Juani de la Isla (Juan Francisco Gonzalez Caballero) is a world-class flamenco guitarist currently touring the U.S.A., with two major flamenco companies. He is from the island of San Fernando near the port city of Cádiz in southern Spain. The nephew of renowned singer Alvaro Aguilar “Aguichan,” Juani began his musical education studying with the great flamenco singer Rafael Romero and has been a student of the celebrated flamenco guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar. Juani de la Isla has also been trained in the Gypsy flamenco style of “Morón” – a small pueblo in the heart of Andalucía’s flamenco country.

He has toured three continents accompanying some of the finest flamenco artists of this century, such as singers Jose Mercé and Pansequito, as well as dancers Javier Barón, Sara Baras and Manuela Carrasco. He has composed music for the flamenco dance company of Cristina Hoyos and for over a decade has been the musical director for the popular flamenco singer “El Barrio.”

He is the founder of the musical group “The Juani de la Isla Quartet” featuring performers from Spain, Latin America and the USA. He is a nominee for the Outstanding Achievement in Music at the Isadora Duncan Izzie' Awards for his captivating musical composition for the production "UnMundo Sin Tiempo."

His recording career includes participation on more than 300 albums with some of Spain’s finest flamenco artists. In 2015, he released his first solo album “Libertad En Mis Manos.” Look for a new solo album coming from de la Isla on the World Explorer label in 2025.
