22 year music veteran, Guillermo Bonafé, grew up surrounded by great musicians.  His father and primary mentor, a highly respected professional pianist, exposed Guillermo to a variety of musical styles from Latin Jazz and Classical to Bebop and Funk.  Guillermo aka "Memo" began his musical career as a drummer but eventually moved over to bass after hearing "Live Art" by Bella Fleck & The Flecktones.  

"That album sparked an immense curiosity for bass, harmony, and improvisation in me."
