CARMELILLA MONTOYA is a singer and dancer who flaunt the flamenco art of Triana. She now pays
tribute to the artists which she has collaborated with along her career, with this new project called
“Homenaje” (“Homage”); a record that features guest collaborations from some of the greatest
flamenco artists today.
The youngest from the Montoya family was witness of an era where singing and dancing within the
family was the only school where kids learn the art of flamenco. Brought up in a utterly artistic
environment, she soon started performing with Montoya Family, including Camarón de la Isla and Pata
Negra with whom she toured the world, doing her bit to consolidate these myths in the history of
flamenco.
Later on she would embark on her solo career, playing the leading role as dancer and singer in different
flamenco shows and plays as important as Antonio Canales’ Amantes, Los Tarantos, Montoyas, Gitanas,
Fedra... She also collaborated in some important flamenco recordings such as Triana and Montoya en
Familia.
“Homenaje” is the subtle new project which she has now embarked on, to combine deep feelings and
moments of joy under a modern concept but swearing an oath of loyalty to the established flamenco
patterns from her origin: bulerías, tangos, seguirillas, soleá, tanguillos, etc…
The tone of her voice gives off a sweetness that perfectly
harmonizes with every guest artist’s style. Her duet with
Remedios Amaya leads to a graceful and powerful bulería;
so does with La Tana’s soleá; Raimundo Amador strokes
some tanguillos with his electric guitar; her more‐than‐aduet,
a duel of silhouettes with Miguel Poveda; her bulería
al golpe with Alba Molina, dedicated to Manuel Molina,
etc.
