Rafael Riqueni del Canto (Sevilla, August 16, 1962), is a Spanish guitar player and composer. He is considered as one of the biggest names or “Maestros” in flamenco guitar history.[1][2][3] At age fourteen, he won the two main national awards for flamenco guitar in Spain.[4] As an adult, he has won the most prestigious flamenco music awards in Spain, including: Premio Andalucía de Cultura, Premio Nacional de la Crítica, Giraldillo a la Maestría de la XVIII Bienal de Flamenco [5][6] y el Premio AIE.[7] In 2017, he was awarded with XXXI Compás del Cante,[8] this award is always referred to by the Spanish media as the "Flamenco Nobel prize".[9][10][11][12]
