<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The event for the official presentation of his last album ‘Se llama flamenco<\/i>‘ (El Flamenco Vive<\/i>, 2016) in Jerez was quite a happening, having sold out. The\u00a0Sala Pa\u00fal<\/i>\u00a0venue in his hometown was not big enough to fit all the aficionados who follow and admire Jos\u00e9 Carpio Fern\u00e1ndez ‘Mijita’. The youngest of this renowned family of\u00a0cante<\/i>, from La Plazuela neighborhood in Jerez, has been working hard since he was a child to make a name for himself as a\u00a0cantaor<\/i>, and he\u2019s succeeding, although he acknowledges it\u2019s \u201cnot easy, because I can only get ahead little by little, without much help\u201d, although he feels the \u201cwarmth of my public\u201d, stating without hesitation that \u201cI feel much loved in my hometown\u201d. That album earned a nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Flamenco Music Album category, something that \u201csurprised me and greatly encouraged me to continue working hard each day\u201d.<\/p>\n
That was his second solo album, after the release of ‘La Plazuela en estado puro<\/i>‘ (La Bodega Flamenco<\/i>, 2014), \u201cwhich was an adventure and also very well liked, as I could see when I premiered it in a live performance in the\u00a0Claustros de Santo Domingo<\/i>\u00a0venue, where I was joined by Capullo de Jerez, Carmen Herrera and my father Mijita\u201d. With his father and brother Alonso, he also produced an album titled ‘Estirpe, de pare a hijo<\/i>‘ (La Bodega Flamenco<\/i>, 2015), which was taken to the stage of the Villamarta theater, with Miguel Poveda as special guest. That was not the first time when Jos\u00e9 joined other colleagues in a recording studio, as in 2008 he had collaborated in ‘Nueva Frontera del Cante de Jerez<\/i>\u2019, sponsored by the BBK savings bank, where he had already revealed his special charisma.<\/p>\n
In these last few months \u201cI haven\u2019t had a break\u201d. Since his performance at the Villamarta theater with\u00a0Pe\u00f1a La Buler\u00eda<\/i>\u00a0(the last performance of 2017), this\u00a0cantaor<\/i>\u00a0has performed in the stages of cities such as Motril, Ronda and M\u00e1laga (where he performed with Rancapio Chico and Juan Villar), has taken part in the courses offered at the Festival de Jerez and he\u2019s already planning his summer\u2019s schedule. \u201cI\u2019m still finalizing some contracts and I don\u2019t want to say anything, because things aren\u2019t firm yet, but it\u2019s looking good, there are several promising festivals ahead and I\u2019m always thankful for the trust people have in me\u201d, he said. One performance that is confirmed is the one at the Festival ‘Jerez, Gran Reserva’ in honor of Pansequito, which will take place on July 7 at Jerez\u2019s\u00a0Plaza de Toros<\/i>. Being present at this festival is particularly special for me. It\u2019s only its second edition, but it\u2019s already renowned among flamenco aficionados. Jos\u00e9 defines \u201cT\u00edo Panseco\u201d as a \u201cgreat innovator, a defender of purity and a great artist\u201d. Definitely, \u201ca god of flamenco\u201d.<\/p>\n
That evening he\u2019ll be sharing the stage with the artist being honored, as well as with Aurora Vargas, Rancapino Chico, Pedro ‘El Grana\u00edno’, the Pa\u00f1ero brothers, Luis Moneo, Lela Soto ‘Sordera’, Mar\u00eda Terremoto and the band ‘Con el baile en la memoria’, with Diego de la Margara, Manuela Carpio and Gema Moneo, among others. The tickets are on sale at tickentradas.com and at Malam\u00fasica, in Jerez, and they are selling fast, considering that the seats in the inner circle are numbered.<\/p>\n
