Malcom Yassir Muñoz Saravia is a musician born in Perú – true to his heritage and culture, he’s sonically influenced by Latin-American genres like bolero, cumbia, valses and salsa while also being influenced by Afroamerican genres like rap, R&B, soul and jazz. His guitar playing is technically influenced and led by the instrument’s versatility – horn players, piano players and drummers are amongst his references – as well as his time of study at Mohawk College under the teachings of Pat Collins, Bob Shields and Emile d’Eon. He is currently an active Hamilton-based musician with the Tarek Funk band aside from his jazz gigs. Malcom is in pursuit of jazz mastery for the musical freedom it offers and hopes to bring it to whoever wishes to learn in the future ahead.
