Recognised as the best flamenco guitarist of all time and the one with worldwide prestige, he fused flamenco with other types of music and styles, such as jazz, bossa nova, pop, tango and classical music. He received the Príncipe de Asturias prize for Arts in 2004. The guitar is a plucked string instrument. It consists of a wooden sound box, a neck with a finger board and frets and the six strings, three made of gut and three of silk cased in metal.
