Info:
Spanish guitarist and composer Vicente Amigo loves to take the long view.
"I come from flamenco, I have a great respect for flamenco and it would probably be impossible for me to leave flamenco. It's a way to feel and it is rooted that deeply in me," he says. "But flamenco is just one of music's children. Music and art are bigger than flamenco and what's most important for me is expressing myself."
A transcendent performer, composer and producer, Amigo burst onto the major stages of flamenco while still a teenager. Since then, he has earned a shelf full of awards, including the Medalla de Oro al Merito en las Bellas Artes, roughly Spain's equivalent of the National Medal of Arts, in December 2015, as well as a Latin Grammy for Ciudad de Las Ideas (City of Ideas) in 2001.
A musician's musician, Pat Metheny called him "The greatest guitarist alive."
While over the years he has performed before sold-out halls in places such as New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C and Chicago, this is his first major tour of the United States.
The Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival is proud to bring unique programming and world-class flamenco artists to Los Angeles, having presented some of the world's most acclaimed and influential flamenco artists including Vicente Amigo, Los Farrucos, Diego El Cigala, Juana la del Pipa, La Tania, Tia Yoya, Luis Moneo, Diego del Morao, La Curra, Kina Mendez, Maria Bermudez, Teatro Flamenco, Adam del Monte, Omayra Amaya, Gema Moneo & many more.
