Javier Gómez ''Cuadrao'', born in Madrid, discovered his passion for flamenco guitar at a young age and initially learned on his own, then spent five years improving his playing skills under the supervision of master Ramón Ortega at Casa Patas and at the school of guitarist Fernando Mejías in Vallecas. In 2014, he studied the basics of music at the Waltons School of Music in Dublin, and a year later he moved to Seville to expand his knowledge at the Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco Foundation, where for five years he simultaneously studied and worked as an assistant, gaining knowledge from such flamenco guitar masters as Paco Cortés, Pedro Sierra, Niño de Pura and others. He also studied dance accompaniment for a year from Miguel Pérez. His style is a guitar playing tied to the flamenco tradition, modest and with a great sense of how to accompany not only singing, but also dancing. In recent years, he has played for dancers in many competitions in Andalusia, as well as at flamenco festivals in Poland and Italy. Currently, he works as an accompanying guitarist in numerous "tablaos" on the Seville stage, combining these performances with official flamenco guitar studies at the "Rafael Orozco" Major Conservatory in Cordoba.

The concert is organized with financial support from the budget of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
