Eduardo López performs at Teatro Flamenco Málaga
This young flamenco singer from Málaga has been passionate about flamenco singing since childhood.
At Teatro Flamenco Málaga, the city’s hottest new flamenco show, we are proud to welcome the flamenco singer, Eduardo López, to perform in our daily, live flamenco show, Essence, a show in which pure flamenco blends with passion and emotion, transcending borders and breaking down barriers to excite audiences from all over the world.
Eduardo López is a Málaga-born flamenco singer in English. He began to sing in the flamenco clubs and associations when he was 12, but his beginnings as a flamenco artist came from the Peña Niño Vélez. When he was 18 years old he began to take part in presentations in different areas of Andalucía at the same time as he worked as a flamenco singer with Sandra Cisneros and Rubén Portillo. In 2013, when he was 23 he performed at the II Lyon Flamenco Festival. His passion for flamenco from such a young age is inspired by his grandfather’s collection of the great maestros of the golden age of flamenco, listening to influential artists such as Pepe Marchena, Porrina de Badajoz or Antonio Mairena.
During his teenage years he began to travel regularly to the different flamenco associations in the area, making contact with a variety of flamenco artists of the province of Málaga. During this initial stage in his career he began to sing “para atrás”, which can be translated as “singing at the back” and refers to the flamenco singers accompanying the dancers rather than singing solo. He performed in various flamenco associations in provinces all over Andalucía accompanying artists such as Arturo Ruiz, Rubén Portillo, Antonio Guerra, Miguel A. Fernández, Curro Almáchar, amongst others.
Eduardo López: professional career as a flamenco singer
Following his performance at the II Lyon Flamenco Festival, Eduardo López spent three years singing in different presentations in flamenco companies and festivals. During his tour of the flamenco associations he coincided on stage with a variety of well-established flamenco artists such as La Macanita, Mayte Martín, Manuel Parrilla, Pedro Sierra and Antonio de Canillas.
The flamenco artist, Carmen Mota, contacted Eduardo and asked him to join her dance company and he spent almost 8 years in this group, settling in Tenerife where he performed daily in the Arona Pyramid Auditorium, reaching 2,400 performances in the 2,400 seat-capacity venue.
Between 2018 and 2020 he worked as a teacher accompanying flamenco singers in the Conservatory of Professional Dance “Kina Jiménez” in Almería.
He participated in the programme of events paying homage to Calixto Sánchez, organised by the Federation of Flamenco Associations of Seville. During the summer of 2020 he was awarded a place at the Fundación Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco, which allowed him to take classes from some of the best flamenco artists, José de la Tomasa, Juan José Amador, Choro Molina, Milagros Mengíbar and Paco Cortés, amongst others. He won this honour by reaching the final round in the competition, Flamenco Talent 2020, in the “Naranjito de Triana” singing category where he had to compete with 9 other singers from different parts of Spain. The final stage of this competition had two semi-finals with 10 participants. In September 2021 he took part, together with a large group of artists from the Fundación Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco, directed by Luisa Palicio, in the flamenco programme, Flamenco Viene Del Sur, in the Teatro Central in Seville. Flamenco Viene del Sur, or as it is known in English, Flamenco Comes From The South, is a season of flamenco performances organised by the Andalusian government, touring the Andalusian territory. It began in 1996 with the idea to enhance the value of flamenco.
This up-and-coming flamenco artist from Malaga, despite his young age, has a huge talent and a lot of experience in flamenco singing. He is currently presenting shows all over Spain, some of his performances are still held in the flamenco associations without losing their original essence.
