Guitarist |
Composer / songwriter |
| Name:Vicente Amigo Girol |
| Birth: 1967 Guadalcanal, Sevilla |
"No one can replace Paco de Lucía".
|
|
He is one of the most outstanding flamenco concert guitarists, although he has also played as a backing guitarist on recordings by Pelé, Camarón de la Isla, Vicente Soto, Luis de Córdoba and the rociero band Salmarina, and he has acted as a producer for Remedios Amaya and José Mercé. His last work, Ciudad de las Ideas, won the Latin Grammy for the Best Flamenco Album in 2001 and the 2002 Ondas award for the best Flamenco Work.
Although he is Sevillian by birth, he was raised and lives in Córdoba, where he attended his first guitar lessons with El Tomate and El Merengue, and later, he perfected his guitar playing with Manolo Sanlúcar, with whom he worked for ten years. After a period of accompaniment which began alongside Pelé, he started to devote himself almost exclusively to playing concerts in 1988. De mi corazón al aire (1991) was his first record. A childhood admirer of Paco de Lucía, he took part with him in the show Leyendas de la guitarra (Guitar legends) that was held in Seville as a foretaste of the Expo 92 exhibition, and featured Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Phil Manzanera, Joe Cocker, Jack Bruce and Richard Thompson. By that time, he had already been awarded some of the most prestigious flamenco guitar prizes.
In 1992, alongside Leo Brouwer, he composed and recorded the Concierto para un marinero en tierra, a tribute to Rafael Alberti, which was included later as part of his album Poeta (1997) for which he obtained Premios de la Música (Music Awards) in the Best Flamenco Artist and Best Flamenco Composer categories. He is open to experimenting and gaining in-depth knowledge about other forms of music, and he has taken part in recordings by Miguel Bosé, Carmen Linares, Manolo Sanlúcar, Wagner Tiso, Rosario, Nacho Cano, Alejandro Sanz... and has shared the stage with the greatest artists: Paco de Lucía, Stanley Jordan, John Mc Laughlin, Al Di Meola, Milton Nascimiento… |
