A superstar in her native Spain with a growing international
reputation, vocalist Estrella Morente is part of a true flamenco
dynasty. Her father, uncles, and grandfather were all famed musicians,
and Morente has been celebrated at home and abroad for her fresh and
beautifully assured approach to flamenco and popular Spanish songs in
the Andalusian tradition. American audiences heard her stirring voice
on the soundtrack of Pedro Almodóvar's film Volver, but to see her
live is a rare treat: Morente's concerts combine the intense rhythms
and moody melodies of her homeland with a distinctively modern vocal
fire, always accompanied by the world's most dazzling flamenco
guitarists.
