Pepe Romero - 1924 Miguel Rodriguez

Last month, we had an inspiring evening recording with both Pepe Romero and Grisha Goryachev on a fascinating 1924 Miguel Rodriguez. Up to this point, the earliest Rodriguez to come through the shop was a flamenco from 1950, so the fact that this instrument was made over 25 years earlier gives you an indication of its rarity. On top of that, Pepe – the previous owner – says he acquired it from a relative of Paco de Lucia who claimed the flamenco legend played on it regularly! 

In addition to this great guitar, having both of these outstanding musicians in one room brought a rare energy to the evening which we were fortunate to be a part of. Enjoy this first video of Pepe playing the introduction to Sevillana by Joaquin Turina!
