During the mid 1960’s, Michael Moroch was a folk musician performing in the New York and tri-state area with banjo, guitar and other folk related instruments. In 1966 he was introduced to Flamenco guitar which quickly consumed his musical interests. After studying in New York, Michael left for Spain in 1970 and returned in 1976. Michael resided in Madrid and in addition to studying guitar, performed American Folk Music throughout Spain as part of the U.S. Embassy Cultural Exchange Program. Michael also taught at The American School of Madrid and lived in Tangiers Morocco. Michael studied with many teachers and styles. Michael‘s playing style is strongly influenced by the flamenco guitar styles of the 50’s and 60’s centered around the guitarist Sabicas. Upon returning to the U.S., Michael performed as a soloist, played for flamenco shows in the New York City area and taught.  In the mid 80’ s,  Michael stopped playing for approximately 12 years. Michael began playing several years ago due to both his own desire and the guitar interests of his son. He is associated with North Jersey based flamenco dancers Antonia Messina and Silvia De La Rosa.
