Rancapino Chico, one of the leading flamenco singers of his generation is set to perform on Saturday, March 28, 2020 at Roulette in New York. An award-winning artist, he is a torchbearer of flamenco puro (pure flamenco) and is considered one of the successors to the legendary Camarón and heir to the cantes of Cadiz (Cadiz songs) flamenco style.
He is the son of the celebrated singer Alonso Núñez “Rancapino,” and was raised in Chiclana de la Frontera in a family with deep Gypsy flamenco roots. Acclaimed for his powerful and soulful interpretations of flamenco, particularly cante jondo (deep song), he has often been compared to the grand masters of cante flamenco with his duende-fueled voice. He has shared the stage with leading names in flamenco, including Juan Habichuela, Chano Lobato, and his father.
In this program, Por mi amor al arte (For My Love of Art), which marks his first US solo performance, he will be joined by the commanding guitarist Antonio Higuero, who has appeared with many of Andalusia’s major singers. Here Rancapino Chico presents a live version of his latest recording with enthralling renditions of alegrías, fandangos, seguiriyas, bulerías, soleares, tangos, and zambra.
