Experienced Mexican Musician, Composer & Producer, has been involved with all kinds of Movies, T.V. shows, Animation & Jingles. I´m interested in developing a modern concept of Prehispanic Music using original real instruments as well as the piano & electronica.

A celebrated virtuoso of the flamenco guitar who has been voted into the top three guitarists in the world by US magazine ‘Guitar Player’, Juan Martín learned his art in the land of his origin, Andalucia.  Aged 17, he played in the Spanish film ‘Donde tu estes’ filmed in Marbella.  He has recorded 18 albums including Musica Alhambra, The Andalucian Suites and Serenade mostly as a composer as well as 2 DVDs with his dance company, one recorded in Istanbul and a new filming of his Dance Ensemble from the Barbican released in 2010.  

His original method book ‘El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra’, considered to be the ‘bible’ of flamenco guitar, is in its tenth print and widely translated. His other dvds/books are distributed by Faber Music and Mel Bay and are translated into Chinese, Farsi and Russian.  

He was honoured to be asked by Sir Roland Penrose and Lee Miller to play for Picasso’s 90th birthday celebrations and has performed in international festivals from Hong Kong to Montreux Jazz and the First World Guitar Congress in the USA. His tours have taken him around the world from Australia, America and Canada to China, the Middle and Far East.  The paper El Mundo in Spain said of him that ‘he has a terrifyingly good technique and absolute dominance of the guitar’.
