Flamenco Singer: Estrella Morente

The flamenco singer Estrella Morente, daughter of the singer Enrique Morente and the dancer Aurora Carbonell, has got flamenco on her blood. Since she was a little girl, she was taught to this art that has made her as one of the most known international artists of our time.

 

Even though she started singing when she was 7 years old, the first time she got known by the public was on the Alpine Skiing Championship in Sierra Nevada when she was 16 years old. Estrella Morente has made five albums between 2001 and 2012 and she has given concerts on scenarios in all over the world. Her voice, sweet and full of feelings, gives its own color for the seguiriyas, habaneras and all the rhythms that the singer dares to sing on the different events she takes part.

On September she participated together with the best flamenco singers, to the spectacles organized in Bienal. This meeting, Bienal that takes place every second year is a reference to all the flamenco lovers.

Camarón: reborn of flamenco

It is undeniable what did the name Camarón do for the flamenco. Only with his singing, and together with other big singers of flamenco, he constructed renovation and revolution, without ever abandoning the fundamental pillars or essence of flamenco.

He is one of the best singers of all of our times. He made the reborn of flamenco possible, when all doubted him, and just when this generation was passing through the deep crisis and giving up for lost.

Even though, the transformation was produced from the same midst and heart that makes beat the sing, its unique and passionate character never left back. In fact, for that reason it became that strong and characteristic.

His early passing away and quick presence as a big artist on the world of flamenco, made him as a unique legend giving a surname for the art, becoming impossible to identify to his huge power and being a model to follow by all the singers of flamenco in Seville.

Camarón: el renacimiento del flamenco

Es indiscutible lo que supuso para el flamenco el nombre de Camarón. Solo con su cante contribuyó, junto a otros grandes cantaores del flamenco, a la renovación y revolución del flamenco, sin abandonar nunca sus pilares fundamentales, su esencia.

Es uno de los mejores cantaores de todos los tiempos e hizo renacer el flamenco cuando todos dudaban de él, justo cuando este género atravesaba una profunda crisis y se daba por perdido. 

Aunque la transformación se produjo desde las mismas entrañas y corazón que hacen latir este cante, su carácter, único y pasional, nunca se dejó atrás. De hecho, fue eso mismo lo que lo hizo tan fuerte y característico. 

Su temprana muerte y su rápida presencia como gran artista en el mundo del flamenco hicieron de él una leyenda única, dándole apellido al arte, llegando a ser imposible igualar su gran poderío y siendo un modelo a seguir por todos los cantaores de flamenco en Sevilla.
