Workshops
I have been concerned with making flamenco more popular since the founding of Mundo Flamenco, in 1993. I have always considered organizing workshops as a good way to do this. I arrange workshops with guitarists every year, whom I believe are able to impart their knowledge well. Among others, they have included:
Pepe Justicia, Rafael Cortés, Mariano Martin, Amir Haddad, David Serva, Gerardo Nuñez, Agustin de la Fuente and Manolo Franco.
I have been offering workshops in Spain for a few years to let interested people experience the special ambiance of that country. My stays in Spain in the 1970s were formative experiences for me, which let me better understand flamenco mentality and really fired my enthusiasm for flamenco.
