by his father, who provided him with better instruments as his skill developed. At the age of twelve, he discovered flamenco
music, which captured his interest completely. Without the benefit of formal instruction, Miguel obtained his knowledge and

fifteen and led to recognition by such artists as Ramon de Algeciras and Manolo Medina.
Today Miguel ranks as one of the most accomplished flamenco guitarists in the USA. He has earned a reputation as an outstanding
soloist and accompanist overseas as well, touring with Jose Greco (Sr.), Jose Molina, and Maria Benitez. He has played throughout
the USA, Europe, Japan, and Mexico.
