He was soon performing on international stages and winning prestigious awards for his incredible virtuosity, such as the Premio Nacional de Guitarra (also won by Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo), National Competition of the Art of Flamenco of Córdoba, Niño Ricardo National Competition of Flamenco Guitar, International Flamenco Guitar Competition of Jerez and others. He has performed with many of the most important flamenco artists, such as Paco de Lucia, Diego El Cigala, Antonio Canales, Diego del Morao, Richard Bona, Estrella Morente, Joaquín Cortés, and Miguel Poveda, among others. Rey has performed in prestigious concert halls worldwide, including Japan, Russia, Latin America , Europe and Iran. Antonio’s most recent CD, Flamenco sin Fronteras was awarded the 2020 Latin Grammy for Best Flamenco Album.
