Grammy-winning mandolinist Chris Thile and appeared as a performer in Amazon's Modern Love alongside Anne Hathaway. His albums have earned airplay on WKCR 89.9 FM (Columbia University) and WUIS 91.9 FM (NPR Illinois), with coverage in Jersey Jazz Magazine, Jazz Guitar Today, and The Syncopated Times.

Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anthony was the perfect addition to my husband's Spanish-themed 85th birthday celebration. His background music created just the right atmosphere — elegant, festive, and never overpowering. He was personable, exceptionally talented, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance. He helped make an already special evening even more memorable." — Sherry L., Birthday Party, July 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We hired Anthony to play for my husband's milestone birthday luncheon of about 40 people. He was extremely professional — arrived and set up early, and performed for 4 hours. The music was exactly what we requested — soft background music with Cuban, jazz, bossa nova, and pop. Not only is he very talented musically, he was also a joy to be with — very personable, helpful, and gracious. Our guests really enjoyed his music and company. Highly recommend!" — Laura N., Birthday Luncheon, Little Neck, Long Island, July 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anthony demonstrated an extremely broad range of musical styles from pop to classical, to rock, to samba. A delightful and well-received musical fiesta for all — we look very much forward to booking Anthony again." — Victor B., Corporate Cocktail Reception, New York City, November 2024
