About Juan del Gastor:

JUAN DEL GASTOR was born into one of the most revered families in the history of Flamenco, del Gastor.  Juan’s uncle, the legendary guitarist, Diego del Gastor, was the creator of a highly personal style which fused with the traditional style of his town, Morón de la Frontera, to create a school of flamenco guitar playing which is now world renowned.  Juan grew up immersed in the traditional gypsy flamenco culture. Music, song and dance would ease the pain of hunger.​ Juan learned guitar from his uncle Diego and learn the art of accompanying singers such as Manolito de Maria, Juan Talega, Fernanda de Utrera and Joselero.  Juan has a fine voice developed over the years by singing in private ‘fiestas’. He has also performed as a singer with various touring flamenco companies and audiences in the USA, Japan, Argentina, France and Germany have enjoyed his ‘buen cante'. Juan loves to sing and dance in the gypsy style of his home town.  His spontaneity and contagious good humor have sparked many an impromptu fiesta which has lasted into the early hours. Juan believes the authentic art of flamenco is the integration of the singing, the dance and the guitar to create a harmonious whole.
