"The rebirth of the chords"

FRANCISCO PRIETO, a payo guitarist, is better known in this world of guitar art under the artistic name of EL CURRITO. with several important prizes, such as Campos de guitarra in Córdoba, Bordón de Oro in Málaga, International Guitar of Puente Genil. He recently released his album for sale where you can see his great personality in playing and the great variety of rhythmic sounds.

The critic Francisco del Cid has written: "We must include him in the extensive list of flamenco guitarists from Córdoba and the provinces who have turned our city into one of the neuralgic points of this specialty. His playing must be situated in the renewing tone that today it is demanded that, without turning its back on the traditional, it combines harmoniously with a brilliant execution, a very complete technique and a creativity that gives it a differentiating bias.

His father, the famous guitarist Antonio Prieto “El Curi”, is his most important mentor. I believe that a gap can be opened in today's flamenco guitar, despite the enormous competitiveness that exists in the specialty that defines it, which is concert guitar". He won first prize in the Campos de guitarra Contest, organized by the Ateneo de Córdoba sponsored by Bodegas Campos, which was held at the Gran Teatro de Córdoba between 2000 and 2007.
