Rouzbeh

Pure, natural talent... An unfailing dedication to his craft... A love of music dating back to an early age...These are just a few of the things that have made Rouzbeh Hoshmandy one of the most acclaimed flamenco guitar players in the south. With the release of his first CD in September of 2003, Rouzbeh has enjoyed the success of his craft and can be seen weekly at such Atlanta venues as Eclipse di Luna and Nava. His colorful personality and impressive style has captivated audiences across the country and as far away as Madrid, Spain.At the age of 13 Rouzbeh's older brother was given a guitar. His brother showed little interest in the instrument, so Rouzbeh would quietly sneak it away when the opportunities were available, teaching himself how to play. Several years later, Rouzbeh decided to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music, where he discovered a passion for flamenco music.Rouzbeh plays flamenco guitar finger-style, universally recognized as the most difficult and entertaining method of playing. Audiences are mesmerized by the beautiful music, the flashing hands, and precise finger-work that is the hallmark of his style.
