Ok, I've tried to decode it. It's in traditional Chinese and not simplified Chinese, which I was taught (the modern version of Chinese writing). Alright here it goes, with my broken Chinese: For misc. requests: info@flamenco.idv.hk It appears to be based solely in Hong Kong but I think he'll be able to give you guys some info on the flamenco scene in China. The site's mainly about flamenco, himself, some soundfiles, techniques, info on courses and ALOT about Paco Pena, whom I suppose taught him flamenco. Hope this helps, Cheston

As far as I know, Raymond Au was already a competent guitar player in the Seventies. He is totally dedicated to flamenco, although he's only a amateur. It would be difficult to make a living to be a professional flamenco guitarist in Hong Kong. The first time he came to contact with a professional guitarist was with Juan Martin when he participated in a master class, whom he found slightly arrogant. The only remaining choice was Paco Pena. Students at the time had only two sources to learn flamenco, either Juan Martin's El Arte de Flamenco or Paco Pena's Toques Flamenco. Only years later, Raymond Au went to learn with Paco Pena in his summer school in Cordoba, he was among the forty or so selected by Pena to be taught by him personally. He also had the chance to meet Sabicas not long before his death. His techniques are excellent, with the probable flaws that he doesn't command the Spanish language, and he has never really lived in Spain. He should be a good teacher for up to advanced level. Chinese in Hong Kong also have regular visits by Paco de Lucia, Paco Pena, Juan Martin and at the moment, the dancer Sara Baras.
