Sabicas, born Agustín Castellón Campos on March 16, 1912, in Pamplona, Spain, is an iconic figure in the world of flamenco guitar. Known for his astounding technical skill and profound musicality, Sabicas is credited with elevating flamenco guitar to a high level of artistry and international acclaim. He began playing guitar at a very young age and was performing publicly by the age of six. His nickname, Sabicas, meaning "small wild fig," was a testament to his early and prodigious talents.

Sabicas' influence in flamenco music cannot be overstated; he was instrumental in modernizing the genre while maintaining a deep respect for its traditions. After the Spanish Civil War, he moved to South America, ultimately emigrating to the United States in 1940, where he spent much of his career. New York City became his base, and it was there he collaborated with other flamenco artists and dancers, including the legendary Carmen Amaya. Throughout his career, Sabicas recorded numerous albums, showcasing his virtuosity and the emotive power of flamenco. His works such as "Guitarra Flamenca - La Leyenda de Sabicas y Carmen Amaya" and "Sabicas. El Duende de la Guitarra Flamenca" are considered masterpieces and have inspired generations of guitarists. Sabicas continued to perform and record until his death on April 14, 1990, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest flamenco guitarists of all time.
