Lorenzo Sanchez is a guitarist from the French professional blues scene. His Andalusian origins, his artistic encounters and the strong musical influences of the great blues masters, from Hendrix to Ry Cooder to Derek Trucks, have shaped an original Afro-American musical form.

Founder of the legendary group Miguel M & The BBB, winner of the 1999 Chesterfield Café national competition (jury: Thierry Ardisson, Yvan Le Bolloch and Peter Kingsberry), which led to the recording of the album "Live au Chesterfield Café".
His live experience has been enriched by collaborations with musicians such as Fred Chapellier, Johan Dalgaard (Cali, Gaétan Roussel, Johnny Halliday...), Philippe Brohet (Juliette), Greg Szlap, Mike Greene, Manu Codjia, Dave Crow & Andrew Balcon (Heymoonshaker).
Combining sensitive, inventive and powerful guitar playing (nominated twice in the "10 best blues guitarists of the year" in 2000/2001 - Euroblues), with singing in Spanish and/or English and Spanglish.

He has participated in musical aesthetics mixing French chanson and jazz, with other artists (carte blanche with Dorothée Daniel, Anne Sylvestre, Agnès Bihl, Yves Jamait, Aldebert at the Scène Nationale "Le Nouveau Relax" etc. - residencies with Hélène Labarrière, Hasse Pulsen, at the "Château de Faverolles").

His music is a blend of blues, soul, jazz and rock, sometimes tinged with Indian or Hispanic sounds, sublimated by his slide guitar playing.
