Male flamenco singer |
| Name:Miguel Ángel Poveda León |
| Birth: 1973 Barcelona |
"The great majority (of persons) has not had any prejudice when it came to listening to me due to my being Catalan and payo (gypsy expression to refer to non-gypsies)".

Miguel Poveda started off in a powerful manner: he swept away the competition in the Festival Nacional del Cante de las Minas (National Mining Song Festival) in La Unión (Murcia) in 1993. He won four of the most important awards, among which was the most coveted, the Lámpara Minera. This feat, which had not been achieved by anyone since Antonio Fernández Díaz Fosforito in 1956, is all the more surprising considering that he is a Catalan and a payo, and that he has no artistic predecessors in his family. However, Miguel Poveda wasn't a beginner. He had already started singing in public, at least since 1988, mainly when he accompanied his sister, the bailaora Sonia Poveda.
After Las Minas, Miguel Poveda has not ceased to draw attention. Now, it is for the ability that he has developed in a short time. He is one of the talented young artists who are dedicated to orthodox, traditional singing, although he doesn't scorn innovative projects.
In spite of his youth, Miguel Poveda has already undertaken several tours of Europe, one tour of Japan, he has participated in the Festival of Culture and Arts in Ramallah (Palestine) and in the Edinburgh International Festival, as a guest artist in the theatre staging of "La Vida es un Sueño" by Calixto Bieito. His art has gone beyond the flamenco milieu: cinema director Bigas Luna showed his interest for him in his film "La Teta y la Luna" (1994), in which he was one of the protagonists. |
