Who was Niño Miguel, the guitarist behind Mundo mágico del flamenco?

It is centered on Niño Miguel's flamenco guitar rather than being structured as a conventional singer-led album. The attraction is his handling of established flamenco forms through distinctive melodic and rhythmic ideas.
How does Niño Miguel's playing relate to Paco de Lucía's generation?
Both belong to the era in which flamenco guitar expanded as a solo concert form, but Niño Miguel developed a recognizably individual Huelva-rooted voice. Guitarists often discuss him alongside Paco de Lucía and Manolo Sanlúcar while noting his very different career.
