Jorge Liceaga was born in Mexico City, where he studied ethnomusicology in the Escuela Nacional de Música and became an accomplished Flamenco guitarist, accompanying diverse figures from Mexico and Spain in important venues throughout Mexico. At the same time he developed his skills as a composer and arranger in recordings and performances of children's music with his project "Grupo Kata". Now in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is an indispensable part of the Bay Area's Flamenco community. He has been part of notable groups such as "Fuego Vivo" (Flamenco music and dance), and the quintet Potaje, which explores the musical bridges between Spain and Cuba. He is the musical director and guitarist of Virginia Iglesia's Flamenco Dance Company and is also held in high regard as one of the Bay Area's finest treseros (Cuban tres), as a result of his tenure with the Orquesta La Moderna Tradición. Jorge teaches music to children and adults in the San Francisco Bay Area.
