Spanish of partly Gypsy decent, the flamenco guitarist made his fourth visit to Hong Kong to perform Poema at the City Festival. English-educated and based in London, he was described by The Observer newspaper as 'one of the greatest guitarists of our century'.

Favourite book: The Bible is the only book worth reading - it even cures illness. I have healed nine people by reading them the holy scriptures, some were suffering from diseases such as multiple sclerosis. We can all heal ourselves with God's light and energy.

Magazine: The Sunday Times supplements. Not only do they cover a wide range of current affairs without bias, the culture section includes art forms from obscure regions such as the Middle East and Egypt, which you don't find in other Western publications.

Film: Titanic by James Cameron - not just because it was well made and Kate Winslet did a great job, but because my grandmother died when it sank.

CD: At the moment, the Second Concerto by Rachmaninov - it's particularly lyrical and romantic. I prefer the version by John Ogden.

Car: What I'm driving at the moment, a Lotus Esprit SEV8. Lotus gave it to me after I did an ad to promote it.
