Nani Cortés

The flamenco cante of Nani Cortés, a native of Andújar (Jaén), is the offering at this concert at Sala Apolo in Barcelona, as part of the world music programme.

Nani Cortés is a flamenco singer (cantaor) from Andújar (Jaén), raised in a family rooted in the arte jondo of southern Spain. He is a relative of the singer El Pele and the brother of Lin Cortés, with whom he produced his first album. As a child, he sang at private gatherings in front of Paco Valdepeñas, Terremoto, El Chino and Camarón de la Isla.

He has shared the stage and the studio with Alejandro Sanz, Enrique Morente, Vicente Amigo, Raimundo Amador, Rosario Flores, María Toledo, Antonio Carmona and Rosalía. His album Nadie me conoce presents a freer, more personal style of cante, and includes Como antes, Alegre vengo, Ley de vida and Te camelo, songs that remain in his repertoire.

His recent career includes the single Todo Es Mentira, which marks the start of a new creative phase, and he is preparing further releases. At Sala Apolo, a Barcelona venue for concerts and shows, the project is presented as a night of flamenco cante.
