Modern-Day Flamenco Star Diego El Cigala Announces Major North American Tour

Diego El Cigala, one of the leading modern flamenco vocalists from Spain will be touring the United States and Canada during the next weeks.

The celebrated ‘cantaor’ (flamenco singer) will be presenting Romance de la Luna Tucumana, his most recent U.S. Album. “My eternal thanks to Bebo Valdés for giving me the confidence I needed to travel beyond flamenco and explore other musical worlds,” says Diego about this new recording.

In Romance de la Luna Tucumana, Cigala reinvents classics from tango and the Argentine folk repertoire, including “Nieblas del Riachuelo,” “Naranjo en Flor,” “Por Una Cabeza,” “Balderrama” and “Canción Para Un Niño En La Calle” (Song For a Street Child), a posthumous, electronic duet with the late singer Mercedes Sosa.

Initially released in Mexico, and only digitally in the United States, Romance de la Luna Tucumana won the singer his latest Latin Grammy for Best Tango Album in 2013.

Diego El Cigala – Voice
