Flamenco once again unites to honor Moraíto. Following the concert on November 18th which gathered nearly four thousand people in Jerez, the tribute moves on to Madrid. On December 14th and 15th, 2011, the Teatro Coliseum hosts two collective concerts which will feature the unselfish participation of numerous figures of today’s flamenco with the dual aim of remembering Jerez-born guitarist Manuel Moreno Junquera - who passed away on August 10th - and to raise funds for his family. In the first concert, the one on Wednesday the 14th, performances are scheduled by Paco de Lucía, his son Diego del Morao, José Mercé - who he was lead guitarist for -, Tomatito, Niña Pastori, Carmen Linares, Tomasito, Remedios Amaya, El Torta, Miguel Poveda, Marina Heredia, Montse Cortés, Manuel Molina, Cuadro de Jerez and the group Los Rockeros Canasteros (Diego Carrasco, Raimundo Amador, Tino di Geraldo and Jorge Pardo). In the second one, scheduled for Thursday, December 15th, appearances will be made by Manolo Sanlúcar, Sara Baras, Diego el Cigala, Diego del Morao, Vicente Soto, Pitingo, Arcángel, Duquende, Gerardo Núñez, José Miguel Carmona, Cañizares, Navajita Plateá and Cuadro de Jerez. As Diego el Cigala and Carmen Linares stated in the presentation of the tribute concerts, “never before has flamenco brought together so many figures to remember such a brilliant guitarist and an even better person”.
