You would call ESTRELLA MORENTE a natural if she didn't belong to a top flamenco family. This 20-year-old is wise beyond her years, a passionate and creative virtuoso, her youth showing in light vocal colours and a throat still unbattered by life's inhalations. Her singing compels attention with beauty and flair.
Most of the material is traditional, arranged by her father Enrique Morente with fiery guitar in support. There's a lyrical setting of a modern poem, a song of Estrella's own in sevillana style and a couple of discreetly percussive updatings.
