About the artists
Antonio Rey
Born in Madrid in 1981 and raised between Mexico City and Jerez de la Frontera, Antonio Rey was ten when he began accompanying his father, the guitarist Tony Rey, in the tablaos of Mexico. At eighteen he joined the company of the great dancer Antonio Canales, and in 2010 he won the National Guitar Prize at the Córdoba National Flamenco Competition. He has played as a guest with Paco de Lucía's group and alongside Vicente Amigo, Estrella Morente, Diego El Cigala, Niña Pastori and Al Di Meola. His albums Flamenco sin fronteras (2020) and Historias de un Flamenco (2024) each won the Latin Grammy for Best Flamenco Album, and the second was also nominated for the Grammy for Best Global Music Album. In 2024 he played the Paco de Lucía Legacy Festival at Carnegie Hall, and in 2026 the closing night of Flamenco Festival New York's 25th anniversary.
Álvaro Martinete
Álvaro Martinete is a highly acclaimed Spanish flamenco guitarist from Granada, widely recognized as one of the leading virtuosos of his generation. He is celebrated for a style that deeply respects traditional, pure flamenco foundations while incorporating contemporary and innovative arrangements. He won 1st Prize at the 2024 SGAE Paco de Lucía Flamenco Award.
Presented by the Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that has brought the world’s finest guitarists to San Francisco for more than forty years.
