Enrique Morente

Enrique Morente

Enrique Morente has been played on NTS in shows including Unsound 2016, featured first on 23 October 2016. Songs played include Yo Escucho Los Cantos, Aunque Es De Noche (Tango) and A La Hora De La Muerte (Tangos).

Enrique Morente Cotelo (25 December 1942 – 13 December 2010), known as Enrique Morente, was a flamenco singer (in Spanish, cantaor) and a controversial figure within the world of contemporary flamenco. After his orthodox beginnings, he plunged into experimentalism, writing new melodies for cante (flamenco singing) and jamming with musicians of all styles, without renouncing his roots in traditional flamenco singing, which he kept on cultivating.[1][2] In spite of severe criticism from the most "purist" amongst the critics and public,[2] he was perhaps the most influential contemporary flamenco singer, who not only innovated, but it could also be said that he created tradition: some of his cantes have been performed by other singers such as Camarón de la Isla, Mayte Martín, Carmen Linares, Miguel Poveda, Segundo Falcón and Arcángel. He also is the father of flamenco singer Estrella Morente. The posthumously published volume of Leonard Cohen's poems, The Flame, includes "Homage to Morente." (pp. 30–31)[4]
