#Vicente amigo paseo de gracia professional#
His professional and recording career began as Manolo Sanlucar's apprentice, playing third guitar with the legendary guitarist from Cadiz. At the city's renowned guitar academies, amongst which that of Merengue de Córdoba, he quickly became one of their most outstanding students. Living in Cordoba since the age of five, Vicente Amigo began studying guitar when still very young, and bought his first guitar when eight. He is a true sultan from Córdoba, and he is ready to conquer the world.īorn in the Spanish town of Guadalcanal near Seville in 1967, flamenco guitarist Vicente Amigo is hailed as the “new Paco de Lucia.” Quite a compliment for one so young! Yet, given his formidable talent for innovation and already prodigious career, the comparison seems far from outrageous.
To his masterful and magical use of music we must add his personal charisma, which makes him irresistible on stage. It is exciting for the connoisseur, but also accessible to everyone. it is so powerful, it is lifted off the sheet music and propelled into space. This is music to dance to with the spirit. His guitar constantly stimulates our imagination. Vicente Amigo appears to be enveloped by a charismatic and ethereal air, his gaze seemingly lost in the distance. Somewhere between poetry and commercial stardom, he represents a new generation of flamenco artists. Vicente Amigo is considered both one of flamenco's best-selling and most innovative artists today.
