"El Viejín's guitar playing is characterised by a knowing virtuosity, (that is) overwhelming". José Manuel Gamboa, flamencologist
|
|
He is currently one of the most talented guitarists. After cutting his teeth in flamenco tablaos, especially in the Corral de la Morería, he began to stand out in the accompaniment of singing and dancing, disciplines in which he worked for artists like Gabriel Moreno, Lola Greco, El Güito, Faíco, Ramírez and Antonio Canales.
El Viejín has also become renowned for composing the music for the staging of Antonio Canales' most successful choreographies, and for the documentary on female dancing, Flamenco Women, that was made by Mike Figgis. His skill has allowed him to work with other great figures of the Spanish guitar. Thus, Paco de Lucía called him up to substitute Juan Manuel Cañizares in his sextet during its tour in 1998. |
