Edel Muñoz
A Cuban native and United States resident, Edel Muñoz is one of the most acclaimed and sought-after players in the classical guitar scene. Edel is first-prize winner in more than 20 international guitar competitions including the Boston GuitarFest, The Miguel Llobet International Competition in Barcelona, the Montreal International Guitar Competition, and the Havana International Guitar Festival.
