Juan Martin at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts

The guitarist/composer plays and introduces his compositions
within the forms of the great tradition of flamenco.

His unique sound has been honed through a lifetime of
concerts and recordings and performing with legends of the song and dance like
Rafael Romero and Eva la Yerbabuena. He has recorded 20 albums, published 17
books, appeared in a Spanish film at 17 and has since made three films with his
flamenco dance company.

Voted into the top three 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 for
learning the guitar are now translated into many languages with his original
book being referred to as ‘The Bible’ of flamenco guitar.
