Valencia (20.4.25). The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía welcomes for the first time the renowned flamenco singer El Pele, one of the great exponents of the genre, within the 'Les Arts és Flamenco' cycle on April 24, at 7.30 a.m., in the Teatre Martín i Soler.
Manuel Moreno Maya 'El Pele' was born in 1954 into a humble family in Córdoba. At just 15 years old, he received his first award, which launched a rising career that has made him one of the most important and prestigious flamenco singers, renowned for his authenticity, knowledge, and musical intuition.
He has shared the stage with internationally renowned artists such as David Bowie and Prince; he was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for his album 'Canto' and has received numerous awards throughout his brilliant artistic career.
El Pele, “tireless, a fighter and an innovator of flamenco”, demonstrates in each of his concerts the wisdom, respect and passion he feels for flamenco, to which he gives an undeniable personality, purity and unique expressiveness.
During his visit to Les Arts, the Cordoban artist will be accompanied by José Moreno and Edu Gómez on palmas (handclapping) and by guitarist Niño Seve, who has played alongside the most recognized voices of the genre.
'Les Arts és Flamenco' brings together great artists from the flamenco scene in each edition, allowing the public to learn about its different variations of the genre and enjoy one of the most important hallmarks of Spanish culture.
The young flamenco singer Reyes Carrasco, the new revelation of flamenco singing, will star in the last session of the cycle on May 23, in which she presents 'Pastora en mi memoria', a tribute to Pastora María Pavón Cruz, La Niña de los Peines.
Les Arts reminds everyone that tickets for this series can be purchased through the theater's various sales channels: box offices, the sales line 96 197 59 00 and its website .
