Encarna Anillo takes a step forward in her artistic career. The Cádiz-born cantaora, one of the most highly esteemed young voices on today’s flamenco scene, is preparing the release of her first solo album, ‘Barcas de plata’. But first, she wants to offer it live to the public in a very special setting; Málaga’s Gibralfaro Castle. The show where she will premiere this record produced by Miguel Poveda will take place on August 31st in the setting of Festival Málaga en Flamenco 2007.

Carmen Linares has already made the prediction: “I think she’s going to be someone in flamenco”. The lady of cante is referring to Encarnita Anillo, the young Cádiz-born cantaora she sponsors in the show ‘Desde el alma’ and who she takes turns with on cante in the production ‘Poeta en Nueva York’ by Blanca Li. She has already built up a thousand and one experiences live with bailaores, with guitarists and singing up front. But now she knocks things up a notch, pointing herself towards formal recognition. Coming out in a few months will be her first solo album, which is produced by a colleague, by Miguel Poveda.

Moreover, the cantaor collaborates on the album with a touch of cante, joining a list of artists who provide the artist with warm shelter. She has guitars such as those of Juan Diego, Juan Requena and Rafael Rodríguez, among others. And there’s also Farruquito, contributing not only footwork, but also the lyrics and music of ‘No hay tiempo’. Said bulerías form part of a varied repertoire including room for alegrías, malagueñas, soleá, milonga, zambra and tangos, among other styles.

With Juan Diego and Carmelilla Montoya

And although the album will not be released for a few more months, Encarnita Anillo isn’t going to miss the chance to offer a sneak preview of it to the crowd attending on the night of August 31st at Gibralfaro Castle in Málaga. The cantaora is going to be accompanied by Juan Diego, José Manuel León and Eduardo Pacheco on guitar, Juan Peña on percussion, Marcelino Fernández and Emilio Florido on clapping and choruses, plus the appearance of Carmelilla Montoya as guest artist. The show is part of the program of the festival Málaga en Flamenco 2007, and specifically of the series ‘Siete discos’ (‘Seven Albums’) which also includes appearances by artists such as Cañizares and Marina Heredia.
