About Paco Serrano

  • Paco Serrano (Francisco Miguel Serrano Cantero) is a Flamenco guitarist from C贸rdoba. At the age of 12 he was studying at the Flamenco Academy of Merengue de C贸rdoba (the teacher also of Vicente Amigo and Jos茅 Antonio Rodr铆guez), his sister Luisa learning dance with Merengue's wife Concha Calero at the same location.
  • For recreation, he accompanied the dance of his sister, and the singers in the Pe帽a Flamenca de C贸rdoba. Following a TV appearance in 1980 with his teachers' troupe, he served his apprenticeship as accompanist to many major flamenco singers, such as Fosforito, La Ni帽a de La Puebla, Juanito Valderrama, Chano Lobato, El Chocolate, Jos茅 Merc茅, Lu铆s de C贸rdoba and Carmen Linares. The late '80s and early '90s saw him winning several national prizes, culminating in both the Premio Manolo de Huelva for accompaniment and the Premio Ram贸n Montoya for solo guitar at the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco. In 1996 he graduated with a Master's Degree in Music from Rotterdam Conservatory, giving him the formal qualifications necessary to take up the position of Professor at the Conservatorio Superior de M煤sica de C贸rdoba, which he still holds.
