Artist description Dos Amigos - Biography Dos Amigos was formed in 2002. The band consists of Ray Mayer and Fernando Santamaria, uniting two guitar talents, which total 40 years of experience. The guitaring duet focuses on easy listening semi jazzy, Spanish style which delights audiences of all ages. "Claro Que Si" is the first song written by Dos Amigos and we plan to write more songs this summer, to add to our repertoire. Ray started playing electric/acoustic guitar when he was 14 years old and changed to bass when he was 24 years old. He joined Dont Fret in 1997 where he contributed his melodic and snappy bass licks for four years. Ray continues to play bass guitar but also has a unique talent playing classical guitar and invents acoustic rhythms that make any leads sound great. Fernando is of Spanish descent and has always had an ear and love for lead guitar (classical, Spanish Flamenco, jazz, and rock). He bought his first guitar when he was 17 years old and from there played to his hearts content. In 1997 Dont Fret was formed and he became the lead guitarist. Fernando plays most of the leads in Dos Amigos, although Ray also has a few guitar licks in his back pocket.
