ANTONIO GARCIA Flamenco/Classical Guitar

Make your event one to remember with the romance of the Spanish guitar. The beauty of the melodic CLASSICAL notes combined with the passionate rhythm of the FLAMENCO guitar technique. My repertoire includes Paco de Lucia to Francisco Tarrega to Bach. Some of my arrangements are for popular music in the flamenco style of artists such as The Beatles, Eagles, Metallica and Led Zeppelin.

Antonio Garcia is a Spanish guitar performer/instructor from Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico. Antonio began his musical journey at the age of 8 when he took 4 years of private piano instruction. At the age of 12 he discovered that his true passion was the Spanish guitar and began his journey as a self-taught musician with his father's guitar.

The young artist started his formal education guitar education under flamenco guitarist Juan Rosas at "Instituto Mexicano de Flamencologia" (Mexican Institute of Flamencology) and "Centro Cultural de Arte Flamenco de San Miguel de Allende" (Flamenco Cultural Center SMA) where he obtained a certificate degree in flamenco guitar technique.
