Biography
Francisco Delgado Hermosín was born in Morón de la Frontera on 3 May 1965. He started playing the guitar because he was friends with Juan Luis López, son of Bartolo, the only guitar master that existed then in Morón. He stayed there a year and then took lessons with Manolo Morilla.
When he was young he started to take part in guitar contests. In 1995 he won the bulerías prize at the Hospitalet Contest and in 1997 he won the overall prize at that same contest. He was invited to the International Guitar Festival in Havana in 1998.
