A contemporary of Albéniz, the highly literate blind guitarist Manjón (1866-1919) apparently started his guitar studies with a pupli of Aguado. He enjoyed a high reputation. A young Miguel Llobet was so impressed after hearing him that he decided to dedicate himself to the guitar and Austín Barrios asked him for lessons. We are proud to present this volume of Manjón's music which combines both Flamenco and Latin-American elements to give an innovative and unique blend of guitar music. Revised edition 2023.
