Juan Martín is a celebrated virtuoso of the flamenco guitar who has been voted into the top guitarists in the world by US magazine ‘Guitar Player’. He resides in London but still has his home in Málaga, Andalucia where he learnt his art. He has recorded 18 albums and has tours the world giving solo concerts and with his group. His DVDs and definitive flamenco method have literally taught hundreds of thousands the complex art of flamenco. In 2007 he will tour the UK and Ireland, The USA and Canada, Australia, the Far East, Scandinavia and Spain. The Spanish paper El Mundo said of him ‘he has a terrifyingly good technique and an absolute dominance of the guitar, filling the concert hall with crystalline clarity.’
‘Over at the Barbican, guitarist Juan Martin reminded us of the power and beauty of flamenco pure and simple. No meretricious stage tricks, not a trace of hamming, just one long enthralling sequence of instrumental solos, songs and dances by his brilliant troupe.’ The Independent Nov ‘03
