“A giant of the Flamenco guitar tradition.” The Times
A celebrated virtuoso of the Flamenco guitar who has been voted into the top three guitarists in the world (US magazine ‘Guitar Player’), Juan Martín is a native of Andalucía, where he still has a home in Málaga.
He has recorded 18 albums, mostly as a composer, and performs with a highly distinctive compositional style formed from his early years in Málaga and developed through wide experience in Madrid, including direct contact with Paco de Lucía.
Further experience came through recordings with the Royal Philharmonic and performances with many iconic artists including Miles Davis. The Spanish paper ‘El Mundo’ said of him ‘he has a terrifyingly good technique and an absolute dominance of the guitar, filling the concert hall with crystalline clarity.’
His alchemy of the traditional and modern, mixed with his seductive, fiery and passionate performances guarantee an evening of excitement and electricity, and he tours several different shows; for 2021 he presents his solo show, enhanced with minimal amplification to capture the essence of his style.
