Biography

Diego RamÃ³n JimÃ©nez Salazar (born in Madrid on December 27, 1968), also known as Diego El Cigala, is a Spanish flamenco singer of Romani and Andalusian origins. He started singing in peÃ±as and tablaos at a very young age, earning the nickname âEl Cigalaâ (The Cicada) due to the power of his voice. Undebel (1997), his studio debut, was produced by David Amaya and featured legendary flamenco guitarists Tomatito and Paquete. El Cigala collaborated with producer Javier LimÃ³n on Entre vareta y canasta (2000) and Corren tiempos de alegrÃa (2001), which featured jazz musicians Bebo ValdÃ©s and Jerry GonzÃ¡lez. The latter received a nomination for Best Flamenco Album at the Latin Grammys that year. The singer teamed up once again with Bebo ValdÃ©s for the award-winning LÃ¡grimas Negras (2003), a huge commercial success that masterfully blended flamenco and latin jazz. The LP was named Album of the Year by The New York Times and won several awards, most notably a Grammy in the Best Tropical Album of the Year category in 2004. Conceived as a tribute to the late Spanish painter, Picasso en mis ojos (2005) signaled El Cigalaâs return to flamenco. Featuring the guitars of Paco de LucÃa and Tomatito, it was certified gold in Spain and Venezuela and won the Best Flamenco Album award at the Latin Grammys. At the turn of the decade, the cantaor released Cigala &Tango (2010) and Romance de la luna tucumana (2013), which reinterpreted songs of the Argentine repertoire through his unique lens. El Cigalaâs infatuation with Latin music continued with the salsa-inspired Indestructible (2016) and Cigala canta a MÃ©xico (2020), an album of boleros and rancheras.
