"The King of the Flamenco Guitar" was born into a gypsy family in Pamplona, Spain in 1912 as Agustin Castellón Campos. The nickname Sabicas is said to have come from his mispronunciation of the Spanish word for beans, habas, to which was added a diminutive ending. A self taught child prodigy, he made his professional debut playing at the age of 10 at a concert by the singer La Chelita in a theatre in Madrid. Reviewers dubbed him a "fenómeno", a compliment that followed him through his whole life. He soon became an established artist; a book on flamenco from the late 1930s describes him as one of the great guitarists of Spain.

Sabicas gained renown as a concert performer, often accompanying famous dancers; his career was for years linked with that of the great Carmen Amaya. A prolific recording artist, he made over fifty record albums, and helped spread the popularity of flamenco worldwide.. He died in New York City in 1990.
