Artist Type: 

Nacho Vegas

Self-described as a rock-singer-songwriter, Nacho Vegas blends the polyhedric language of rock and the most stark lyricism into an intense whole. His lyrics are painful and celebratory, pathetic and grand, brutally lucid and of an intimate beauty; a desperate philosophy of survival shines with a wicked sense of humour and a longing for the divine. Nacho Vegas has been a prominent figure in the Spanish 'indie' scene since his work with Eliminator Jr, Manta Ray; bands influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and other similar avant-rock acts of the early 90's.

Estrella Morente

A promise for the Flamenco altogether. Her career dates far back. At age four she sang Levante chants, at seven recorded with guitar master Sabicas and at sixteen impressed thousands during the opening ceremony for the Sierra Nevada World Ski Championships. Her craft has amazed hard-to-please flamencologists as well as rockers like Lenny Kravitz. Her genetics plays along. The father, Enrique Morente, is one of the greatest innovators of the 'cante' and they collaborated together in many projects.

Carmen Linares

Carmen Pacheco Rodríguez, born in Linares (Jaén) in 1951, is without doubt a fundamental pillar of all current flamenco singing, she masters a vast repertoire of flamenco styles due to her long experience. Her enormous versatility has allowed her to take part in zarzuelas (a Spanish form of musical drama), plays and several projects involving classical musicians and musicans from the world of jazz. Out of her works, the recording of an anthology of female flamenco singing is the one which stands out.
