    Tomatito

     

    Flamenco guitar

    Spain

     

    José Fernández Torres was born in Almeria (Andalusia) on August 20, 1958. He is the son and nephew of flamenco guitarists both nicknamed "El Tomate", he logically becomes "Tomatito" (the little tomato, but here the little one of "Tomato") as soon as he touches his first guitar at the age of ten. A pupil and accompanist of Paco de Lucia in the 1970s, Tomatito then took over from him at Camarón de la Isla in 1979.

Although he enjoyed the accordion, it was his grandparents' piano that sparked his interest the most, so at the age of 9 he asked his parents to buy him one. Their response was to first send him to the Elementary Music School, part of the National Conservatory, and then a year later to grant his wish.

    The formal system of the music school taught Camilo to play in the classical style, and by age 16 he was playing with the National Symphony Orchestra of the Dominican Republic.[1] Camilo comments on his first encounter with the sounds of jazz, in an interview[2] with the All About Jazz website:
