Yes, a distant relative of the Habichuela dynasty. Born in Lyon, France. First prize in the Jerez de la Frontera Competition in 1988, finalist in La Union and Cordoba competitions, obtained a diploma from the Jerez Flamenco Foundation in 1989, awarded by Manolo Sanlucar. First prize in the Madrid Paco de Lucia competition in 1994. Going to have a concert with the symphony orchestra in Lyon on 2nd July. Quite an achievement, surprising he didn't mention his first LP on his site. His LP is excellent, and I always prefer the former (more traditional) to Caminos nuevos (2000). I was surprised not to have heard of him until only recently.
