The young flamenco singer Rocío Márquez draws flamenco, as she puts it, ‘out of the
museum’ and cuts right through the genres.
Rocío Márquez (Huelva, 1986) has been praised by the press and audiences for her sensitive interpretations of the classical flamenco repertoire. However, she is equally happy to use her melodious and clear voice to cut through the genres and draw flamenco, as she puts it, ‘out of the museum’. Her second solo album ‘El Niño’ (2014) is a provocative tribute to singer Pepe Marchena, who is now a classic, but was a revolutionary in his day. The old songs sit comfortably in the new world of rock, electronic music and improvisations of the ‘anarchic’ flamenco singer and songwriter Niño de Elche. From this emerge exciting 21st century flamenco interpretations of marvellous depth. Márquez is a singer who carves out her direction digging through tradition and who shows that classicism and avant-garde are complementary. With artists like Roció Márquez flamenco has a golden future.
Rocío Márquez is Artist in Residence of the Flamenco Biënnale 2017.
