 <b>About Juan Carmona</b>\nHis name is Carmona, like his distant cousi
 ns of the Habichuelas dynasty of Granada, all guitarists. In 1963, one
  year after the exile, he was born in Lyons, France.\nJuan Carmona was
  barely 10 when his father gave him his first guitar. His virtuosity b
 ecame quickly apparent to professional musicians and it was only a mat
 ter of time before he began gathering international acclaim\n\nJuan Ca
 rmona soon felt the urge to return to the land of his ancestors, to go
  back to his roots and to imbibe again at the family spring – Jerez 
 de la Frontera in Andalusia – with a personal challenge: to revive r
 ecognition of the originality of his art in the town considered as the
  cradle of flamenco. And the wager was won. For more than eight years 
 he rubbed elbows with and accompanied the greatest names in flamenco, 
 all the while immersing himself in their talents: the singers Agujetas
 , Duquende, Terremoto Hijo, Capuyo de Jerez, Rubichi, Antonio y Manuel
  Malenas, Jesus Monje (Camaron de la Isla brother), Jose Mendez… ; t
 he dancers Joaquin Grilo, Maria del Mar Moreno, Ana Parilla, Angelita 
 y Joselito Vargas, Joselito Fernandez. Juan Carmona also recorded with
  Chano Dominguez, Rubem Dantas, Manolito Soler, Tino di Geraldo, …\n
 \nIn 1988, he awarded first prize in the Jerez de la Frontera Internat
 ional Competition, and was one of the finalists in the Union and Cordo
 ba Guitar Competition. In 1989, he obtained a diploma from the Jerez F
 lamenco Foundation, awarded by the guitarist Manolo Sanlucar. In 1990,
  he won the Villa Médicis Hors Les Murs award, the Don Antonio Chacon
  trophy awarded by his “peña flamenca”, and in 1992 the Lavoisier
  award. In 1994, he finally achieved the ultimate laureate : First pri
 ze in the Madrid de Paco de Lucia Competition.\n\nBesides his many con
 cert achievements, awards and relationships in the guitar world, this 
 French-born gipsy added an hard further distinction permanent triumph 
 in Spain, particularly in Andalusia where he created upheaval in the w
 orld of flamenco. His stay in Spain gave birth to his recording “Bor
 boreo” in tribute to the city of Jerez, under the artistic direction
  of Isidro Muñoz.\n\nSince his return to France in 1996, Juan Carmona
  knew an endless series of recordings and concert engagements. After h
 aving worked with a fabulous stream of musicians representing a wide r

 ional musical career : USA, Germany, Italy, England, Morocco, Russia,
