Ramón Ruiz is a leading flamenco guitarist, composer, recording artist and creative director. His music beautifully expresses complex emotion, mastery and maturity with a unique yet instantly recognisable sound moving flamenco into a new exciting era.

With extraordinary dexterity and musicality in both traditional and contemporary stylistic genres, Ramón recently recorded his third album Calle Lunga in Abbey Road Studios London. It includes all original compositions and arrangements and was inspired by his journey of nearly 40 years mastering flamenco guitar internationally.
