An authentic cantaor

Pura sangre, free-flowing, genuine expression, pure sincerity. Israel Fernández, a flamenco from birth, brought up in a gypsy family of Toledo, is a purebred of song since the age of 11 when he began to win television contests.

At this moment, with four commercial recordings, he is already a legendary figure of the genre who augurs an enormous future. His flamenco follows on from the grand transformation of a style where balancing tradition and modernity is no longer necessary: he himself is the result of a debate that has been creatively resolved.

Collaborating with El Guincho, the guitarrist Diego del Morao, with whom he comes to the Teatro de la Maestranza or Pional, a current day reference in electronic music, Israel Fernández charms large audiences and the recording industry alike. His album Amor won the Premio Odeón and he has also been nominated for Best Flamenco Album in the Latin Grammy awards.

This explosion of fame finds Israel Fernández living in his small town and going about his life, procuring that his music comes from the heart, which is the way he likes to sing. He puts his experience and sincerity first, and only afterwards, engages in the spontaneity of a live event. “I am humbly unpredictable” says Israel Fernández, equipped as a cantaor with the effervescent sparkle of the fiesta, and the song and singing amongst family.

Pura sangre, presented in the Teatro Real in July 2023, is his new album. Come and hear it for the supreme experience of a live concert. His authenticity and emotion will leave a mark on you in the same way as C. Tangana, Rosalía or Miguel Poveda.

Pura Sangre

The most personal work to date, this is an intimate look at his surroundings and his way of interacting with the outside world. It is a plea for truth, the most vital expression of an artist who has composed all the lyrics and music which make up this album. As always, he counts on one of the great masters of contemporary flamenco, guitarist Diego del Morao from Jerez.
