Born 1967, Guadalcanal, Sevilla, Spain; raised in Cordoba.

After taking guitar lessons from Merenque De Cordoba, Vicente, still in his teens, starts out as a professional musician.

His first major gig is with the legendary Spanish bandleader Manolo Sanlucar; further engagements in José Merce’s, Luis De Cordoba’s, Carmen Linares’s backing bands as well as studio sessions for Wagner Tiso, Miguel Bose, Nancho Cano and Tino di Geraldo follow in rapid succession.

Come the late 1980s, Vicente Amigo owns a number of the most prestigious flamneco guitar prizes, those of La Unión (‘88), Extremadura (‘88), and Cordoba’s XII National Concert of Flamenco Art (‘89)

Performing as David Bowie’s support act in 1990 secures Amigo the attention of a still larger audience.

Vicente’s first solo album, De Mi Corazon al Aire, appears in 1992 on Sony Music.

Amigo’s Flamenco Concert for a Sailor on Land, premiered by the Cuban Symphony Orchestra under Leo Brouwer’s conductorship in 1992 in Cordoba, receives Spanish Radio’s «Oja Critico» award.

In 1993, Guitar Player magazine votes Amigo the best flamenco-guitarist.

In 1995 he performs live in Lisbon with John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia; the latter guests on Amigo’s album Viviciendas Imaginadas.
