Brother of the great singer David de Jacoba, Carlos de Jacoba is a flamenco musician, guitarist and composer born in the Granada town of Motril. He started at the age of 16 and today, even though he is still very young, he is already being compared to the greatest musicians of the genre. Possessing a raspy voice, with an unmistakably gypsy rajo, he is the only flamenco guitarist who accompanies himself while singing.
When he sings, it is impossible not to have your soul shaken, sweet and at the same time painful, as fine as it is powerful. His playing combines tradition, knowledge and passion with modernity, freshness and romanticism, the result of the influences of great masters such as Camarón, Paco de Lucía and Pata Negra.
