  • He has been dubbed 'the Sinatra of flamenco': Diego 'el Cigala' 's gravelly voice has captured the souls of people all over the world. The gypsy singer from the Lavapiés district in Madrid is one of the great interpreters of the classical, profound flamenco song - the cante jondo - subtly forging unrivalled musical worlds of his own.
    Cigala - literally: 'norway lobster', Ramón Jiménez Salazar's stage name - recently broke through internationally with his take on traditional Cuban songs on the album Lagrimas Negras, recorded with pianist Bebo Valdés. In the same way, he recently fused Argentine tango and flamenco into a new style on his latest CD Cigala & Tango. In Spanish flamenco circles, this has given rise to the verb 'acigalar'. In Cigala's hands, flamenco, tango, Latin jazz, bolero and son meld into a warm musical universe without boundaries, accompanied by the swinging guitar of Diego del Morao, the son of the recently deceased maestro Moraíto Chico. The Dutch-Cuban pianist Ramón Valle and his compatriot Yelsy Heredia add a subtle Cuban touch.
