  Vicente Amigo Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Vicente Amigo’s “The Future of Flamenco”; tour was received with standing ovations at the Herbst Theater.
Vicente has explained his use of non-linear style: “I love flamenco music as a foundation because it allows me to tell a story in a very different, non-linear fashion,” he says.
Vicente’s composure, skill and talent easily weather feedback from stage, critic, and creative pressures and also brings an audience of ecstatic fans to listen.

Vicente Amigo appears to be enveloped by a charismatic and ethereal air, his gaze seemingly lost in the distance.
Vicente Amigo is from Córdoba through and through.
This album, in which we can sense the loneliness of the creative process, captures Vicente’s search for spontaneity — he doesn’t want his listeners to guess the intricate musical processes behind his sound; instead, he renders his musical web invisible and invites us to immerse ourselves in pure feeling.

While he is accomplished on the fretboard, Amigo takes a decidedly low-key approach on tracks like "Tres Notas Para Decir te Quiero" (with its soothing falsetto singing) and the solo guitar piece "Bolero de Vicente." Through his style, Amigo is able to flesh out his songs with controlled doses of requisite guitar pyrotechnics.
Vicente Amigo, a man of few words, isn't one who's prone to talk the talk, he just walks the walk and boy what a great CD he has come up with - again!
I met Vicente many years ago (around 1989) when he was a relatively unknown guitarist on the scene, over ten years on, Vicente has lost none of his honesty, professonalism or sensitivity, and has matured to become a great artist and a truly oustanding ambassador for Cordoba and humanity.

 Vicente Amigo "Ciudad de Las Ideas" by Srajan Ebaen
Vicente Amigo has been called the natural successor of Paco De Lucia.
A technically flawless master of the Spanish flamenco idiom, Vicente Amigo has also been shaped by the Jazz of John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola and Pat Metheny.
On “Córdoba” for example, Amigo remains unaccompanied and segues into a very dreamy, semi-improvisational exploit that enchants with the many tonal hues he culls from his guitar, from bright silver to a rich red gold to a more muted but even deeper copper.
