“Poem of Cante Jondo”

At the heart of this magical crossroads of the arts, Miguel Poveda—with his signature charisma and sincerity—breathes new life into the evocative texts of Federico García Lorca’s book “Poema del Cante Jondo”, alongside the great guitarist Jesús Guerrero.

This project reveals a Miguel Poveda more cantaor than ever, masterfully interpreting the words of his admired Federico García Lorca, who so beautifully captured the essence of “duende.”

In every respect, the project embodies a meticulous fusion of the rich heritage of Cante Jondo and the profound poetry of Lorca, one of Spain’s most universal figures. The guitar of Jesús Guerrero, hailing from San Fernando, adds a unique dimension, offering a “flamenquísimo” accompaniment that is bound to captivate any flamenco aficionado.

The lyrical essence of Lorca, brought to life through the poet’s words and their inimitable voices, returns to the purest, most raw spirit of the Estío that witnessed its birth. This fusion of Lorca’s most telluric and flamenco-infused poetry with the expressive singing and guitar artistry of these two musicians creates an unparalleled experience where emotional intensity merges with Lorca’s deep reflections on the soul of flamenco.
