about
Miguel Vega de la Cruz, Niño Miguel (Huelva, 1952). Guitarist Despite the inconstancy of his career, the son of Almería-born guitarist Miguel el Tomate is considered to be one of the great flamenco tocaores. He learned to play together with his father and was already accompanying top cante figures when still a boy. In the '70s his way of performing toque was all the rage. He received the Honor Award of the National Guitar Contest of Jerez's Los Cernícalos Peña in 1973 and Spanish Television dedicated a special feature to him in the program ‘Raíces’. He recorded two albums with Universal, re-released in 1999 with the title ‘Grabaciones históricas. Flamenco es Universal. Niño Miguel’, an album currently unpublished. He seldom appeared on stages and in fact, Seville's 3rd Bienal de Flamenco virtually meant his farewell. Having paid tribute to the greatness of his compositions are guitarists such as his nephew Tomatito and Rafael Riqueni. Indispensable pieces stand out from his musical legacy such as the fandango ‘Brisas de Huelva’ and the waltz ‘Lamento’, fortunately transcribed under the title ‘Guitarra gitana. El Niño Miguel’. Niño Miguel currently ‘roams’ about the streets of Huelva, completely aloof from the professional circuit. His performance in March 2005 at Joaquín Turina Hall, in Seville's ‘Jueves Flamencos’ series, is one of the few chances enthusiasts have had in years to enjoy his guitar.
