Superstar Diego El Cigala is contemporary flamenco’s most compelling voice. A passionate singer, he has collaborated with many of the most important names in flamenco, and is known for his pioneering work in fusing flamenco with Latin American music forms such as bolero, Afro Caribbean jazz, and tango. His collaborations with Latin jazz icons Jerry Gonzalez and Bebo Valdés are revered as breakthroughs in flamenco and Latin jazz. In this program, he will feature songs from his “Cigala & Tango” album, which was recently nominated for a Latin Grammy award.
“Diego is a conjurer of impulsiveness and abandon”
