"David Moreno Navarro was born in Gijon (Asturias province) in 1924. His parents moved to Madrid in 1934. A few months later David performed in the Teatro La Latina. At the age of 12 he played in Los Gabrieles & Villa Rosa. With the troupes of Estrellita Castro & Carmen Amaya he toured the Americas. After that he toured France, England, Italy, Switzerland & Germany. In the early 1950's David toured with Concha Piquer to Argentina, Chile, Brazil & Mexico. He settled in Mexico and achieved great popularity. He died in 1976."
I heard Moreno several times in Mexico City in the late 1950s-early 1960s. I don't remember whether it was at Manolo Caracol's "Rincon de Goyar" or at the other major flamenco venue of the era, "Gitanerias". Moreno was an excellent guitarist.
