Juan Diego Mateos
2004 Flamenco critics award for Best Guitar Album
Learning toque jerezano from native maestros such as El
Carbonero and José Luis Balao, Juan Diego delved into the study
of flamenco guitar at the age of ten. He has worked with the
Joaquín Cortés Company, coinciding with the premiere of
‘Cibayí’ and composed dance scores for Antonio el Pipa Herencia
Gitana and for Antonio Vargas La casa de Bernarda Alba.
Moreover, he has accompanied bailaores such as Joaquín Grilo,
Juana Amaya, Merche Esmeralda and Antonio Canales, among
others. As a studio guitarist, Juan Diego has recorded with
Remedios Amaya, Jorge Pardo, Sorderita, Pepe de Lucía...,
accompanying many of them live. Heterodox artists such as
Tomasito and María Jiménez call on his toque from time to time.
Juan Diego launches his first solo album, 'Luminaria', in 2003,
with the collaboration of musicians such as Jorge Pardo, Carles
Benavent, Remedios Amaya and Diego Carrasco. The record
receives the flamenco critics' award in 2004 Best Guitarist. The
international high-quality audio company Bose has chosen the
Jerez-born guitarist and his music as the stars of the demo DVD
to be used to promote their new home cinema equipment
beginning in summer 2005.
