The Losadas are a Gypsy family from Madrid with strong roots in the Flamenco tradition for they are related to Antonio Losada, Jesús El Romaní, El Yunque, Felipe and Jerónimo Maya. They began their artistic career many years ago, at an early age. Diego and Vaki have been in the show business since the age of six.
The Losadas have participated in important Flamenco shows, staging worldwide performances: Cumbre Flamenca (1986-1990), Misa Flamenca with Paco Peña’s Company, Flamenco Fusion (1990-1992), Istanbul International Music Festival (1989-1990-1993), Cordoba International Guitar Festival (1990) and a concert for the English Royal Family at Kensington Palace, London (1993).
