His career is also marked by teaching and extending flamenco’s reach. Curro has given guitar courses in Venezuela, Germany, France, Ukraine, Chicago, Geneva and Brussels, demonstrating his commitment to spreading flamenco’s tradition beyond Spain. His presence at international festivals such as Mont de Marsan, Chicago Flamenco Festival, Albuquerque, Queretaro, New York, Austria, Luxembourg and the Málaga & Sevilla Biennales underscores his global impact.
His style blends deep respect for the flamenco tradition with his own voice: powerful in accompaniment, sensitive in solo contexts, always rooted in the dance, the voice, and the “toque” (flamenco guitar playing) that supports the emotional core of flamenco. His trajectory—from Málaga learner to international performer—illustrates both perseverance and artistic authenticity.
As of 2025, Curro de María continues to perform, collaborate and teach, maintaining his place among the respected flamenco guitarists of his generation. His contributions reaffirm that the guitar in flamenco is more than an instrument—it is a heartbeat, a conversation, a cultural expression woven through generation after generation.
