Biography
Antonio Serrano is considered one of the greatest harmonica players of all time.
His greatest contribution to Spanish music has been to introduce the harmonica in flamenco, consolidating this innovation by being part of Paco de Lucia's group between 2004 and 2014.
His great musical versatility has led him to carry out projects and collaborations in other musical fields such as jazz, classical music, tango and pop.
He began to be in great demand by national artists. He does not receive international recognition until 2004 when he becomes part of Paco de Lucia's group. In the meantime, he has been working on his personal projects as a quartet, duo or soloist. In November 2020 he premiered his adaptation for harmonica and orchestra of Manuel de Falla's El Sombrero de Tres Picos and in February 2021 he premiered another project called Bach & “Bach” with Daniel Oyarzabal and Pablo Martín Caminero dedicated to the great German composer Bach where the critic L. Gago consecrates him as one of the greatest geniuses of Spanish music.
