Born into one of the most important dynasties of the flamenco guitar, Diego del Morao is the grand-nephew of Manuel Morao and son of Moraíto, guitarists who developed the signature sound of traditional Jerez-style flamenco guitar accompaniment. He is one of the most sought-after guitarists on today’s scene, recording and touring constantly with flamenco’s most well-known artists such as Diego el Cigala, Niña Pastori, and La Macanita and many more. Guitarists around the world track down every bit of his music and learn his original material, emulating his technique. Even Paco de Lucía made a cameo appearance on his recent solo release “Orate” (2010 Cigala Music). In his first Bay Area appearance, Diego del Morao plays a tribute concert to his father Manuel Moreno Junquera, the legendary “Moraíto,” one of flamenco’s most significanrt guitarists. Aficionados everywhere were shocked by Moraíto’s tragic death in August 2011 at only 54 years of age. Concert will feature a fin de fiesta with special guest artists including the fascinating singer Kina Mendez, niece of the legendary La Paquera de Jerez.
