Spanish Guitarist
Spanish Guitarist in NJ for Weddings, Galas & Private Events
Authentic Spanish guitar for cocktail hours and private events across New Jersey.
Anthony Fuscaldo is a professional Spanish 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 romance of classical Spanish guitar to the rhythmic passion of flamenco and the warmth of Latin jazz, Anthony tailors the performance to the mood and setting of your event.
The Spanish guitar tradition is one of the most versatile and emotionally expressive in the world — equally at home in an elegant wedding ceremony, a candlelit private dinner, a rooftop cocktail hour, or a festive cultural celebration. Anthony draws from a rich repertoire spanning classical Spanish guitar, flamenco, rumba flamenca, bolero, and Latin jazz — including Spanish Romance (Romanza), Albéniz's Malagueña and Asturias, Antonio Lauro's Vals Venezolano, Paco de Lucía, and the Gipsy Kings. 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.
Whether you envision the delicate fingerpicking of Romanza for a ceremony, the infectious rhythm of rumba flamenca for a cocktail hour, or a blend of Spanish and Latin styles for a private dinner, Anthony brings the same level of artistry and professionalism to every performance.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I had a 40th birthday party for my husband. We were serving Spanish tapas so I thought it would be nice to have someone who could play a mix of both flamenco and contemporary-style music. Anthony delivered to the point that guests requested that he stay longer! He was also the consummate professional — arrived on time and extremely polite. I would not hesitate to recommend Anthony to others or hire him again." — Jennifer L., Birthday Party, New York City, October 2015
