Manolo Sanlúcar
Manolo Sanlúcar (born Manuel Muñoz Alcón, 24 November 1943 – 27 August 2022)[1] was a Spanish flamenco composer and guitarist. He was considered one of the most important Spanish composers of recent times, and together with Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, and Vicente Amigo, one of the main figures in the evolution of the flamenco guitar. Sanlúcar's teacher was his father, Isidro Sanlúcar, a baker and old-style guitarist, who frequently came home with people who were fond of cante and playing; from his childhood he was exceptionally skilled to follow in his steps. His brothers also decided on the same vocation, among them Isidro. Sanlúcar soon began to research, aware that the guitar had infinite possibilities that had hardly been explored. The most ambitious of his contributions to the art was his constant striving to integrate flamenco in symphonic music. Several works of the greatest interest which have placed his name among the great composers of our time include: Fantasía para guitarra y orquesta, Trebujena, Medea and Soleá, showing his attempts to merge his primary focus in music, and which toured the world as a ballet;[2] Tauromagia or Aljibe. Some of them were recorded.
Discussing it further, he later declared,
Sanlúcar also composed a sort of flamenco opera on an idea by Lebrijano, to be played on the stage, although it was produced: Ven y Sígueme. Two of his most critically acclaimed records are Tauromagia (1988), and Locura de Brisa y Trino. (2000) He performed in some films. Sanlúcar was awarded Spain's Premio Nacional de Música for interpretation in 2000.[3] Discography
