Ruben Díaz has been deeply involved in flamenco music and culture with the gipsy community of southern Spain since a very early age which, in turn, led back to what was to become a longstanding and close association with Paco de Lucía who has been both Ruben’s example and preceptor for more than two decades. At the same time he obtained a solid foundation in Composition (Humberto Hernandez Medrano) Classical guitar technique (Manuel Lopez Ramos) and Modern Harmony.
