We first met Raziel at a restaurant where he was playing to entertain guests. We were immediately drawn to Raziel's talent with the guitar. Playing several classical numbers, guests were easily drawn to his excellent and flawless guitar playing as well as his diversity in using this instrument. So captured by his talent, we later invited Raziel to play for Jeff's 60th birthday party. Guests at our party commented on how much they enjoyed Raziel's music as well as his quiet, engaging and humble personality. We again met Raziel at a friend's Mexican Dinner fundraising function. Again he demonstrated his diverse guitar playing and he livened up the party with Mexican guitar music and taught Mexican dancing to fellow guests making it a very fun, culture full, evening.
We have no hesitation in recommending Raziel.
Raziel is a lovely and talented artist. His guitar playing is outstanding!
We wish him all the best for the future!
Kind regards,
Jeff and Connie Woods (Ferntree Gully, Vic)
Raziel is an extremely talented classical guitarist, singer/songwriter who we first met when he was playing at a special function in Yarra Junction (Victoria, Australia).
We have since enjoyed hearing him play on a few occasions, the most recent of which, at a function at our home where he sang and played to a group of 40 admirers.
Raziel is a delightful, gentle, friendly and courteous man and I would recommend him to you if you wanted to add a special dimension to an event.

I have known Raziel Gutierrez Soto for more than 5 years and have been fortunate to attend many of his musical performances. Without exception it was an enjoyable experience every time I had such an opportunity. I have witnessed him perform in a variety of settings, ranging from playing informal jam sessions and performances in cafe/restaurant settings to more formal settings such as his contributions to the performance of William Shakespear’s Midsummer Night’s Dream by a group of college graduates of the Melbourne Rudolf Steiner Seminar in 2011.
Raziel is clearly a very talented and gifted guitar player and his devotion to music is exceptional. He obviously is not just talented as a guitarist, but also as a composer. I clearly remember on several occasions being moved while listening to him playing some of his own work during these performances.
I and many of my friends have purchased his CD and, after having it for several years now, it still gets played regularly. Recently I and my partner were invited for dinner by friends, and to my pleasant surprise Raziel’s CD was played during dinner. Very appropriately I may add, because it is a wonderful selection of tracks, played very beautifully. Every time I listen to it I cannot help thinking how remarkable it is that this beautiful CD was recorded in a matter of a couple of hours in a small studio in Geelong.
