Description

Born José Soto Soto, 1955 in neighborhood of Santiago Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Great-grandson of Francisco Valencia, that nineteenth-century seguiriya maestro who received the nickname Paco la Luz; nephew of Manuel Soto, Sordera, the patriarch of Jerez flamenco... his nick-name comes from his participation in the choir of the Basilica de la Merced when he was a boy. José Mercé is a flamenco cantaor (singer), and won the Córdoba National Competition in 1986. The youthful Mercé became one of the most sought-after singers for accompanying dance, and he has worked with the Trío Madrid, formed by Mario Maya, El Güito and Carmen Mora, and from 1973 to 1983, he joined the company of Antonio Gades, with which he travelled half-way around half the world and took part in the film Bodas de Sangre, by Carlos Saura. He has also worked with guitarists Enrique De Melchor, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo and Moraito. Gracias por su comentarios en mi imagen de ayer:
