Description
Gypsy Flamenco Guitar of the 21st CenturyDIEGO DEL MORAO
One of the most sought-after guitarists on today’s scene, he is known for his work with Spain’s top flamenco artists such as Diego el Cigala, José Mercé and Niña Pastori. Paco de Lucía made a cameo appearance on his recent solo release “Orate” (2010 Cigala Music). He is the son of the legendary guitarist “Moraíto,” who along with his uncle Manuel Morao, developed the signature sound of traditional Jerez-style flamenco guitar. Diego del Morao takes that legacy into the 21st century. In the words of veteran guitar legend Manolo Sanlúcar: “This is the vanguard, and at the same time our essence: past, present and future: he is a visionary”.
"Del Morao is special ...tenacious and extravagant". - The New York Times
