Mario Otero is a reputable, spirited guitarist from El Paso, Texas (U.S.A.) who describes his style as Latin instrumental jazz/rock fusion, as documented on his latest release, "Las Guitarras De Mario Otero".  His guitar of choice is a '51 Les Paul. Otero has played guitar since 1966, and frankly confirms his career goal, "We are now in the process of opening the first guitar school in the area. I woul like to travel and perfom again after the kids are grown."
When requested to name his preferred effect for the guitar, Otero responded with, "Reverb," and submitted his musicial goals, "To become more proficient at my instrument." He would like to someday study classical guitar, and is currently listening to Toots Thielman, Paco de Lucia, Wes Montgomery and John Williams. His greatest satisfaction? "Happiness on my childrens faces. A great musical night at the club or concert," he answers indisputably.
 Otero mentions ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "I spend my days practicing and teaching guitar. The next album should be released in 3 months. This is a recording of myself and my new group " Las Guitarras de Fuego" consisting of two acoustic guitars and one acoustic bass. Performing old latin hits like "Besame Mucho", "Quisas Quisas Quisas", "Tarrantella", etc. All with our own arrangements. We really push the envelope as far as the metronome markings are concerned."
Otero's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one solo album ("Las Guitarras De Mario Otero").
