+====== Pitingo ======
+===== Biography =====
+Pitingo (real name: Antonio Alvarez Vélez) was born into a seafaring family in the city of Ayamonte in Huelva, [[Spain]], a region famed for giving birth to great [[flamenco]] artists. After studying locally, he moved to [[Madrid]] where he began performing in underground [[flamenco]] clubs, eventually ending up with a weekly showcase at the flamenco bar El Mago (The Magician), a regular haunt of [[flamenco]]'s greatest singing stars, such as [[Enrique Morente]] and [[Carmen Linares]]. He soon debuted at festivals and theatres across Spain and was signed to Universal Music.
+His first CD release, Pitingo con Habichuela, paired the singer with famed guitarist [[Pepe Habichuela]]. He quickly distinguished himself from other flamenco singers with his unique [[R&B]] and [[Gospel]] sensibility. The year 2008 saw the release of Pitingo's first major effort to merge flamenco with soul and gospel traditions, Soulería, the word-play of the title referring to the [[flamenco]] musical style [[bulería]]. The singer followed that release with 2011's Olé and Amén, which featured the London Community Gospel Choir.
+Pitingo's new release Malecón Street (named for the famous promenade) expands his soulful style to the streets of Old Havana with a collection of elegant and understated Cuban songs from decades past.
