Celebrated virtuoso of the Flamenco guitar, Juan Martin has been voted into the top three guitarists in the world (US magazine ‘Guitar Player’). He has recorded 18 albums, mostly as a composer and has several DVDs distributed by Warner Brothers and Mel Bay.
Juan Martín tours several different shows; for 2017 he presents a new Flamenco programme of music, song and dance direct from Spain – Arte Flamenco Puro. The show brings great new artists, direct from Spain. Juan’s new dancer is the 18 year old star from Cádiz, Raquel Gonzalez. Her tremendous footwork and passion joined with the extraordinary singer Antonio Aparecida and the poetry and emotion of one of the world’s leading guitarists make for a performance not to be missed.
