Who's Behind miguel bengoa flamenco?

My name is Miguel Bengoa. I have been playing guitar since childhood and it has been a passion of mine since very young. I lived in Spain from my late teens until about my thirty-fifth year, principally in Jerez, San Fernando and Málaga. During this time I studied Hispanic Studies at Sheffield and Málaga Universities.

Back in 1995 I won the "Petrie Watson" prize which allowed me to participate full time in the flamenco life in the Málaga of then. I dedicated myself to the researching and writing of a book. This book is reproduced here, under the post category of "book". I also studied under Gabriel Cabrera in Málaga and Dani Moreno in San Fernando.
