Andalucian symphony - Manolo Sanlúcar

Manolo Sanlúcar transformed the flamenco guitar into an Andalucian symphony but always retained its roots. He came from a family of bakers but ended up being admired internationally. His fans include big names such as the Spanish Prime Minister Felipe González, the film star Omar Shariff and opera singer Montserrat Caballé. Marcos has more on his life, plus a memory of Manolo playing live in the Genovese gardens in Cádiz and what he consider to be his master work – Tauromagia.Follow us on Twitter ⁠@flamencopodYou can hear our musical choices spread across the podcast on Spotify.
