GABRIEL AYALA
A member of the Yaqui people of Southern Arizona, guitarist Gabriel Ayala is a classically trained musician, composer and award winning artist. He performs regularly throughout the United States and internationally. Gabriel was a featured performer at President Barack Obamaʼs Inaugural Celebration, and he had the great privilege of playing for Pope Benedict XVI in Rome, Italy. Gabriel has appeared at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, National Museum of the American Indian, the Oscar Meyer Theater in Madison, Wisconsin and at the “Festival Internacional de la Guitarra Academica” in Venezuela. In addition to classical music, Gabriel writes and performs many diverse genres of music which include jazz, flamenco, tango and most recently JazzMenco – his own, original genre of music. JazzMenco can be described as the driving rhythmic force of flamenco with the improvisational feel and chord structure of jazz. Gabriel has released eleven CD’s, seven of which are under his own label, DeezMas Recordings, all demonstrating his versatility and penchant for creating works that connect with the hearts of his audience. As Gabriel continues to travel throughout the United States and other countries, he serves as an advocate for education for all youth. He does this through guitar workshops, motivational speaking, and presentations in various minority communities. He sets an example for native communities by instilling his values of living a traditional lifestyle while abstaining from alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Gabriel believes in leading our children in the right direction through his philosophy, “Love your children, Honor your elders, and Respect your Women." |
