Diego El Cigala is, quite simply, the most exciting and innovative flamenco singer in the world today. Passionate, profound, and immensely proud of his Spanish gypsy heritage, El Cigala has been called “the Sinatra of flamenco.” His earthy and exultant and richly emotive voice marks him as one of the great singers of the last century. He is one of those rare crossover artists who has stayed true to his musical heritage while achieving name recognition with mainstream audiences around the world.
El Cigala’s latest recording, 2013’s Romance de la luna Tucuman, offers a fresh take on the Argentinean tango tradition. It springs from his 2010 visit to Argentina, where he immersed himself in the country’s musical tradition and merged his own band with Argentine tango masters to make musical magic. Tucuman triumphed at the 2013 Latin Grammys, winning El Cigala a third Grammy, his second for Best Tango. This landmark album will be the focus of this latest tour.
