Arturo Martinez, one of the world's foremost flamenco artists plays at Alwan for the Arts, New York City, December 20th, 2008. He is accompanied here by the esteemed singer, dancer Barbara Martinez. Extremely modest, when he saw this he said, "I don't want a film showing me, I want all those faces of children, with candles lit.... it's for them."

It is good to see him. He is my uncle and used to babysit me. He would pay me $5/hr to touch me guitar. I stopped because it hurt my fingers. I think my father got him into playing guitar. My uncle played with the 'Free Street Theater' in Chicago.

Terrific! This is my closest childhood buddy from Chicago when we all started on British rock at the same time first picking up the guitar. This is his friend Disraeli Avillar from America...Please have him contact me on my Facebook by just keying in my name...It's been a long time and I so happy to see he is doing so well and still friends with Paco...
