Ángeles Toledano en Concierto

Synopsis

Ángeles Toledano (Jaén, 1995) is a promising voice in contemporary flamenco, with years of singing experience despite her youth. Her prominence in the genre brings flamenco into the present, supported by her sensitivity, experience, and recognition.

Currently, the singer is working on her first album with guitarist Benito Bernal (Huelva, 1998), who will also accompany her in this concert.

In this performance, the singer and the guitarist will present a mano a mano recital. Having worked together for years, their connection and mutual understanding of flamenco are evident on stage. This stripped-down presentation will elevate their basic elements —cante and toque— giving ample space to showcase the full talent of both performers to the audience.
