Casa Luthier Barcelona

This is Joan Rigual in Casa Luthier,  one of the most beautiful classical and flamenco guitar shops.

Alicia Alcay and Joan Rigual started Casa Luthier in 1979. A tiny shop with student and concert guitars made by the best Spanish builders. I was very honored when, begin nineties, they started selling my guitars as well.  In 1997 they moved the shop towards its current location, a large building in the same street. They celebrated the opening with a big party for all the builders they work with. Ten years later they celebrated their jubileum the same way.

Alicia and her husband, the Icelandic guitarist Arnaldur Arnarson are still the owners of the shop. In the mean time Alicia started a music school as well as a  dance school. Joan Rigual still manages the shop, together with his employees. Besides guitars you can also find a great collection of sheet music. Sometimes they organize concerts.

Cécile Cardinot

I got this pleasant surprise from Cécile Cardinot, member of the Duo Bensa-Cardinot. She sent it to me, together with Récital, a beautiful CD of the duo. Cécile is multi-talented. She plays the guitar, she sings and she draws.

Marc Sambola

This is Marc Sambola, a Catalan guitarist. I met him a couple of years ago at Casa Luthier in Barcelona where he used to work. Nowadays he is a full time musician. He works as a  composer, arranger, teacher and guitarist. He writes music for theatre plays, like for instance El Projecte dels Bojos or arrangements like Le Llaman Copla. He can be listened to in Ruta D’Hivern,  small concerts in private houses, every Friday in Barcelona, together with singer Mariona Castillo.
