 | | Moraito was born Manuel Moreno Junquera in 1956 in the Santiago district of Jerez de la Frontera, a town in the Andalusian region; his family was already renowned for its musical ability, and his uncle Manuel Morao was one of the finest flamenco guitarists the town had ever produced. |
 | | After winning a flamenco guitar competition, the teenaged Moraito (also known affectionately as Moraito Chico) was invited to join his first professional band; he continued playing with various groups and on his own, his career interrupted only by a stint in the military. |
 | | In 1992, Moraito released his first album, Morao y Oro, which was greeted with high praise in the flamenco community; it was eventually issued in the U.S. in 1995. |
