Music from Spain

New musical talent from Spain: Vetusta Morla, Bigott, Fuel Fandango, Zenet, El Nino de Elche, Iseo, and Zahara.

Presenter Rafael Estefania finds out how new Spanish artists are taking the country’s traditions, such as Flamenco, into the future. He discovers how Spanish bands are positioning themselves vis-a-vis the flood of popular music from the US and Britain, which dominates the Spanish charts.

Featuring artists - Vetusta Morla, arguably Spain’s biggest indie band; Bigott, an eccentric innovator, known for his zany English lyrics; Fuel Fandango, Electronic-Flamenco duo making waves beyond Spain; El Nino de Elche, classical Flamenco singer taking the genre in new experimental directions; Zenet, old-style crooner bringing latin romance to new audiences; Iseo, very new singer songwriter and definitely one to watch; Zahara, after a big hit with Universal, this independent minded artist has left the commercial mainstream and is going it alone.
