Enrique Morente

La familia de Enrique Morente ha sido la encargada de comunicar la triste noticia del fallecimiento del cantaor. En un comunicado, en el que confirma la muerte del artista pasadas las cinco de la tarde de hoy, afirma que se marcha "un creador único y una persona maravillosa", que "deja un enorme vacío en nuestros corazones y en el de la música, a los que se dedicó por entero y con entrega a lo largo de toda su vida". Los familiares expresan "en estos momentos difíciles y de dolor", su "sincera gratitud hacia todas las personas que nos han trasladado su afecto y cariño"Ese quejío postrero se le coló de improvisto, como se inmiscuía la genialidad en su voz mientras improvisaba. Enrique Morente ha muerto. Se ha ido como uno de los versos que metió a compás. En un instante. El pasado viernes 3 de diciembre entró por su propio pie en la Clínica La Luz de Madrid aquejado de una hernia de hiato y, paradójicamente, allí ha conocido la oscuridad definitiva.
