VICENTE SOTO "SORDERA" & LELA SOTO
Antonio Malena, Vicente Santiago (guitars)Manuel Blanco, Ángel Peña (palmas and jaleos)
The stage of the Teatre Martín
i Soler brings together the acclaimed artist from the Jerez
district of Santiago, Vicente Soto 'Sordera', with
his daughter Lela Soto, for a family flamenco
evening. Vicente, a descendant of an endless line of singers, has
spread his family’s art across the five continents on a multitude
of tours, on stages such as La Scala in Milan or the Theatre des
Nations in Paris, and through collaborations with artists such as
Antonio Ruiz “El Bailarín”, Manuela Vargas and Antonio Gades. His
daughter Lela, considered “a 21st Century cantaora” who
anticipates the flamenco of tomorrow, has gone from a young promise
to an established artist in a short time. The legacy of Los Sordera
is in her blood (her grandfather Manuel, her father Vicente and her
mother, the dancer Luisa Heredia). She has enriched it with more
modern contributions. Her voice has caught the attention of artists
such as Alejandro Sanz, Pitingo and Niña Pastori, who have
performed with her on tours and recordings.
