About Antonio: Antonio Rey is considered by many flamenco aficionados to be the heir apparent to Paco de Lucia’s throne. His career began at the age of ten. He was soon performing on international stages and winning prestigious awards for his incredible virtuosity, such as the Premio Nacional de Guitarra (also won by Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo), National Competition of the Art of Flamenco of Córdoba, Niño Ricardo National Competition of Flamenco Guitar, International Flamenco Guitar Competition of Jerez and others. He has performed with many of the most important flamenco artists, such as Paco de Lucia, Diego El Cigala, Antonio Canales, Diego del Morao, Richard Bona, Estrella Morente, Joaquín Cortés, Miguel Poveda, among others. Rey has performed in prestigious concert halls around the world including Japan, Russia and across Latin America and Europe and Iran. Both of Antonio’s last two CDs, Flamenco sin Fronteras and Historia de un Flamenco were awarded the 2020 and 2024 Latin Grammy for Best Flamenco Album, and the latter was also nominated for a 2024 Grammy for Best Global Recording.
