“We are immensely honored to be worthy of the José Tomás Honorary Award. We are aware that this award is only offered to great exponents of the world guitar and this gives us immense pride. Another reason for joy is the fact of having personally met the great teacher José Tomás in the 1980s and bearing in mind that his name will always be remembered through this award. »
