Bio
Rooted in the traditions of flamenco guitar, maintains that, ...."As a student of flamenco guitar, there are so many aspects of this complex form of music that I have yet to master or even begin exploring. Flamenco is not just music, but culturally, it is a way of life.".... .... Despite having studied guitar briefly in Jerez de la Frontera, a small town and flamenco hotbed in Andalusia, Spain, Benjamin explains that, ...."one of the main problems facing a flamenco guitar student living outside of Spain is not being constantly surrounded by flamenco culture on a daily basis and thus not always having the opportunity to accompany experienced flamenco singers and dancers which is a vital part of the whole learning experience. The other problem is having to live in a fast paced society that requires you to constantly figure out ways not to lose your shirt living as an artist. Either way, it becomes increasingly difficult to find time to practise. Flamenco guitar technique takes years to develop and sometimes, there are just not enough hours in the day to tackle it all. But my passion for this particular art form outweighs the frustrations behind any of these obstacles. I persist on learning more."
