José Mercé, the undisputed master of flamenco cante jondo, returns
to Les Arts to present El Oripandó, the result of working closely
on conceptualisation, composition and production with Antonio
Orozco, who has distilled into the album two and a half years of
conversations and intimate exchanges with the Cadiz-born cantaor
and his family. It is a work of a markedly biographical nature that
conveys this intimate dialogue to the listener. It is life itself,
encapsulated in eight tracks with an unmistakable flamenco
substratum. Extensive progressive compositions, ballads and old
“forge songs” go hand-in-hand with rap, electronic figures
approaching rock and existential groans. Mercé shares the stage
with drums, bass, electric guitar, piano, keyboards and backing
singers to perform this work, as well as singing in some of the
purest flamenco styles.
