About Esaú
Esaú Galván Saltos was born in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit, Mexico. At 13 he began studying with a gentleman in his home town who knew some guitar. Esaú rapidly outgrew what he could teach him and moved on to the rigorous study of classical guitar. He then met Wolfgang (Lobo) Fink recently arrived from Bavaria after a successful career in Europe spreading the joy of flamenco puro and began studying with him. Lobo had lived with gypsies and studied with them in Granada and the South of France. His was a more hands on approach which greatly enriched Esaú’s technique. Galván listened to recordings of Lobo’s flamenco music gleaning all he could from them. While he continued his studies with various maestros in Guadalajara with his young friends he formed a group called Quisco. They performed cumbias, rock n’ roll, bossa nova, assorted styles of music; during their prepa years. They then formed the group Tatewari and Esaú went on to Tepic to study music and guitar at the university. During that time he traveled at least once a month to study flamenco guitar with Maestro Fernando Martinez Macias in Guadalajara. After receiving his degree in 2010, he did three months of further study with Maestro Martinez in Guadalajara. Returning to La Cruz, he rededicated his time to Tatewari. In 2011 Esau was fortunate to be able to travel to Spain to study at the prestigious Academia Cañarroto del Entri in Madrid where he furthered his skills in flamenco guitar also visiting Granada to get a first hand view of the authentic flamenco puro.
