José Mercé at Teatro de la Zarzuela
The singer from Jerez will go over his greatest hits at Teatro de la Zarzuela at 26th October 2009.He is one of the great names in flamenco. A true native of Jerez despite moving to Madrid at a young age, he has been one of the great flamenco singers for some time. In fact, this decade he has become one of the best-selling flamenco singers.
José Mercé is bringing his magic to Teatro de la Zarzuela. The award-winning flamenco singer is introducing the songs from his new album, 'Ruido'. Songs like 'Contigo, Fe' and 'Que Venga Ella', among others, are sentimental ballads with a decidedly flamenco feel and carefully chosen verses. This time there will be no controversy.
In some contemporary alegrías he achieves the difficult task of retaining the flavour of this flamenco style. There is another instrumental piece, by guitarist Dani de Morón with vocal support in bulerías. The song 'Ruido', which lends its title to the album, is a silky bulería that retains the flamenco power that José Mercé controls perfectly.
Mercé's character is distinctly rooted in Cadiz, and he presents himself as a native artist who has been attracted to flamenco since he was born in Santiago de Jerez de la Frontera into the middle of the Soto family. He has become famous in current flamenco for his ability to reach all kinds of audiences without losing any of his essence or depth, and is a genius who has his own voice and can poetically recreate the most orthodox songs and covers.
He and his friends recorded an album when he was little more than a boy, and he soon became famous. He has sung for Antonio Gades's company, taken part in Carlos Saura's film 'Bodas de Sangre', worked with Ballet Nacional and won the 1986 Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco in Cordoba. He then disappeared from the public eye until he was artistically revived by Vicente Amigo, 12 years after his previous performance. Vicente also produced his first professional album.
