Marcos Marín

Marcos Marín was born in Spain. He started his musical journey in Montréal in the famous boy choir Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal, under Gilbert Patenaude’s direction. He then pursued his studies at Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal, Université de Montréal and Université du Québec à Montréal, where he studied classical guitar with Álvaro Pierri. Marcos discovered Flamenco when he was just 14 years old and from then on it became the main art form to which he would dedicate his musical career. Musicians like Paco Pedrosa, Manuel Parilla and El Falo have helped him mold and hone his art throughout the years. Marcos’ international stage experience includes working with such artists as Paco Romero (Ecuador), Francis Brunn (Germany), Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca (USA), Joaquín Ruiz (Spain), Esmeralda Enrique (Canada), Caroline Planté and Mariano Cruceta (Canada), Myriam Allard and La Otra Orilla (Canada). In Quebec, Marcos has worked with almost all flamenco companies and has participated in various projects on a regular basis including collaborations with Daniel Lavoie & Louise Forestier, France D'Amour, Jean-François Groulx, Stéphane Rousseau, Luc Boivin, Le Cirque du Soleil and Ubisoft.  Marcos has been teaching cante and palmas workshops and classes for over 22 years. The quality of his teaching is appreciated by musicians as well as dancers.
