José Luis Montón is one of the great Spanish guitarists of our time. Completely rooted in Flamenco, his great sensitivity and musicality lead him to venture into very particular territories, from the interpretation of classical themes to the flamenco style, as happened recently with the edition of his album Flamenco & Clássica. His guitar technique has all the mastery of a great performer, with a rare lightness and subtlety, without ever losing the great energy of Flamenco.

As a guitarist and composer, he is also dedicated to teaching the flamenco guitar and promoting the style and has received several prestigious awards such as the Barcelona and Nimes Competitions, the “Copa Teatro Pavón” from the Círculo de Bellas Artes, the award for best music at the “Choreographic Certamen” by Teatro Albéniz or the “Premio de la Música”, together with violinist Ara Malikian.
With his guitar he toured the great stages of the world and artists of the stature of Carmen Linares, Mayte Martin, Ara Malikian, Rosalía, Miguel Poveda, Pitingo, María Toledo, Antonio Canales, Javier Ruibal or Clara Montes, among others, participate in his projects.
