Tito Heredia is an Andalucian gypsy born in Algeciras, near Gibraltar and was educated in Madrid and London. With a family background of flamenco music, his uncle a singer and his cousins guitarists, he started his career when he was only eleven years old. Unable to read music he learned the correct fingering for the guitar fro a diagram drawn in the back of a cigarette packet by a veteran flamenco player. At the age of eighteen he won a scholarship to Madrid University, where he graduated as an architect. However, he then decided he was more interested in the intricacies of virtuoso guitar playing than elevations, plans, and blueprints!. Although he plays classical guitar, Tito is chiefly interested in Flamenco Music - "It has the tragic intensity of life"- he says. Tito has played throughout Spain, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, The United States and Australia. He has accompanied Trader Fanlkner in "Lorca" at the Lyric, and Donmar Theatres in London.
