Search - Moraito Chico :: Morao Y Oro

Andalusia has its symbols: amongst them, mauve and gold. Mauve (morao) is the color of the Christ de los Gitanos and Holy Week. The color gold (oro) calls to mind the world of bullfighting, the sand in the arena, the costumes of the bullfighters, and the clothing of the Saints and Blessed Virgins. "Morao" is also the name of one of the oldest, most musical gypsy families in Jerez ? from which Moraíto himself is descended. With this CD Moraíto wished to evoke those two colors, which conjure up his own musical world. Native to Jerez, a real fief of Flamenco, Moraíto is one of the biggest guitarrista or tocaor solo in Flamenco. He succeeded in becoming as great in accompanying cante as he is unique in being a virtuoso soloist.
