Compás sui generis
They are flamencos who have taken pop rock as one of their
styles, but so personal that they deserve a separate mention.
Diego
Carrasco and Tomasito have the compás of Jerez
as their native tongue, but a great desire to soar. Diego
Carrasco started off by being the guitarist Tete accompanying
on baile, but he wanted to say something more. ‘Voz
de referencia’ is the album containing his manifesto,
although his relentless creativity hasn't let up on all his
records so far. How is it possible that without being a great
cantaor, he moves people when singing seguiriyas? Don't miss
him live. Or Tomasito.
And besides singing, he also dances. And he's neither a cantaor
nor a bailaor. He is also accompanied live by a band between
rock and flamenco, and on his records he has such ingenious
songs as ‘Soleá punk’ and ‘Torrotrón’,
which provided the name for his first album. Two phenomena.
