Biography

The son of an Asturian couple, Geraldo was born in Toulouse and spent his childhood in France.[3] He gained a background in classical and jazz percussion[1] before he got his start in flamenco as a young man in Madrid, having met Diego Carrasco who needed a percussionist.[4] He has worked with some of the biggest names in flamenco and Latin music including Paco de Lucía,[5] Tomatito,[6] Chano Domínguez,[7] Carlos Núñez,[8] Raimundo Amador,[9] Javier Álvarez,[10] Niña Pastori,[11] and Manolo Sanlúcar.[12][4] He has also worked with musicians outside Spain, and has worked with French/Vietnamese jazz guitarist Nguyen Le and American folk musician Jackson Browne, featuring on and producing for his fourth live album Love Is Strange: En Vivo Con Tino and on the song "These Days",[13] touring with him since 2006. He featured on Paco de Lucia's 1998 album Luzia.

Geraldo formed a group with Carles Benavent and Jorge Pardo, both of which also performed with Paco de Lucia and toured in 1998 and again in 2007-8.[14] Geraldo played percussion on Pardo's 2332 album, and Moraíto's Aire album.[15] Geraldo's 2003 album Tino, took three years to complete and had only one flamenco track.[16] Billboard cited him in 1996 as an "eminent flamenco musician".[17] He has produced albums for Luz Casal, Carrasco, Elbicho, Jazzpaña, and Tomasito.[18]
