Pepe Habichuela

Born: October 22, 1944

Pepe Habichuela, born José Antonio Carmona Carmona in Granada, Spain, in 1944, is one of the most influential flamenco guitarists of his generation and a central figure in the celebrated Habichuela musical dynasty.

Raised in Granada's flamenco tradition, Habichuela began playing at an early age in the caves of Sacromonte before moving to Madrid in 1964. There he established himself as an accompanist to some of flamenco's leading singers, including Juanito Valderrama, Camarón de la Isla and Carmen Linares. His most significant early artistic partnership was with singer Enrique Morente, with whom he helped expand the harmonic and expressive vocabulary of contemporary flamenco. Their recordings included the landmark Homenaje a D. Antonio Chacón and Despegando.
