GREAT taxista for hire

I would like to thoroughly recommend my new friend Melko as a driver. He works by radio dispatch and by cellular with private clients. He is an expert driver, knows the whole city like the back of his hand. Not once did he even blink when I gave him an intersection or an address. He also doesnt feel the need to go 2349723686kph like some of these guys. I hired him yesterday for 7 straight hours to do my auditions. He took me to 8 different destinations, plus one stop for food, and then home. He helped me with my heavy gear in and out of bars the whole time, even helped me set up whenever he didnt have to watch the cab. He is a very easy going guy, not much of a conversationalist, but very polite and cool.
He charges 12k an hour, which is a little over the going rate of 11k an hour, but he is worth twice that IMO. His cell is 315 608 3358 and if he is busy he will recommend a reliable colleague for you. As some of you know, Bogota taxi drivers can really be hit or miss. Having a reliable guy like this is a great find!!

How long are you in Bogota for Rubiazo? I will be there in December and if you are there at this time , it would be good to see you play.
What kind of music do you play??
