Goodbye Terremoto
Just a few hours after publishing notification of the cancellation of Fernando Terremoto’s performance at the 2010 Jerez Festival, I learned from a French friend and flamenco lover that the famous flamenco singer from Jerez had passed away from a heart attack on February 13, 2010. He was only 40 years old.
Over 20 years ago, Fernando Fernández Pantoja, son of the also legendary Teremoto de Jerez, began his flamenco career as a guitarist, but debuted as a singer accompanied by the master guitarist Moraíto Chico at the Peña Don Antonio Chacón in Jerez in 1989.
Among the prizes Fernando won over the years, the most important include the first prize for singing in the Young Performers Contest at the IX Bienal de Flamenco in 1996 and the three National Prizes for Song (Manuel Torres for seguiriya and martinete; Niña de los Peines for soleá por bulería and bulería; and Antonio Chacón for malagueña and tarantos) awarded at the XV Concurso Nacional de Córdoba in 1998.
The flamenco singer Fernando Terremoto has canceled his performance at the XIV Jerez Festival on the 27th of February at the Bodega Los Apóstoles within the ‘Café Cantante’ cycle due to illness. Attendees can return their tickets between February 10th and March 27th during the usual hours of operation at the ticket window of the Villamarta Theatre.
Caja Madrid’s Social Work foundation has once again brought together the best singers, dancers and guitarists from the 15th to the 26th of February at the Circo Price and Casa Encendida venues in Madrid. This year, artists such as Enrique Morente, Enrique de Melchor and Diego el Cigala headline.
