Ramón Algeciras

Ramón de Algeciras, born Ramón Sánchez Gómez, was a highly influential Spanish flamenco guitarist. Often performing alongside his younger brother, the legendary Paco de Lucía, Ramón played a crucial role in shaping the modern flamenco sound. While less known internationally than Paco, Ramón was a deeply respected composer and guitarist within the flamenco world, known for his complex and sophisticated playing style. He provided a strong rhythmic and harmonic foundation that allowed Paco's virtuosity to truly shine. Together, they toured extensively and recorded numerous albums, showcasing the power and beauty of flamenco guitar.

Ramón's compositions often explored traditional flamenco forms while incorporating elements of classical and Latin American music, as evidenced in albums like "Hispanoamerica" and "Dos Guitarras Flamencas En America Latina." He dedicated his life to flamenco, collaborating with many prominent artists like Camarón de la Isla, and his contributions continue to inspire generations of guitarists.
