John W. Warren, composer and Latin American classical guitarist, has performed extensively in the United States and Latin America. In solo performance, and with sensational Brazilian percussionist Bruno Lucini, Warren specializes in the music of Brazil, Cuba, Latin America, and Spain; his own compositions; and arrangements of popular songs, on classical, acoustic, and electric guitar. Warren has presented concerts, radio performances, and performed at private and corporate events throughout the United States, and in Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, and Spain.
