Rafael Riqueni, from the Triana neighbourhood of Seville, has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masters of flamenco guitar. At the age of 12, he gave his first performances as a soloist, and, at 14, he won the two main national guitar awards: the Ramón Montoya Prize in the VIII Córdoba Competition and first prize in the VI National Competition of Jerez.

Renowned for his distinctive style, he has appeared at Spain’s major flamenco festivals and toured internationally. His brilliant recordings, which are critically acclaimed in flamenco, include the recent Latin Grammy-nominated Herencia.
