Aloysius Leeson's Guitar Pages
Welcome
(Updated 17/11/2008) Finally I've given the site a bit of a revamp - let me know what you think.Kristy and I have just launched two new web sites - www.chispaflamenca.com, about our flamenco performance group, and www.casadeflamenco.com.au, for our new studio in the South of Adelaide.
My album "Chispa Flamenca" is available at selected Adelaide music stores, as well as on the web via Chaos Music or digitally via itunes. Thanks to Adrian van Nunen for the design and Solveig Larsen for the sketch, and to Artsa who supported the project. There are samples from the album on the multimedia page.
About Me
I am an guitarist who works in a variety of styles, including flamenco, classical and latin jazz. A long running infatuation with flamenco led me to spend time in Spain following the traditional apprenticeship of accompanying singers and dancers, studying with maestros and playing at juergas (parties). Eventually I was able to work at the dance studios of Javier Cruz and Mari Angeles in Seville, and since coming back to Adelaide, Australia I have continued to work with local singers and dancers.
