Spanish Guitar Chicago

ENGLISH
Diego Alonso (Diego-Alonso Audette-Aste) began playing rock guitar at age 17 and flamenco guitar at age 21.  Predominantly self-taught, Diego also studied flamenco guitar intensively with Fernando Moreno, José Luis Balao, Manuel Lozano "El Carobonero" (Jerez de la Frontera), and with José "Pansequito Hijo" Cortés (Puerto de Santa María).  He has also studied jazz theory with David Bloom and Marty Metzger (Chicago, IL) and continues to further his music education when possible.

In 2000, Diego began performing regularly with Chicago-based flamenco and World-music group, "Las Guitarras de España,' and has since shared the stage with a variety of accomplished musicians and companies including Alfonso Cid, Vicente Griego, Darwin Noguera, Victor Garcia, and many others.

In 2007 Diego performed with the Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater in Warsaw, Poland along side singer/guitarist José "Pansequito Hijo" Cortés and in 2008 was invited to score, arrange, and perform one of his compositions for Fulcrum Point New Music Orchestra's "Passport to World Music" concert at Chicago's Harris Theater.  Currently, Diego is the guitarist for flamenco group, "idilio," which released it's first CD in 2009.  View complete C.V.
