Raúl Zambrano

He collaborated in the creation of a new repertoire for guitar with musicians such as Juan Trigos, Hebert Vázquez, Horacio Uribe, Georgina Derbez, Emil Awad, Aurelio Tello and Julio César Oliva, who dedicated work to both him and his quartet.

He was the director (1997-2005) of the International Guitar Festival at the Gothic Chapel of The Hellenic Cultural Centre in Mexico City.

In 2010 he studied, with Dirk Snellings and Capilla Flamenca, a program which establishes the relationship between French-Flemish polyphony and that of Hispanic America's chapels.

His secret is not to exaggerate, giving each note its precise musical value without falling into the trap of imitation or becoming another version of this successful Mexican concerto, he is a guitarist par excellence.

It is, however, one of those books which, although being surprisingly erudite, can be read with interest by those considering a western man's tough conflict for an expression which finds its purest space in music.
