| Johan Frauenfelder (flamenco) |
| From a young age Johan has been playing guitar. During his youth he developed a special fondness for blues and the popular music of the 1960's. After studying Latin music in his native Holland, Johan moved to Seville in Spain where he was taught further by flamenco legend Carlos Heredia.
Although Flamenco provides the dense basis for all his compositions, his influences such as blues and jazz come though in his music and contribute towards a very unique and surprising style of play. There is a fusion between flamenco and elements of other styles which can only work if the artist is able to master all of the styles being used.

| Miguel Corcho (flamenco) |
| Singer Miquel Corcho was born in 1949 in Coria - Spain. Miguel started singing from a tender age accompanying his older brother in local performances, when it was realised that he had an exceptionally good voice and carried the right feeling to be notable flamenco singer. He has over the years included his original work and the works of such greats as Antonio Molina and Juanito Valderrama into his repertoire.
Miguel remains singing... and his special style stirs up listeners both in his native Spain and away, he is thus enjoyed by a broad public audience. His voice is unique and embraces the mood the music creates, this is much appreciated by flamenco fans. |
