Carmen Linares

Carmen Pacheco Rodríguez, born in Linares (Jaén) in 1951, is without doubt a fundamental pillar of all current flamenco singing, she masters a vast repertoire of flamenco styles due to her long experience. Her enormous versatility has allowed her to take part in zarzuelas (a Spanish form of musical drama), plays and several projects involving classical musicians and musicans from the world of jazz. Out of her works, the recording of an anthology of female flamenco singing is the one which stands out.

Fernando's Kitchen

I don't know much about Fernando's Kitchen, but I do know that I saw them busking on the London Underground on a Friday night on the way home and they were pretty good, with a crowd gathering to listen and miss a train or two. When busking I heard them with two artists, one guitar and one percussion but the album has what sounds like a clarinet and a bass player to boot. Their site can be seen here: http://fernandoskitchen.co.uk/

Gaby Moreno

Gaby Moreno’s new album, Illustrated Songs, continues her love affair with the sounds of the blues, soul and jazz that captivated her as a girl. Although she was born and raised in Guatemala, it was the sounds of the American South that inspired her to become a songwriter and recording artist. “I heard an African American woman singing on the street in New York City when I was younger. I just froze. When I asked her what she called that music, she looked at me and said, ‘That’s the blues, honey.’”
