Although he is Sevillian by birth, he was raised and lives in Córdoba, where he attended his first guitar lessons with El Tomate and Merengue de Córdoba, and later, he improved his guitar playing with Manolo Sanlúcar, with whom he worked for ten years. After a period of accompaniment which began alongside El Pele, he started to devote himself almost exclusively to playing concerts in 1988. De Mi Corazón al Aire ("From Out of My Heart", 1991) as his first record. An admirer of Paco de Lucía since childhood, Amigo took part with him in the show "Leyendas de la guitarra" (Legends of the Guitar) that was held in Sevilla as a foretaste of the Expo 92 exhibition, which also featured Paco de Lucía, Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt, Phil Manzanera, Joe Cocker, Jack Bruce and Richard Thompson. By that time, he had already been awarded some of the most prestigious flamenco guitar prizes.

Vicente Amigo is open to experimenting, pursuing Flamenco to unprecedented limits, and gaining in-depth knowledge about other forms of music, and sharing experiences with other artists. He has taken part in recordings by Khaled, Miguel Bosé, Carmen Linares, Manolo Sanlúcar, Wagner Tiso, Rosario, Nacho Cano, Alejandro Sanz, Sting, etc., and has shared the stage with the greatest of contemporary artists: Paco de Lucía, Stanley Jordan, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Milton Nascimento.

Tonino Baliardo is the lead guitarist for Gipsy Kings, the pop flamenco Roma group from France that has sold more than 18 million albums worldwide.

Most Gipsy Kings albums have 3-5 instrumental cuts - all written entirely by Baliardo; he also co-writes their vocal numbers. After his 2001 solo debut, Essences, Baliardo released an instrumental album under his own name in 2003, all his own originals.

"Tonino is the most creative person in the band," said Chico Bouchiki, a former member who co-wrote their biggest hit to date, Bamboleo. "He has lots of ideas and a great imagination. He used to go to school with his guitar."

Baliardo - like his bandmates - does not read or write music, he said in a 2007 behind - the - scenes video about their album Pasajero. They developed their styles from a lifetime of playing, and years learning from the generations that came before and contributed so much to flamenco music.

Manuel Moreno Junquera, Moraíto Chico (Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain, September 13,1956 - Jerez de la Frontera, August 10, 2011) was a Flamenco guitarist.

He was known as one of the greatest and most in-demand accompanying guitarists of his generation, and was the regular accompanist for José Mercé, Diego Carrasco and other popular flamenco singers. He also played regularly for such stars as La Paquera de Jerez, Camaron de la Isla and Manuel Agujetas. Moraito was particularly renowned for his powerful, full and round sound, driving rhythm and exceptional rasgueos. He was one of the finest exponents of the buleria and can be seen and heard paying in this style on Carlos Saura's influential 'Flamenco' and "Flamenco, Flamenco' films.

He was the nephew of the original Moraíto (Manuel Moreno, a.k.a. Manuel Morao), and son of the original Moraíto Chico (Juan Moreno). His son, Diego Del Morao, is one of the best known of the current generation of Flamenco guitarists.

He died on 10 August 2011, after a long struggle with cancer.
