Juan Carmona

Juan Carmona was born in France of Spanish Gypsy background. The gift of a guitar for his 10th birthday set him on the path of discovery of his roots which has led to the CD's Caminos Nuevos and Orillas which we feature today.

He blends the expected sounds of traditional and contemporary flamenco ... guitars, singers, hand clapping and percussion ... with the more unexpected textures of a Morrocan orchestra, complete with strings, brass and woodwinds. The result is a fine exploration of the Moorish roots of flamenco.
