| Performance Notes | With a passion for the clarinet and guitar, Myrdinn has created his own original and unique style of contemporary flamenco.
Myrddin is the youngest son of the famous Belgian multi-instrumentalist Koen De Cauter. Under the wings of his father he learned, at a young age, to play the clarinet (mainly jazz and Gipsy style). At age fourteen he discovered flamenco guitar and was bitten by the richness and originality of this musical culture. After learning the fundaments from his father and studying classical guitar in Belgium he went to Spain to take master-classes by some of the greatest names of flamenco: Manolo Sanlucar, Gerardo Nuñez, Rafaël Riqueni and Enrique De Melchor
Through the years Myrddin has mastered a phenomenal technical virtuosity but his first concern has always been the depth of music. It is probably this variety of interests and influences that created his original and unique style of contemporary flamenco. After beginning as a solo artist, in 2001, he released in his first CD 'Imre' (Culture Records) and became a household name in the flamenco world of Belgium. In 2005 he made a second album 'Novar' (Munich Records). By the end of 2009 his third CD will be released. |
