From the back cover: Sabicas, today the recognized master of the Flamenco Guitar, was born in 1917 in Pamplona, Spain. At the age of five he began to play the guitar. Without any formal instruction, just by "doing what comes naturally", he soon attracted attention in his home town and, at the age of eight, he gave his first recital before the experts, the "aficionados" of Pamplona. His proficiency developed rapidly. At the age of eleven he was ready for his first great trial: he entered a nation-wide contest in Madrid and, a boy of eleven, walked off with one of the important prizes. Several years of recitals and performances throughout his native country followed until he formed his own Flamenco Company and embarked on his first tour to South America.
He triumphed in everyone of the capitals and his fame spread. Then he met with Carmen Amaya, then at the height of her artistic career, and the two joined together for a number of most successful years and triumphs in Mexico and the United States. A number of films in Mexico and Hollywood, recordings, TV appearances, and finally a command performance at the White House were the mark stones of their road. – Fred Reiter
