This week three concerts have been organised in hommage to the flamenco guitarist Manuel Moreno Junquera ‘Moraíto Chico’, who died in August this year. The first will be held on Friday 18 November 2011 in Jerez de la Frontera, followed by two concerts next month at the Arteria Coliseum in Madrid on 14 and 15 December 2011.
