El guitarrista que tocó hasta sus últimos días: el Sacromonte despide a Pepe Habichuela

Renowned flamenco guitarist Pepe Habichuela passed away in Madrid on Monday at the age indicated by the sources, prompting a day of mourning on Tuesday in his native Sacromonte neighborhood in Granada. Neighbors, artists, and admirers gathered to pay tribute to the musician, who continued to play until his final days.

Born in the Sacromonte district of Granada, Pepe Habichuela was the patriarch of one of the most influential dynasties in the history of flamenco. His death marks a significant loss for the traditional music community, cutting short a lifelong dedication to the guitar that defined generations of artistic expression within his family and the broader genre.
