Ofer Ronen

Ofer Ronen was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and at a young age moved to the northern village Abirim, in the western Galilee. He began playing the guitar at a young age, and later he also began to play the oud. His work includes composing, arranging and performing with a fusion of musics between middle eastern Jewish and Arab musics, flamenco, and sephardic music.

His studies include a BA in musicology from the Hebrew university in Jerusaelm, a graduation diploma from the Fundación de Crisitina Heeren del Arte Flamenco, in Seville, Spain, and a master in flamenco guitar, from the Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya, in Barcelona.
