And with the same spirit: discover talent, make it visible and push it. The flamenco guitar, which requires so many hours of effort and solitude and how difficult it is to make its way to the public, needs initiatives that facilitate that path for those who are starting.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Header&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1%|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;1%|0px|1%|0px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;40px|40px|40px|40px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;02b46b76-c036-4b35-ac39-0d96fe080a5c&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Domine||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;32em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Domine|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||2%|0px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|0px|2%|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The place: Molino del Manto<\/h2>\n<p>Molino del Manto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molinodelmanto.com\/\">(molinodelmanto.com)<\/a> is an estate for events in the Madrid town of Chinch\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>El Molino has been a showcase for many years of the 1906 Days of the Spanish Guitar, a unique musical event through which some of the best musicians on the national and international scene have passed.

He first took a guitar in his hands in 1936, a guitar borrowed from his neighborhood barber. The following year, his father bought him that same guitar and they found him his first teacher, who turned out to be Javier Molina. After some informal performances at parties, sales and tabancos, at the young age of 12, he got on a professional stage for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>In 1945, during his stay in Seville, <a href=\"https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/en\/blog\/antonio-mairena-biography-part-i\/\">had the privilege of meeting Don Antonio Mairena,<\/a> who opened the doors to the great figures of flamenco, such as La Ni\u00f1a de los Peines and Tom\u00e1s Pav\u00f3n. Shortly after, Manolo Caracol incorporated it into his show &#8220;Zambra&#8221;, which at that time was the most important and recognized production of popular music.<\/p>\n<p>Manuel Morao&#8217;s path continued to advance, with incursions into recordings and the world of cinema. In 1951, he participated in the film &#8220;La Ni\u00f1a de la Venta&#8221; with Lola Flores and Manolo Caracol, which marked another milestone in his artistic career.<\/p>\n<h3>The Golden Age<\/h3>\n<p>The international tours come <a href=\"https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/en\/blog\/villa-el-martinete\/\">to integrate into the company <span>of<\/span> <strong>Antonio the Dancer.<\/strong><\/a> They visited Europe and the Middle East in 1953, and Latin America the following year. United States in 1955.<\/p>\n<p>In between, he recorded albums with the greatest and most popular singers of the moment (and of history): Antonio Mairena, la Paquera de Jerez or Fernando Terremoto. He participates in the recordings of the &#8220;Antolog\u00eda del Cante Flamenco y del Cante Gitano&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>In 1964 he returned to Jerez after a world tour that toured the planet (from New York to Tokyo) with Antonio&#8217;s ballet with which he returned in 1970 with a public company: the National Ballet. With this he participates in the successful &#8220;Festivals of Spain&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial portrait_url=&#8221;https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/manuel-morao-premio-estrella-galicia.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||2%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||2%||false|false&#8221; border_radii_portrait=&#8221;on|0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Manuel&#8217;s speech has not changed over the years: &#8220;You have to be authentic.&#8221; And that is achieved by knowing the roots, without losing sight of them.
