3 FLAMENCOS

FLAMENCO EN LA FRONTERA. NOCHE DE GITANOS
One of this edition’s most peculiar concerts will undoubtedly be the one we see in this gala. A special, magnificent flamenco concert by Diego El Cigala, pure song prepared specially by the maestro for his Madrid, recalling the greatest songs in our history. It is having its premiere in the Sala Roja de los Teatros del Canal and, to celebrate it, the gypsies of Fanfare Shavale, from Rumania, will offer a masterly party finish with their lively, thunderous music. A flamenco evening and a gypsy evening.

Diego “El Cigala”, the singer known internationally for his incursions into the bolero and the tango, offers us his deepest soul in 3 flamencos. In this trio of aces, Diego joins the flamenco avant garde of two young stars of the arte jondo. Diego Del Morao, heir to tradition but a reference in present day guitar playing, and Israel Suárez “Piraña” , a percussionist in demand on musical stages of the highest level. He can go from accompanying Paco de Lucía to Lenny Kravitz, although he is a Porrina through and through. The great harmony between the three artists and their outstanding individual careers foretell a great show.

3 Flamencos is a return to the music with which El Cigala began, the purest tradition. The Madrid singer is known for his interest and mastery when it comes to exploring other musical areas. He did it with jazz, bolero, or Cuban music, and now he’s doing it with tango. Nevertheless, as a good flamenco artist, Diego has always returned to his origins. Last year he joined with Tomatito in a series of concerts and this year he is doing the same with 3 Flamencos, a project in which he is flanked by two of his closest collaborators.
