Description
Manuel Rey, lecturer, historian and performer of the copla, Manuel Rey has been researching this musical genre for more than 20 years. In the course of these investigations, he has been able to discover the original scores and make surprising discoveries: the poetry of some beautiful lyrics written by poets of the stature of Rafael de León, Quintero or Ramón Perelló -often later adulterated by official censorship to eliminate the more sensual and heterodox contents-, as well as the beauty of the music composed by musicians of the stature of the Masters Quiroga, Mostazo, Ochaíta or Solano. He has also paid his attention, of course, to more current composers and singers such as the great and unforgettable Carlos Cano. Manuel Rey's performances, always entertaining as well as edifying, are marked by his erudition, his unique and careful wardrobe, and his heartfelt and exciting performances.
