A Journey to the Heart of Flamenco
For this artist, flamenco is not simply a genre — it is a way of life. Three formative years living in the historic city of Jerez de la Frontera allowed for a deep immersion into the soul of this powerful art form. The cobbled streets of Jerez whispered their secrets, and those lessons were absorbed firsthand.
The Legacy of Legends
During his stay in Jerez, he had the incredible privilege of studying under the tutelage of some of the most esteemed flamenco families. Mentored by lineages such as Los Jeros and the Morao family, he became part of an artistic circle where flamenco is passed down orally, generation to generation — the most authentic way to learn.
David learning from Niño Jero at the family's home.
Manuelito Jero and his father Niño Jero, affectionately known as "Periquin", opened the doors to their world, imparting their profound knowledge and entrusting David with the essence of flamenco.
David would enjoy discussing flamenco over a real Gitano lunch with the family.
A Friendship Forged in Music
Among the figures who shaped this journey are Manuelito Jero, a true flamenco virtuoso, and his father Niño Jero, renowned for his unique guitar approach. A close friendship with Pepe del Morao further enriched this musical path, leaving a lasting influence that is still heard in every performance today.
Manuel Jero. Undoubtedly the biggest influence on the way David plays the guitar. Daily lessons, recordings, and deep study under these masters refined both technique and understanding — an education rooted in lived experience rather than theory.
Mentors and Influences

In addition to these formative relationships, one-on-one lessons were undertaken with some of flamenco’s most respected artists, including: Jose Galvaz, Martin Chico, Diego Morao, Juan Diego Mateos, Miguel Salado, Manuel Valencia, Jose Ignacio Franco, Eziquiel Benitez, Eduardo Rebollar, Ane Carrasco, and Diego Carrasco. Each of these maestros played a vital role in shaping David's unique style and musical identity — from soniquete and compás to humility, tradition, and truth.
Jose Galvez. Having lessons at Jose's apartment. Jose taught David the humility one must have, and that there are 2 types of flamenco, the real, and the commercial.
Juan Diego Mateos treated David as part of his family, welcoming him with an open heart and introducing him to other artists such as Diego Carrasco.
Manuel Valencia
Martin Chico. David searched out Martin and would have lessons on the streets of Seville late at night. Martin is revered amongst flamencos coming from the Revuelo family in Seville.
Miguel Salado
Pepe Morao was teaching David nearly everyday when he was in Jerez in 2012. Undoubtedly you can hear this influence whenever David plays.
Eduardo Rebollar lessons full of soniquete.
