2000-2009 Flamenco Latin Grammy
Niña Pastori wins the 2009
Flamenco Latin Grammy. And she has done so with the album
in which she has come closest to the cante flamenco, ‘Esperando
verte’. In this album, for the first time in her career,
she has decided to sing in such pure flamenco styles as
the “soleá” or the “minera”,
accompanied only by the touch of guitar players such as
Diego del Morao or Josemi Carmona.

As she explained in an interview
with Flamenco-world.com, “after recording ‘Joyas
prestadas’, I wanted to look inside of myself and
search for my roots, for my early days, and for the way
in which I began singing”. Her repertoire also includes
“fandangos” from Huelva, “alegrías”
and “bulerías”, as well as songs in her
more usual flamenco-pop style with “rumbas”
or “tangos”, such as the one which gives name
to the album.
In previous editions of the awards, Niña
Pastori had to compete with latin stars such as Shakira
in the general pop category. In this tenth edition of the
Grammy Latino, held in Las Vegas on 5 November, the race
for the flamenco award also included the cantaores Enrique
Morente and Carmen Linares, guitar player Vicente Amigo
and also Miguel Poveda with his “copla” album.
India Martínez, who competed in the best new-comer
category, Chaboli as a producer, and Ojos de Brujo for their
‘Aocaná’, were also among those who did
not receive an award on this occasion.
