Richard Valdez

Just Richard Valdez, his voice and a guitar: the set moves between tender Latin ballads and the dance favourites that pull people out of their chairs. Guantanamera, Chan Chan and El Cuarto de Tula sit next to Bamboleo, Oye Como Va and La Bamba, with Sway in there too. Being a one-man show, Richard slots neatly into a wedding, a dinner or a birthday where you want Latin music close to the guests. He's a Sydney singer, based in Bondi, and travels up to 50 km.
