Kiki Morente y Carlos de Jacoba
Kiki Morente
Singer, guitarist and composer, son of the unforgettable maestro Enrique Morente, he began his career as a child, accompanying his father singing on the best stages in the world, standing out for his stage maturity and premature wisdom.
Since his first debut at the Suma Flamenca Festival in Madrid 2012, he is one of the most requested singers of the current flamenco scene and combines his performances with collaborations with great figures of guitar and dance.
He has inherited the ability and intuition to refresh the genre without renouncing the origins, the purest flamenco. In addition, he stamps his own personality on all his performances and captures the audience immediately thanks to his charisma and confidence. In 2017, he released his first solo album “Albayzín” and in 2021, his second album “El Cante”, nominated for a Latin Grammy.
Carlos de Jacoba
Carlos de Jacoba is a flamenco musician, guitarist and composer, born in the heart of a gypsy family in Motril, a town of Granada. His playing is a convergence of the tradition, wisdom and passion that marks authentic gypsy playing with the modern, fresh and romantic; product of the influence of the greatest masters, Camarón and Paco de Lucía.
The oldest of two brothers, in his childhood he was surrounded by flamenco. On the one hand, at home his father Antonio, an aficionado of the “cante”, passed on his knowledge and passion for this art form. On the other hand, out on the streets of his neighborhood Huerta Carrasco, Carlos would fall in love with the sounds of the guitar. These first years would leave a permanent mark on his understanding of flamenco.
Carlos de Jacoba was frequently solicited by the most important figures of the flamenco panorama such as Estrella Morente and Duquende among others. The same could be said for accompanying dance, working for dancers of such scale as Antonio Canales and Farruquito. Unrelenting in his search for new sounds on the horizon, Carlos considers himself a flamenco nonconformist who strives to not only break the mold but also create his own.
