July 5 Flamenco star Canelita live in concert in Lorca

One of the top current flamenco singers at the IFELOR venue in Lorca

Canelita, a native of Algeciras, has risen to become one of the most widely appreciated flamenco vocalists on the current Spanish music scene, a reputation forged not by any effort to attract publicity but by the support he has received of other renowned artists who appreciated his talent long ago.

His fame was sealed with the album Vuelvo in 2010, featuring traditional flamenco ballads and some pop melodies, and this led to international tours in France and Germany. He has consolidated his stardom since with songs such as Me Gusta, Siento and Intentaré Olvidarte, and in 2020 set up his own record company Canelita Music S.L.

Tickets for his concert at the IFELOR venue in Lorca, which starts at midnight on 5^th July (although the gates open an hour beforehand) are available online here at 25 euros although latecomers will be able to pay at the gate for 35 euros. Tickets can also be purchased at Café Bar Gallístico and at the box office of the IFELOR venue.
