Born
in 1963, he starts playing the guitar at the age of nine years,
self instructed in the first place, as is common in the world
of flamenco.
At
thirteen he starts performing in public in several places
that were fashionable in those times, interpreting pieces
by Paco de Lucía.
Several
years later he composes and records the music with which the
Spanish group of rhythmic gymnastics participates in European
Championship in Athens.
He
participated in “Memoria del Bolero” with Tranvía
teatro, with La Rueda Teatro in “Garcia Lorca”,
in the show “Ausencias Vivas” (also dealing with
the genius poet), and the argentinian group “Me lo contó
Buenos Aires”…
He
has played in Madrid (Scala), Barcelone (Palacio de Exposiciones
y Congresos de Montjuit), Mourenx (in the south of France).
With
his guitar, he accompanied Manuel Monje
Cruz, the immortal Camarón’s brother,
and has shared stage with Tomatito and
Gerardo Núñez.
He
as well has been collaborating with Gerardo Núñez
in the international summer courses given every year in Sanlúcar;
being Gerardo Núñez considered by many as the
most virtuoso creator guitarist of our generation. He has
transcribed several pieces by Gerardo Núñez
in pentagram, forming a book that is distributed internationally
and is of great help for every guitar student.
Not
to forget about his flamenco tour throughout Belgium, where
he works with the dance couple formed by Miguel Chaves and
María Maestre, working with the pianist and composer
Miguel Angel Remiro. With the latter
he forms an interesting flamenco company that has realized
several representations in Spain and Europe, and for which
he composed the music.
With
the group from Cadiz “Desde la cuna del arte”,
he toured through the Arab Emirates. He also has realized
the transcription of several of guitarist Serranito´s
pieces for a book that belongs to a didactical video published
by RGB Arte Visual S.L.
At
the moment he is working on an officially requested (by “De
Lucia Gestion S.I.”) book with transcription of all
of guitar genius Paco de Lucia´s
work, which will take our immortal guitarist’s work
to aficionados all over the world.
His
first recording “Mil Abrazos”
contains seven compositions full of flamenco inspiration and
emotion.
