Flamenco Eñe: Diego Guerrero

Diego Guerrero, one of Spain’s rising young Flamenco artists, presents his new album, Vengo Caminando” Guerrero has always transcended Flamenco in his music. He is not only a singer, but also a multifaceted musical producer, arranger, composer and guitarist, and one of the top references in the world when it comes to the fusion of Flamenco with other genres like Afro-cuban rumba or jazz.

Flamenco Eñe: María Terremoto

Defined as “the flag bearer for young Flamenco singers,” Spanish artist María Terremoto presents her first album following a career full of glowing reviews. María Terremoto comes from the Terremoto legacy, from Jerez de la Frontera: granddaughter of Fernando Fernández Monje, “Terremoto of Jerez” and daughter of singer Fernando “Terremoto” Fernández Pantoja. She was the youngest artist to ever receive the Giraldillo Award for New Artist at the Seville Flamenco Biennial. She just released her first album, La huella de mi sentío, in which she presents the cantes (songs) that have been with her since childhood.
