Flamenco Guitar's Legendary Superstars

Every style of music has it's superstars. And Flamenco Guitar music is no exception. Paco de Lucia certainly leads the pack. And, depending on your taste, the "other Paco", Paco Pena, Miguel de la Bastide, Lawson Rollins, and Jesse Cook, might also be considered- in the "Superstar" Category.

But none of the music of today's Superstars would be possible without the contributions of the Legendary Superstars. The innovators of previous generations. The Flamenco Guitar originals whose accomplishments laid the foundations on which today's Flamenco Superstars continue to create and evolve.

Three names are foremost in the pantheon of Legendary Flamenco Guitarists. Ramon Montoya. Sabicas. And Nino Ricardo. Their combined talents elevated Flamenco from a regional music relegated to accompanying dancers and singers, to an International art form. They took Flamenco out of bars and cafes, to the concert stage.
