Gildeavalle -> RE: Antonio de Torres-Creator of the Flamenco Guitar (Nov. 10 2014 10:33:09)

Absolutely, Antonio de Torres was from Almeria, the Kingdom of Granada, Andalucia and he was much influenced by Julian Arcas (also from Andalucia) to build guitars. Since in those times flamenco was not but Andalusian popular music, the division between Classical and Flamenco guitars was not a fact yet. The guitar eveluted according to the requirements of the virtuosos, and the popular guitar players, but Torres always lived and learned in Andalucia so his influences at building guitars were from here, where he took ideas from the Andalusian School of guitar builders, virtuosos guitarists and the Andalusian popular music. If Torres had been born in France his guitars would be absolutely different.
