Onstage, his posture is incredibly striking when the rhythms he unleashes set the crowds aquiver. Born in Guadalcanal, in the province of Seville, he lives in Cordoba. First prize in guitar at the Festival Nacional del Cante de las Minas de la Unión (a vocals festival) in 1988, he has found international success, has received many awards, including the Latin Grammy Award for Best Flamenco Album for Paseo de Gracia in 2009 (Sony Music), and has played with the very best, such as John Mc Laughlin, Paco de Lucia, and David Bowie. For his seventh album, Tierra, released in 2013, he is surrounded by outstanding musicians whom we mostly see onstage. The inner circle consists of percussionist Paquito Gonzalez, guitarist Añil Fernandez, and singer Rafael de Utrera, whose voice modulations grab you by the throat. As they play the songs, they are joined by composer and keyboardist Guy Fletcher, formerly of Dire Straits, who arranged the album’s nine songs, as well as flutist Mike McGoldrick and bassist Ewen Vernal, both from the Scottish Celtic music group, Capercaillie. Without losing an ounce of flamenco rhythm, which is the backbone of the concert, Amigo combines this traditional folk inspiration with his universe. The burst of song in the melody and the tempo of clapping or scraping hands contribute to the excitement. The simplicity of these virtuoso musicians captivates as much as it charms.
