Diego El Cigala - Aurora

The singer Diego el Cigala, one of the most representative artists of the flamenco genre, returns to the stage to present his new album, Aurora, and does so with his first world tour in twenty…

Diego El Cigala is a flamenco singer with more than three decades of career and a dozen records released. Raised in Madrid, he is the nephew of Rafael Farina and, at the age of twelve, had already won a flamenco competition in Getafe. His first solo work, Undebel, appeared in 1997.

His international profile came with Lágrimas negras (2003), recorded with the Cuban pianist Bebo Valdés, an album that earned him several awards and took him to theatres in Paris, New York, London and Buenos Aires. His collaborators include María Dolores Pradera, Niño Josele, Antonio Carmona and El Arrebato.

Aurora draws on his roots in Spain and crosses the Atlantic. The repertoire includes fandangos, bulerías, boleros and son, styles with which the singer became familiar when he met Bebo Valdés. This tour, the first of global reach in two decades, arrives at Cine Capitol Gran Vía, a concert and entertainment venue on Madrid's Gran Vía.
