Pepe de Joaquina and Pepe del Morao

Two stars of the Jerez flamenco scene joined us in July.   Flamenco singer Pepe de Joaquina ‘El Faraón’ presented his new CD ‘Orgullo de Faraón’, exploring his roots in flamenco tradition.  He was accompanied by the famous guitarist Pepe del Morao (grandson of the legendary guitarist Manuel Morao and nephew of the late-great Moraíto Chico).   Pepe sang a superb soleá de alcalá and other flamenco gems.  They were joined by up and coming dancer Alba Heredia Villalobos, singer Jasmine Villalobos and guitarist Tito Heredia.  It was  great evening and received extensive coverage in the Diario de Jerez newspaper and other Spanish media.
