At the same time as a renowned educator, composer and producer enjoys the respect of even the toughest professionals.

"The singer, with whom he performs, is the largest discovery last year of Salam, whose real name Jose Antonio Martin Yanez, graduated beginnings in groups world-renowned guitarist Chicuela - and won the prestigious Flamenco Yunque in the competition of 33 other candidates.
