"........a thoughtful and serious musician". The New York Times

Now living in the US, Francisco J. Burgos was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He studied Classical guitar with Demetrio Ballesteros at the Royal Conservatory of Music, Madrid, Spain where he graduated in 1979 with Honors. That same year he made his New York City Classical Guitar debut Concert at Carnegie Recital Hall.

Now a much loved part of the Australian music scene, the dynamic Australian quartet Guitar Trek was formed in 1987 specifically to launch a guitar family project, which has rapidly attained the status of a major new direction in the guitar's continuing new development into the 21st century.
