Caminero Trío & David Carpio – Al Cante

The three pillars of flamenco are dance, song, and guitar. In his album Al toque (Karonte, 2021), Caminero explored flamenco guitar from a unique perspective, reinterpreting major works for his trio featuring Moisés Sánchez on piano and Paquito González on percussion. Now, with Al cante, he seeks to integrate the Jerez-born voice of David Carpio into his jazz- flamenco repertoire.

This new project leverages the modular structure of flamenco—often alternating between cante, rhythm, and falsetas—to blend the trio’s melodies and solos with David’s powerful voice. Together, they explore new ways for a jazz-flamenco trio and a cantaor to coexist musically.

After more than a decade performing with master guitarist Gerardo Núñez, Caminero has become a regular figure in the flamenco world. Along the way, he met David Carpio, with whom he had previously collaborated on the show Solos and several tracks from the album Con la voz en la tierra (2019). It was only a matter of time before they reunited for a project like this— one that presents both musical and stylistic challenges, where pieces from seemingly different worlds find common ground and create a seamless, natural sound.

Caminero’s jazz trio is currently composed of Daniel García Diego on piano and Shayan Fathi on drums, musicians with a deep understanding of jazz- flamenco. Thanks to their experience, the trio supports David’s voice without the need for a guitar—that symbolic “home” so central to flamenco.

Al cante is both a jazz-flamenco concert and a cante recital, offering a one- of-a-kind experience that bridges both worlds.

In March 2023, he was invited by the prestigious NDR Big Band in Hamburg to perform with his trio a selection of his flamenco-jazz compositions, arranged by Geir Lysne, the band’s artistic director.

DAVID CARPIO BIOGRAPHY

David Carpio (Jerez de la Frontera). Va sentir la crida del cante des de ben menut, acostant-se a mestres del ball com Cristóbal “El Jerezano”, “Chiqui” de Jerez o Carmen Mota, qui van contribuir inicialment al seu desenvolupament com a cantaor, molt abans d’iniciar la seua trajectòria professional, que començaria posteriorment amb la companyia d’Antonio “El Pipa”.

L’any 2008 va participar en el disc col·lectiu La Nueva Frontera del Cante de Jerez, al costat d’una llarga llista de joves cantaores de la localitat. En 2012, coincidint amb el XVII Festival de Jerez, va rebre el Premi al Millor Cante d’Acompanyament al Ball.

En 2015 va presentar al Festival de Jerez l’espectacle Solos, la seua primera proposta artística en solitari, acompanyat per Manuel Valencia i Manuel Liñán.

El cantaor jerezà compta amb dos discos publicats: Mi verdad (2014), enregistrat en directe al Palacio de Villavicencio de Jerez dins del Festival de Jerez de 2013; i Con la voz en la tierra (2019), disc d’estudi amb producció musical del guitarrista Santiago Lara.

Ha participat en festivals de gran rellevància: Festival de Jerez, Reunión de Cante de la Puebla de Cazalla, Festival de La Unión, Festival de la Serrana, Festival de Casabermeja, El Arranque Roteño, Fiesta de la Bulería, entre d’altres.

Ha format part del repartiment de companyies de grans figures com Manuel Liñán i Isabel Bayón, així com d’altres ballarins i companyies reconegudes com Mercedes Ruiz o el Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, amb el qual va treballar durant diversos anys sota la direcció de Cristina Hoyos.

El juny de 2021 va debutar com a director musical i artístic de la gala inaugural del I Festival de Cine Flamenco y Etnográfico celebrat a Jerez, amb un muntatge protagonitzat per Felipa del Moreno i La Reina Gitana.

David és un cantaor complet, de cante ranci, forjat a La Plazuela, cosa que el converteix en un artista diferent, que fa ressonar en la seua gola tot Jerez i el seu barri de San Miguel.
