I’ve been fortunate enough to meet some really interesting flamenco people online. Many of them are guitarists. On the other hand, Dominico Caro is an excellent singer, or cantaor as they say in Andalucía. Here’s his bio, which includes a link to a sound sample of him singing a siguiriya, one of the deepest flamenco forms. A powerful singer, full of feeling. ¡Olé!

Dominico Caro
Studied the art of flamenco singing in Madrid, Sevilla, and Jerez de la Frontera, learning his trade from the great masters such as Antonio Mairena, Fosforito, Fernanda de Utrera and the late Diego del Gastor. He has lived among the gypsies in Morón and Jerez and feels that this experience has been invaluable to his interpretation of cante flamenco.

Some highlights in Dominico’s career include touring with the legendary José Greco, Maria Benitez’s Estampa Flamenca, José Molina Bailes Españoles, Teo Morca, the role of Pepe in Julliard’s Production of “La Vida Breve”, Columbia Artists Concert Tours, and Cable television’s “Live from Atlantic City”, to name a few.

Dominico appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on two occasions and recently shared the spotlight with La Tati, Antonio Canales and Talegon de Córdoba.
