Curro De Utrera – Grands Cantaores Du Flamenco Volume 25 (Le Chant Du Monde, 2016)
Le Chant Du Monde’s series dedicated to the great flamenco singers celebrates the work of Curro De Utrera. Francisco Díaz García, better known as Curro De Utrera, was one of the greatest flamenco singers of the past decades. He passed away in 2015.
Although he was born in Utrera, a Seville suburb, he spent a long time time in Córdoba province, where he adopted many of Córdoba’s flamenco styles. You can listen to some of these on the album, including alegrías de Córdoba, soleares de Córdoba and fandangos de Lucena.
Curro De Utrera was a passionate artist with a powerful voice who mastered many other flamenco styles from other parts of Andalusia (southern Spain). Additional styles featured in the album include fandangos, martinete, fandangos de Huelva, polo, serranas, seguiriyas con martinete, jaberas, malagueñas, caracoles, tientos, bulerías con fandango, media granaína, alegrías de Cádiz and peteneras.
Curro De Utrera – Grands Cantaores Du Flamenco Volume 25 is a fantastic introduction to the music of a truly significant flamenco artist.
