Manolo Sanlucar
Manolo Sanlúcar (born Manuel Muñoz Alcón; 24 November 1943 – 27 August 2022) was a Spanish flamenco composer, guitarist and teacher. He was one of the major figures in the development of the modern flamenco guitar, and a substantial part of his career was devoted to treating flamenco as a compositional language for concert, orchestral and theatrical forms.
Alongside Paco de Lucía, Niño Ricardo and Sabicas, Sanlúcar is commonly cited as one of the flamenco composers who broadened the harmonic, formal and concert possibilities of flamenco in the second half of the twentieth century. His best-known works include Fantasía para guitarra y orquesta, Trebujena, Medea, Tauromagia, Soleá, Aljibe and Locura de brisa y trino.
