For the last 15 years Dr Sanchez has played professionally as a Latin Guitarist all over Europe and Australasia, from session work in recording studios in Sweden, Street performances in Barcelona, Tapas Bars in Dublin and contracts with most of the large hotel chains such as Hilton, Versace, and Marriot. Dr Sanchez has worked the spectrum of live guitar performances as a soloist and with other musicians for large corporate functions such as the Gold Coast Indy, The Americas Cup and most recently was invited to play in Borneo by the Malaysian Government.One of the few full time professional performers of Spanish and South American music in New Zealand, Dr Sanchez has developed his improvisational skill in instrumental guitar into an exciting occupation – averaging around 260 performances a year. Dr Sanchez plays a mixture of traditional Mediterranean and South American songs, from artists such as Paco de Lucia, Armik, Ottmar Liebert and Santana..right thru to original tracks that lean more toward progressive beats fused with nylon string guitar..all improvised and dynamic. Dr Sanchez embraces the sounds of Latin Guitar in both the traditional and new flamenco manner.
More recently Dr Sanchez has teamed up with Senor Oscar Leal, an amazing Spanish vocalist and a professional musician in his native Chile. Dr Sanchez is currently based in Christchurch, New Zealand and plays many weekly residencies and also tours extensively during Summer around NZ playing festivals. Having lost all regular venues in the aftermath of The 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes, Dr Sanchez is now working in a revitalised Christchurch, playing up to 10 shows a week in the exciting new restaurants and wine bars that are emerging.
