A brief outline of Sabicas:

Sabicas (Agustín Castellón Campos) was born on 16 March 1912 in Pamplona, Spain and died in 14 April 1990 in New York.
He began playing guitar at the age of four. His early style was influenced by Ramón Montoya. During the Spanish civil war he went into exile in South America with (dancer) Carmen Amaya (dancer). He lived in Mexico City, married Esperanza Gonzalez Erazo, had four children. Sabicas later settled in New York City in the United States. He did not return to his native Spain until 1967.

Sabicas was a standout of his day, not only with technique, but with major contributions, playing Flamenco previously unimaginable and giving new tools and possibilities for the solo instrument. He brought this art to concert halls and major theatres where all classes can enjoy.
