Very few can play 'Entre dos aguas' by Paco de Lucía and make the audience crawl. Conveying that emotion is not easy. The best flamenco guitarist in the world never learned music theory, nor did he need it. He was self-taught and had an innate and masterful talent. A gift that very few possess.
Juan Emilio Garrido has that gift. At only 11 years old, he picks up a guitar and is capable of giving everyone present goose bumps. Attest. He was born in Ondara and he has never taken professional guitar lessons. His father started teaching him the first chords when he was 6 years old.
"I had never seen anything like it", that is the phrase repeated over and over again by Adam Broseta, manager and luthier of Guitarras Bros. And that someone like him, who has listened to so many international artists, refers to Juan Emilio like this It says a lot about the present, but especially about the future it has.
I could talk endlessly about the virtues of the young man from Ondara but the best thing in these cases is to see and, above all, listen to the masterful talent of Juan Emilio when he was only 11 years old.
Very good xaval, keep practicing and enjoying a lot, you'll see that success lies there, greetings and I hope someday I have the chance to listen to you live
Bravo, Juan Emilio. I have seen Paco de Lucía twice in concert: once with his band at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona and once in a trio with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin also in Barcelona. I play electric and classical guitar and I can tell you that you are very talented. Congratulations and keep it up.
