Si preguntan por quién doblanAntonio Chacón

The god of flamenco, Don Antonio Chacón.

Born in 1869, he began performing as a cantaor around 1884.

From early on, his talent was formidable, and many cantaores disliked singing after him.

Flamenco has honorific titles, and Antonio Chacón bore the honorific “Don.” This is the same as the Japanese “Don” and is bestowed on cantaores of exceptionally high ability.

In the long history of flamenco, he is the only one to have earned this title.

As this background suggests, his vocal prowess was on another level.

Even artists like Diego El Cigala and Buika likely cannot match his pure vocal ability.

Recordings of him are rare and precious, so be sure to check them out!

Even today, Spain retains strong socialist characteristics.

As a result, there is a great deal of art that is anti-establishment or focuses on social issues.

Among these, hip-hop is a genre where such traits are especially pronounced.

Rafael Lekowski, who performs “Por amor al odio,” is a socially conscious rapper who represents Spain’s hip-hop scene.

He is an immigrant from Poland and spent his childhood in poverty.

The way he channels that background into his music has earned him tremendous support from Spain’s impoverished communities who struggle with poverty.
