Tito has been my nickname since my birth in Mexico City
I've played classical and improvisational guitar since age thirteen. My repertoire spans from fifteenth century vihuela and lute transcriptions to twentieth century music written expressly for the guitar. My free-composed improvisations blend classical, flamenco, and jazz ideas.
