Mi Riqueza Son Tus Besos - Music

Juan Rafael Cortés Santiago Known As Duquende Born Sabadell 1965 . For A Long Time He Has Been Considered One Of Camarón De La Isla's Best Successors. In Fact It Was The Legendary Cantaor Who "initiated" Him By Inviting Duquende To Sing When He Was Only Nine Years Old As Camarón Himself Accompanied Him On Guitar. Although In His Artistic Trajectory He Has Already Shown That There Is Plenty More To Him Than Being A Mere Copy-Cat And That He May Be Even More Than A Successor This Cantaor Never Denies His Admiration For The One From The Island Or For Pure Traditional Singing Which He Masters Comfortably. For Twenty Years Duquende Was Cutting His Teeth On Small Stages And In Small Flamenco Enthusiasts' Clubs Peñas Where His Voice Matured And His Singing Gained In Mastery And Technique. In 1997 Paco De Lucía Called Him In Person To Substitute His Brother Pepe In The Septeto Paco De Lucía Paco De Lucía Septet With Which He Had The Opportunity To Travel The World And To Improve Considerably. Without Leaving The Septet Duquende Has Managed To Record His Album "Samaruco" 2000 In Which He Confirmed The Reputation That He Had Already Earned Before Recording Anything. Among His Greatest Achievements Is That Of Having Been The First Cantaor Who Has Been Invited To Give A Performance In The Champs Elysées Theatre In Paris 1995 . He Has Worked With Artists Like Tomatito Manzanita Juan Carmona Juan Manuel Cañizares Juan Habichuela Moraíto Chico And Vicente Amigo. Http //www.Duquende.Org/ read less
