YERAI CORTÉS

Young, charismatic and unstoppable, Yerai Cortés is an innovator of twenty-first-century flamenco. Armed only with his guitar and boundless creativity, the Alicante artist has won Goya Awards and earned a Latin Grammy Awards nomination with his debut album, La guitarra flamenca de Yerai Cortés. His second album, Popular, is a proposal that is as radically personal as it is hypnotic: six strings and six women singing and clapping palmas. It is pure magic, indeed. A flamenco kaleidoscope travelling through verdiales, zambras, farrucas, tarantas and rumbas, revealing the artist’s vast musical culture. Rooted flamenco with the rhythms of the present.
