Biography
With more than 25 national and international awards to his credit, Luis Alejandro García (Tenerife, 1993) is one of the most awarded Spanish guitarists of his generation. Praised as an interpreter who combines 'virtuosity with exceptional musical nuance in his playing' (Enric Madriguera, Russell Cleveland Director of Guitar Studies at UT Dallas), has won First Prizes at competitions such as 'José Tomás - Villa de Petrer' International Guitar Competition, El Primer Palau Prize, 'Ciudad de Coria' International Guitar Competition, 'Fernando Sor' International Guitar Competition, the Permanent Competition of Juventudes Musicales de España or 'Miquel Llobet' International Guitar Competition of Barcelona, among many others.
He has given concerts and masterclasses in a large part of the Spanish geography, Germany, the United States, Chile, Argentina or Andorra, and has collaborated with orchestras such as the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra or OSLP. In 2018 he released his first CD, 'Lazos sobre el Atlántico', produced by JSM Guitar Records, in which he links his classical education with his Latin American music passion. He is a member of Canary Guitar Quartet, with which he has been internationally awarded, in addition to having released their first record, '21'.
In continuous growth, his career will lead him to debut as a soloist in such famous venues as the Musikverien Wien or the Teatro Monumental (April 20'), together with the National Radio and Television Orchestra of Spain (ORTVE), as well as concert tours on USA, Italy México, Brazil, or a large part of Europe, as an EuroStrings artist for 2019/2020 season, as well as in places such as Palau de la Música Catalana.

Discography
Lazos sobre el Atlántico
JSM Guitar Records, 2018
“Lazos sobre el Atlántico” is born from the bond that links the Canary Islands with the continents that surround it: Africa, America and Europe. As a cornerstone, given its location in the Atlantic Ocean, the archipielago has been nourished by a broad cultural spectrum. The so-called tri-continental nature of the islands has inspired this project that awakens and evokes feelings through the music emanating from the strings of the guitar in a journey through the works of authors from Spain and Latin America.
