DIEGO CIGALA TANGO LIVE IN REX by fawzikingEndorse a country a cultural purity is complicated. Very few have it, unless it has been isolated. In the case of Spain, neither can nor should be denied the Moorish influence. Likewise, in Latin America is undeniable Spanish culture. However, in the case of Flamenco, Arabic influence may have inherited the Andalusians, but what is certain and indisputable is the contribution Andalusian and Gypsy. And this issue is so complex that Gypsies alone can not vindicate the Flemish nor the Andalusians could do without the contribution Roma. Why ?. because for several reasons: Only the Spanish gypsies are identified with this art (The other latitudes are disconnected flamenco) and in the history of Flamenco in Andalusia, many of their players have been Gypsies. ..And regarding El Cigala, the great singer has gone much further. has taken flamenco, tango and compositions of great Latin American authors such as Mercedes Sosa and Carlos Gardel to the point that, like flamenco, he would not be what it is without this art, or whether dispense the tango.---Diego Ramón Jiménez Salazar (born 1968), known as El Cigala (Spanish for 'Norway Lobster', a crustacean popular in Spain), is a famous Spanish born- Dominican Flamenco singer.
