Vicente Amigo is a guitarist of the new generation of Flamenco. He was born in Guadalcanal in 1967, a small town in the province of Sevilla, though he grew up in Córdoba. It was there where he had his first guitar lessons. "I believe that flamenco has always been something for adults, not just for children. To understand flamenco, you need maturity.  You can play the guitar as a child.  You understand the technique. But the essence of flamenco is something that requires maturity.
