Висенте Амиго. Род. Гуадалканал (Севилья) 1967 Гитарист Живет в Кордове с 5 лет. "Моя мать говорит что когда я был мальчиком то бывало брал черенок от метлы и играл. Этого я не помню, также как и не помню игрушечной пластиковой гитары которую они мне купили. Я помню как услышал Пако Де Лусию, и это странно так как я был еще слишком мал. Это было подобно взрыву. Однажды я увидел своего соседа, играющего на гитаре на лужайке и тогда навсегда влюбился в гитару."
