About Juan Martín
Juan Martín learned his art, and spent his early years in Flamenco in Andalucia – part of southern Spain. As a teenager, he played in local fiestas, weddings and baptisms, developing his knowledge and skills in the disciplines of the purest traditions of flamenco.
At the age of 17, already playing professionally, he performed in the film ‘Donde tu estés’, filmed in the Málaga region. He also accompanied singers including El Chocolate, Manolo Gafas and Antonio Canillas At the age of 18 he went to Madrid where he gained wide experience with many leading players, dancers and singers. He was greatly influenced by the example and encouragement of the legendary guitarist Niño Ricardo and Juan also became a regular visitor to the home of his friend Paco de Lucía with whom he studied in his early twenties.
Voted into the top 3 flamenco guitarists in the world by Guitar Player USA, Juan Martín has toured the world playing concerts from Shanghai and Melbourne to New York as well as in the Montreux Jazz Festival. Critics have compared his compositional talent to that of Albéniz, Turina and Tárrega. He played for Picasso’s 90th birthday celebrations and his books and films for learning the guitar are now translated into many languages with his original book ‘El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra’ being referred to as ‘The Bible’ of flamenco guitar.
Concert will take place 14th June, from 7:30pm, doors opening at 6:45pm.
