From the back cover: Carlos Montoya, the small quiet man from whom flows the bursting passion of flamenco, he and his music are mirror images, inseparable and complementary. The nephew of another famous flamenco guitarist, he was already beginning to receive recognition in his own right as a child of eight. His youth was spent playing and learning in the "cafe cantantes" in and around Madrid, adding, bit by bit, his own expressive genius to the collective body of flamenco folklore. During his career, he has been accompanist to several of the great flamenco dancers of our time, among them La Argentina, Vicente Escudero and Argentinita. With the outbreak of World War II, Montoya found himself in New York, which is now his home. He have become an American citizen, is married, and the father of two sons.
