Quejío,Un monumento al cante - Pepe Marchena
Pepe de Marchena was perhaps the man responsable for fandango and other similar style's dominance during the Flamenco Opera period. With the goal of making soft and sweet cante, Pepe Marchena made it an artificial creation. He imposed the cante bonito out of gorgoritos, falsetas and filigranas; he introduced recitals in the cante; and he came up with musical hybrids, this was a trully innovative...
