One of the most beautiful spanish guitar song ever

Flamenco Guitarist Antonio Muñoz Fernández playing "Diamant Negro" LIVE at Parador de Jávea, Spain.

Open air concert recorded on June 16, 2014.

BIO : Antonio Muñoz Fernández, La Unión (Spain), 1975, is the grandson of the guitarist Antonio Fernández and son of the flamenco singer Encarnación Fernández. He began his training as a guitarist at the age of three led by his grandfather. He rounded off his education with such teachers as Manuel Cano and, very soon, he developed a personal style grounded on a polished technique and on an intense and lively creativity. This took him to win the "Bordón Minero" prize in 1989, the highest award at the Mines' Singing International Festival. He is currently the official guitarist at this Festival and he alternates his work as a teacher at the Mines' Singing Foundation Flamenco Art School with performances at concert halls, auditoria as well as national and international theatres, both playing musical accompaniment to singing spectacles and giving concerts as a soloist with his musical group.

Apart from his mother, he has accompanied flamenco singers like Rancapino, Enrique Morente, Carmen Linares, Manuel Cuevas, Terremoto hijo, Miguel de Tena, Juan Pinilla, Rocío Márquez, María Toledo, Macanita, etc. Moreover, he has worked for Nadia Márquez's dancing group for five years. His musical accompaniment to singing can be found in different recordings published by the Mines' Singing Festival. In addition, he has engaged in projects like Flamenco Minas Tour, a spectacle joining flamenco and Indian music. Furthermore, he is the author of the album "Azafrán" and is currently involved in the composition of the songs for his second solo album.

This is Antonio Muñoz, a flamenco guitarist from Murcia, Spain. This song is called Diamante Negro from his album entitled Azafrán. A joy to watch

To me flamenco is a meditation, it takes me to a state of trance

[Raina]

He sounds like he has been playing since he was three. Masterful, beautiful.

The amount of muscle memory and skill this dude has built is insanely phenomenal, i am learning guitar and am quite a novice, but this is just insane!

[David-R.]

No one can understand how difficult that was to play unless they were a guitarist!! I used to teach piano in an institute and I used to hang out with the guitar teachers, which many were my friends and still are. I used to watch them practice and talk about the technique challenges they face. What that guy was playing is at the top of the guitar difficulty scale, and I can acknowledge that even as a pianist!!

I am no slouch player...this guy is world class...guitar God mode big time...his right/left hand sync, chording, and phrasing are elite level. Look at his face...he is just goofing around...bored. His use of open strings in his chording sets him apart. He is well taught...he doesn't even finish phrases...because he doesn't have to...the listener takes oneself there! Haven't been inspired in awhile...this cat really lights a fire under me to practice! Whoever is criticizing this dude simply doesn't know.

Spanish Flamenco players just blow me away. These chords are beautiful, very complex progression. Classical guitarists use all 4 fingers. Too bad the Spanish players are not better known. They are in a league of their own.

Mi madre tierra. Siempre estos guitarristas flamencos me sacan lagrimas cuando recuerdo las calles de esos pueblos silvestres en Galicia.

Spanish guitar... is the sexist, most emotional most pure essence of sound i have ever found. Its the pain and joy in life... to reach heaven.

I swear I could feel the warm, orange blossom scented Andalusian breeze on my face as this piece opened. Absolutely transported and left a tear in my eye. Bravo bellisimo.

[joycamposvillanueva]

981 thumbs down thinks they can do better than this terrific guitarist.
As for me, he deserves a "bravo" 👏👏👏💐

[Albertoflores]

He was my teacher. He's totally amazing and good person. He's playing a bellido guitar but trust me, he can play so beautiful any guitar you lend it.

[bertharuiz]

This young man was born together with guitar (3yrs). Enriched n surrounded with well known artist in Flamenco. He excels because he practiced continually. And yes, Spaniards are very handsome people.

[LadyNicky]

When you focus on the fingers, they look like they have a life of their own... Awesome! 👌

[futuresomething]

Those first notes in the beginning, just beautiful!

[TheLRider]

Absolutely beautiful I love the Spanish guitar especially in the hands of such an outstanding musician. 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

[tombarclay]

When watching a solo flamenco guitarist, I always feel the stage is incomplete without a flamenco dancer. The two together complete the experience. In my opinion, flamenco guitarists are the shredders of the classical guitar world.

[machgtx]

How do artists like this come up with such a Universe we live in!

[rogeralleyne]

He's amazingly clean and precise!!!🙏🙏🙏

[richardbarr]

Beautifully played. If this man is not already considered a master at his art, then surely he will be soon
