Juan Martín
I've seen Juan Martin in concert on Saturday, and it was quite brilliant and very instructive in terms of linking modern flamenco with the ancient precursors, such as moorish and sephardic traditions of pre-reconquista Spain. Apparently he is one of the 3 best living guitar players : "A celebrated virtuoso of the flamenco guitar who has been voted into the top three guitarists in the world by US magazine Guitar Player, Juan Martín is a native of Andalucía, where he still has a home in Málaga. He spends much time on tour and in London where he has formed an international company, Flamencovision, for the promotion of high quality flamenco which he rehearses and brings direct from Andalucía. He has recorded 14 albums, mostly as a composer and presently has 4 videos distributed by Warner Brothers which, despite their purity, are always amongst their best sellers.
