MARÍA TOLEDO

Vicente


MARÍA TOLEDO

María Toledo, the first woman in the history of flamenco to sing while accompanying herself on the piano, will present Vicente; her seventh album and the most special project of her career.
This gift in the form of a record is a celebration of eternal life, a birthday present that Maria Toledo gave her son, called Vicente like his grandfather, on his first birthday. Vicente is a record entirely composed for and dedicated to her first child, based on a concept of piano and flamenco in which María Toledo only accompanies her voice with the sound of the piano and the clapping of her hands.
From the celebration of bulerías, tangos and alegrías, to the intimacy of the soleá and the petenera, passing through songs such as the liviana, serrana, macho and remate of María Borrico and the sevillanas, she goes over lyrics composed with the emotion of motherhood for her son Vicente, the reason for her existence.
"Feeding you and listening to you breathe is the inspiration of my life and the most beautiful thing I have ever felt. I love you, my son. Happy Birthday!"
María Toledo, an icon of present-day flamenco has performed at major venues worldwide such as the Konzerthaus in Berlín, the Barbican in London, the National Auditorium for Music in Madrid, the Philharmonie in París, the Opera in Florence, Glasgow City Halls in Glasgow and the Auditorium Rainier III in Montecarlo.
