"Tango", an operatic-flamenco luxury by Zapata, Mercé, Poveda and Vega

Junto a Mercé Zapata interpreta "Garganta de arena"

José Mercé

Sometimes, in life, you have to do what you really like, the things that make you happpy, for this reason the tenor from Granada, José Manuel Zapata (1973) didn't mind to wait two years and a half to record the music he loves, tango, near to luxury artists like Miguel Poveda, José Mercé or Pasión Vega.The tenor talks about the result of "Tango" (Sony), the CD has fourteen themes, most of them by Carlos Gardel and Le Pera, this disc will be available next Tuesday, on November 16."We will offer a show, on November 12., during the Jazz Festival of Madrid, at the Circo Price Theater, this will be the unique date. This will be an unique show."

Poveda

This is a "romantic" trip, accompanied by Mercé, Vega and Poveda. Each of them sings a theme of the repertoire, with Mercé "Garganta de arena", with Miguel Poveda "El corazón del sur", with Pasion Vega "Cuesta abajo"; with Rocio Marquez "Nostalgias", with Marina Heredia "Caminito" and with Angela Cervantes "El dia que me quieras". He admits that he renounced to his operatic voice because he thinks that tango is like a murmur, a whisper. He's very happy with the result, "it is something magic", he said.
