Guitarist Francesc de Paula Soler was born in 1949 into a well-known Spanish artistic family where he started his musical studies at the age of six. He has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards. Regarding his wide international activity as a performer, the critics - calling him Poet of the Guitar- have hailed Soler as the most notable name in the new generation of Spanish guitarists.
