"Tomás San Miguel (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1953) is a craft man, with the patient of an archaeologist has search into his own language achieving something unique. Maybe he was after it without knowing how, since he left to study music to E.E:U.U., where he ended joining musicians like Stan Getz, Airto Moreira o Larry Coryell. Or later performing with the German Band Dissidenten.

But finally he found his unique voice, but much closer to his homeland: in the hamlet of Lezao near the mountains of his Basque Land." Carlos Galilea EL PAIS
