Interview

“The first part of my life with the guitar has been at the flamenco school Amor de Dios in Madrid, which was where I started playing, basically. To play and feel myself guitarist.

»The second part was the step that Paco de Lucía gave me and took place when I went to work with him.

»And in the tablao I feel like at home. Because there’s a lot of love on stage, there’s a lot of quality and it’s like being at home. You feel very grateful and very accomplished».
