Diego El Cigala – May 6, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier LiveEvents April 30, 2015 4849 The Prince of Flamenco Diego El Cigala Directly from Spain Considered the greatest living flamenco singer, three time GRAMMY award winner Diego El Cigala continues to enthrall audiences in performances world-wide with his husky, radiant, passionate and deep lyricism. Worthy representative of his art, he proudly wears his Spanish gypsy heritage “full of passion, feirceness, searing toughness and disarming directness” (Guardian). Touted as “the Sinatra of flamenco”, Paco de Lucia described El Cigala as possessing “one of the most beautiful flamenco voices of our time, a voice of sweetness that flows over everything.” An occasion for Montreal to partake in the return of flamenco royalty. Not to be missed! Diego El Cigala is without doubt the best thing that has ever happened to flamenco in a long time. – Le Monde Opening Act: LUSITANIAE MUSICA & RAíZES DE COIMBRA (Montreal/Portugal) For tickets and information: placedesarts.com 514-842-2112 or 1-866-842-2112
