Artists 2010 – Poesía flamenca

María Eloy-García

Spoken word poet María Eloy-García (*1972, Málaga , Spain) studied geography and history. She made a name for herself on the poetry scene by taking part in various slams. Eloy-García defies the usual expectations in her poetry. She initially adopts current perceptions, influences and customs only to contradict them later with her idiosyncratic language. Sometimes ironically, sometimes surreally, she describes human behaviour in everyday situations: on the bus, in the queue, in the lift.María Eloy-García has collaborated on journals such as “Litoral”, “El maquinista de la generación” and “Fósforo”.She won the Carmen Conde prize in 2001.

Curro Piñana

Curro Piñana (*1974, Cartagena, Spain) is the stage name of Francisco Javier Piñana. Piñana learned flamenco singing, and in particular “cantes mineros” (songs that need to be sung with particular precision and depth), from his grandfather. A Flamenco aficionado, Piñana is not only a “cantaor” (a Flamenco singer) but also one of the great teachers of this art form; he teaches, for example, at the Cartagena Conservatory and at San Pablo University in Madrid. His songs are based on traditional verse. Working with his brother Carlos Piñana, for example, he put to music a few poems by Ibn Arabi, of the great mystical poets of the 12th century. Piñana also mixes together a wide variety of musical styles in his work. He won the Mejor Embajador de Cartagena prize in 2005 and the Flamenco Activo – Ciudad de Úbeda prize in 2006.
