His repertoire includes flamenco rumbas, tangos, bulerías, fandangos and martinetes, and his first album was « Este soy yo » (2001). He has taken his bulerías, tanguillos, fandangos, martinetes and tarantos to tablaos and festivals across the country.

Alongside Paco de Lucía, he recorded a flamenco version of the Anthem of Andalusia.

Capullo en Rama is the show with which this performance premieres at the Centro Cultural Paco Rabal. The title alludes to en rama sherry, which is served directly from the cask, without adjustments. On stage, Capullo de Jerez is accompanied by Ramón Trujillo on flamenco guitar, José Rubichi « El Tripa » on percussion and Miguel Flores on compás. The approximate duration of the show is 75 minutes.

Foreign cultural centre hosts concerts and shows in Madrid. The performance is rooted in the most traditional flamenco, with a clear defence of its roots and little inclination towards fusions, and is presented as part of the Suma Flamenca festival.
