Carlos Heredia
The Spanish-born guitarist Carlos Heredia was completely immersed in the culture
of classical Spanish guitar playing from a young age. He was a successful
performing artist, built fine guitars and taught flamenco techniques to a host
of eager students, many of whom travelled across the globe on a pilgrimage to
study with one of the latter day masters of gypsy flamenco. Heredia was
considered to be one of the finest exponents of contemporary flamenco.
He was born in Thres Mil Vivendas, a poor ghetto area in Sevilla, Spain and was
known as 'the guitarist of the 3 Mil Viviendas'....
