Manolo Sanlúcar (Manuel Muñoz Alcón) is considered one of the most important composers of present times, and together with Paco de Lucía and Serranito, main figures in the evolution of the flamenco guitar in recent years.
His first teacher was his father, Isidro Sanlúcar, a baker and old style guitarist, who frequently came home with people who were fond of cante and playing; from his childhood he was exceptionally skilled to follow in his steps. His brothers also decided on the same vocation and, among them, Isidro.
He soon began to research, aware that the guitar had infinite possibilities that had hardly been explored. The most ambitious of his contributions to the art is his constant striving to integrate flamenco in symphonic music. Several works of the greatest interest which have placed his name among the great composers of our time, encourage this concern by the creator: Fantasía para guitarra y orquesta, Trebujena, Medea and Soleá - that toured the world as a ballet -, Tauromagia or Aljibe. Some of them were recorded. The guitarist explained his guiding intentions: "I wish the experts in universal music to understand that they may approach flamenco, so they do not consider it something tribal and topical, so they see a branch of music in flamenco that allows very profound musical analysis and has extraordinary poetic and musical quality". Going into the same problem, he declared on another occasion: "Flamenco is a philosophy, the way of thinking and feeling of a whole people and its historical tradition. That is why I feel the need to tell more things about flamenco with other sounds and I take to the orchestra and try to get the orchestra to play siguiriyas, but take note, not for the orchestra to accompany siguiriyas and a singer, but for the orchestra to take on the feeling of the flamenco and, as if it were a sole instrument, to tell that spirit and magic sound of flamenco". Manolo Sanlúcar also composed a sort of flamenco opera on an idea by Lebrijano, to be played on the stage, although it has not yet been produced: Ven y sígueme. He has performed in some films.
Most important records are Tauromagia (1988), Locura de Brisa y Trino (2000)

Muy buena Farruca, muy original. Congratulaciones al maestro Sanlucar y desde luego al intérprete "atrafana".

Hello Orhan I found you whilst I was looking for Farruca by Manolo Sanlucar. Was mesmerised by your excellence. This was many months ago and since then I have watched and enjoyed all your videos. It is wonderful to see the works of great artistes presented with such reverence as you have accorded them. Can you take requests for solos that are our favorites? May you be blessed with good health, wealth, wisdom and recognition as a world class guitarist.
@aes134
Thank you Sir. Like us all, I too have some favourites listed below, and I hope that you will include these solos in your future repertoires. Please do not feel rushed.
