Latin Guitarist in NJ for Weddings, Events & Private Occasions
Latin and Spanish guitar for weddings, cocktail hours, and private events across New Jersey — bossa nova, bolero, rumba flamenca, and beyond.
Anthony Fuscaldo is a professional Latin guitarist based in New Jersey, available for weddings, cocktail hours, corporate events, private dinners, cultural celebrations, and intimate gatherings throughout the state and the greater tri-state area. From the cool sophistication of bossa nova to the rhythmic energy of Latin jazz, the romance of bolero, and the infectious pulse of rumba flamenca, Anthony tailors the performance to the mood and setting of your event.
Latin guitar draws from one of the richest and most diverse musical traditions in the world — spanning the sun-drenched beaches of Brazil, the vibrant streets of Havana, and the romantic elegance of the bolero tradition. Anthony draws from a rich repertoire including Antonio Jobim's bossa nova classics — Girl from Ipanema, Corcovado, Wave, Agua de Beber — as well as beloved boleros including Sabor a Mí, Quizás Quizás Quizás, El Reloj, and Piel Canela, Latin jazz standards, samba, Son Cubano, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and Spanish guitar. He performs regularly at distinguished New Jersey venues including Liberty House and Battello in Jersey City, the Asbury Hotel in Asbury Park, Ninety Acres at Natirar in Peapack, River Pointe Inn in Rumson, and Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury.
Live Latin guitar creates a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that works beautifully for cocktail hours, private dinners, wedding receptions, cultural celebrations, and corporate events — music that is simultaneously festive and elegant, energetic and refined.
Ensemble performances can also include vocalist, percussionist, bassist, and other musicians for larger events and special occasions.

Past audiences have included Paris Hilton, Aaron Paul, Katie Couric, Chef Daniel Boulud, Ron Carter, Chuck Lorre, Judd Hirsch, and the New York Yankees.
