José Mercé – Sings to Manuel Alejandro

José Mercé – Sings to Manuel Alejandro

April 10, 9:00 PM.
VÉLEZ-MÁLAGA – Teatro Lope de Vega

In this performance, the Jerez-born flamenco singer pays tribute to one of his most universal fellow countrymen, Manuel Alejandro, by reinterpreting some of his most iconic songs and adapting them to various flamenco styles. It's a dialogue between melodic song and deep flamenco singing that transforms unforgettable classics into a new, profound, and surprising experience.

On stage, Mercé will be accompanied by his usual ensemble: two flamenco guitars, three clappers, and flamenco percussion, joined by an acoustic piano and double bass, bringing a renewed and elegant sound to a repertoire that forms part of the collective memory of several generations.

With 18 albums released since 1968, José Mercé has managed to maintain the pure essence of flamenco while opening it up to new audiences, interpreting and engaging with artists from various genres. His historic success with "Del amanecer" marked a before and after in contemporary flamenco, establishing him as the artist who brought flamenco singing to unprecedented popularity levels, surpassing one million records sold and receiving the Diamond Record, an achievement never before reached by a flamenco singer. A great-grandson of Paco Luz and nephew of Manuel Soto “Sordera,” patriarch of Jerez flamenco, José Mercé represents both heritage and avant-garde. A Medal of Andalusia recipient and an indisputable reference in the genre, he has shown that flamenco can move audiences of all ages without losing authenticity.
