Javier Molina

Javier Molina Cundí was a guitarist from Jerez de la Frontera credited as the founder of the Jerez school of flamenco guitar, beginning his career as a child accompanist and touring the Andalusian circuit with a young Antonio Chacón starting in 1885. He trained a generation of Jerez-area guitarists but, like many accompanists of his era, left almost no solo commercial recordings.
