The title of this album is a clear statement of intent, as it attempts to combine the sobriety of cante de The Puebla de Cazalla with the feel of the Jerez guitar. It can be said that the Moorish singer, María Jesús Bernal, has found in Manuel Jero's playing an ideal channel for her expression. (The cover photograph is by Juan Luis Monge)
This album, which is not his first solo album as the narration states, was recorded in Studies La Bodega de Jerez (2026). It reflects a commitment to heritage and the most demanding repertoire of cante traditional of María Jesús Bernal, who seeks his singing discourse in the original sources.
With production and guitar by Manuel Jero, I suggest you listen to some initial tientos to introduce the soleá and the siguiriya, styles in which María Jesús interprets historical legacies of great masters. To conclude, as a final coda, the cante by bulerías seasoned by the rhythm of Jerez.
