Jorge respects Flamenco's roots and rules, the hundreds of years of development and growth passed down through generations. He was trained in the traditional way as is done in Flamenco circles, "face to face and hand to hand" sitting across from his "profesor". This is the passion and pride of true Flamenco, percussive, aggressive and dissonant virtuosity are found in his Bulerias, Alegrias, Tangos, Farruca and Sevillanas (traditional Flamenco styles).
