Roger Espinoza spent years mastering the Spanish nylon guitar before
establishing himself as one of the Los Angeles areas leading practitioners, both
as a session musician and solo artist. 
Born in Granada, Nicaragua, but raised in Los Angeles, where he continued to
reside, Espinoza learned much about music from his father, who played piano. He
enrolled in private lessons at a young age and first learned to play the
trombone before eventually graduating to the Spanish nylon guitar.
After years of practice, Espinoza studied with Costa Rican guitarist Jorge
Strunz of Strunz & Farah fame and also studied with accomplished flamenco
soloist Gino Di Auri. In addition to learning to play on his guitar such styles
as rumba and flamenco, he learned to sing in these styles. Such talents led to
work as a live performer and session musician.
Some of his session work includes Luis Villegas Cafe Ole and K.C.s Aqui Estamos
Todos. Next, Espinoza embarked on a solo career of his own with Cafe Fuego, his
debut album. Released by New World Music, it showcases his command of the guitar
along with many ethnic American instruments such as the cajon, dumbec, snake
cocoon eggs, and more. (Jason Birchmeier)
