Vicente Amigo, born in Guadalcanal, Seville, Spain on March 25, 1967, is one of flamenco's most distinguished contemporary guitarists. With a career spanning several decades, he has earned a reputation for his profound emotion and technical mastery of the guitar. Trained initially by maestro Merengue de Córdoba and later by the legendary Manolo Sanlúcar, Amigo has developed a style that marries traditional flamenco with a range of other musical genres.

His discography is a testament to his evolution as an artist and his willingness to explore new avenues while staying true to the essence of flamenco. His 1991 debut album, "De Mi Corazón al Aire," was a critical success and laid the groundwork for a series of influential releases. Albums like "Ciudad de las Ideas (City of Ideas)" and “Tierra” exhibit his skill in composition and his collaborative spirit, the latter featuring a unique blend of flamenco and Celtic music elements. "Memoria de los Sentidos," one of his more recent works, is a return to traditional flamenco and has been lauded for its purity and emotional depth. It's a powerful reminder of Amigo's ongoing contributions to the art of flamenco, and why he is held in such high regard not just in Spain, but internationally. With several accolades, including a Latin Grammy award, Vicente Amigo continues to define the possibilities of flamenco guitar for the modern era.
