Diego “El Cigala” Presents Cigala & Tango 

Nicknamed “El Cigala” (Norway Lobster) for his thin frame and strong voice, Diego is an internationally renowned Gitano flamenco singer and one of contemporary flamenco’s most compelling voices.  He is making a rare visit to the United States this season to perform at Michigan Theater on November 5th. His mother and father were both accomplished practitioners of flamenco, as were his grandparents.

He is noted for being a pioneer in fusing flamenco with other Latin American music forms such as the bolero, Afro-Caribbean jazz, and tango.  His latest project, Cigala & Tango, is the musical testimony to his concert at the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires in April 2010.
