"what is great about Ignacio is not only that he has Duende but the precision and tone of his guitar playing makes him deliver his music with great resonance and feeling. His willingness to explore out of his comfort zone and reach out to other cultures and sonorities speaks to his character."
Phil Manzanera
“A flamenco guitar maestro…”
International Times, Italy
“Ignacio accrued a huge number of votes… testament to the respect he commands”
