Exactly 100 years later, Madrid's Teatro Pavón and the Regional Government of Andalusia have revived the legendary Copa Pavón. A legendary competition that was held only twice, in 1925 and 1926, when Manuel Vallejo and Manuel Centeno won the award.
Under the artistic direction of Juan Valderrama, the event was conceived as a tribute to flamenco singer Mayte Martín, who appeared with her guitarist José Gálvez. It was a fitting moment to revive this podcast on our new website, which was originally created to honor her 2022 Fine Arts Medal.
Program synopsis:
I propose a sound review of some of the singer's discographic milestones. Starting with the Vidalita, with Juan Ramón Caro on guitar, from his album Querencia as a welcome to give way to a Cartagena, live, from the 27th International Festival of the Mines of La Unión. A performance that earned him, along with others cantes, to win the Lámpara Minera award in 1987 with guitarist Antonio Fernández. From his first album, Muy frágil (On the Rocks label, 1994), some joys accompanied by Chicuelo's six strings to return to their celebrated album Querencia (Virgin, 2000) which includes a hit: the bulerías adaptation of Ten cuidao by maestro Solano and Rafael de León. He is accompanied by Juan Ramón Caro and the violin of Olvido Lanza. From 2009, I rescue the Composition By the small sea of the port from his album AlcantaraManuel for Nuevos Medios with José Luis Montón on guitar. Finally, a gloss on Niña de los Peines in the form of petenera from the referenced Querencia, again with Juan Ramón Caro.
