Omar Torres (Omar Torrez) -Mexican-American guitarist from Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington.

Omar Torres performs “Music-story”, in which images of bars filled with smoke, musical gatherings in the Mississippi delta, Cuban rumba, and Avant-Funk style arise. He often plays his own original motives. This remarkable multifacetedness once attracted the attention of Tom Waits, the American singer and the author of the songs, the composer and actor who chose Omar with his guitarist for the famous 2008 tour “Glitter and Doom” in the USA, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, France, Ireland and France, and France, Ireland and Great Britain.

Torres participated in joint projects with such musical giants as: Kinky, The Buena Vista Social Club, Jethro Tull, Pancho Sanchez, Susana Baca, Mumiy Tall, Francisco Aguabella and Viola Trigo, as well as with many alternative musicians. But, first of all, Omar is a composer and author of songs. He performs mainly his own music.
