Paco Serrano is a Flamenco guitarist from C�rdoba. At the age of 12 he was studying at the Flamenco Academy of Merengue de C�rdoba, his sister Luisa learning dance with Merengue's wife Concha Calero at the same location. For recreation, he accompanied the dance of his sister, and the singers in the Pe�a Flamenca de C�rdoba. Following a TV appearance in 1980 with his teachers' troupe, he served his apprenticeship as accompanist to many major flamenco singers, such as Fosforito, La Ni�a de La Puebla, Juanito Valderrama, Chano Lobato, El Chocolate, Jos� Merc�, Lu�s de C�rdoba and Carmen Linares. The late '80s and early '90s saw him winning several national prizes, culminating in both the Premio Manolo de Huelva for accompaniment and the Premio Ram�n Montoya for solo guitar at the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco. In 1996 he graduated with a Master's Degree in Music from Rotterdam Conservatory, giving him the formal qualifications necessary to take up the position of Professor at the Conservatorio Superior de M�sica de C�rdoba, which he still holds.
