Julian Arcas

Julián Arcas, born in María, Almería, Spain on October 25, 1832, was a Spanish classical guitarist and composer who left an indelible mark on the world of music. Often regarded as one of the most underrated yet significant figures in 19th-century Spanish music, Arcas' compositions are a testament to his mastery of the guitar. His influence extended to the legendary Francisco Tárrega, whom he taught in Barcelona from 1864 to 1870, and Antonio de Torres, a renowned luthier.

Despite his untimely death in 1882, his legacy continues to inspire and captivate musicians and audiences alike.
