Antonio Serrano, harmonica

Latin Grammy winner and Madrid-born Antonio Serrano started learning the harmonica from his dad at age 7. Already performing with Larry Adler at age 13, Antonio developed a unique playing technique that helped him easily transition from classical to blues, jazz, and pop music. Performing with Paco de Lucia established him as one of the most renowned Spanish musicians.

Antonio Sánchez, flamenco guitar

Antonio Sánchez is a fantastic guitarist who is a member of a family of a great tradition in the world of Flamenco: he is the nephew of guitarists Paco de Lucia and Ramón de Algeciras and the singer Pepe de Lucía. He began playing the guitar at a very young age under the guidance of his uncles and later continued his training with the teacher Juan Manuel Cañizares. For years, Antonio performed at the best jazz and flamenco festivals in the world as part of Paco de Lucía’s septet. Nowadays, we can see him playing as the leader of his group or with great artists such as Antonio Serrano, Duquende, Piraña, or David de Jacoba.
