I would like you to meet someone very special to me. He is one of the best flamenco guitarists I have worked with, and I feel very privileged and honoured that I had the opportunity to perform with him. His name is Teye. Please have a look at his websites, they are absolutely fascinating! And if you are concidering starting your own flamenco music collection, this is a perfect place to start:
