Diego el Gavi Diego el Gavi a voz Flamenca em Portugal

🇬🇧
Diego El Gavi´’s life story is marked by its origins. Born in Lisbon, the singer moved with his family to Madrid, where he lived for a few years and had contact with the main characteristics of the Spanish soul, from the language to the flamenco culture. Already in his teens, he moved to Porto and became interested in the sound arts of his ethnic group, especially thanks to a Gipsy Kings cassette given by his mother. In 1987, together with their cousins, they formed the Les Gitanes project in which they made versions of flamenco songs. Returning to Lisbon, he discovers the genius of Camarón de la Isla and the whole tradition of flamenco that he personified, which motivated Diego to develop his original work. In 2019, he released his first album “Puerta del Alma” with the featurings of special guests such as Tatanka, Paulo de Carvalho and Ricardo Ribeiro. He performs live in a quintet with the musicians Victor Zamora, Carlos Mil-Homens, Léo Espinosa and Paulo Croft.
