Vicente Soto "Sordera" once again attempts to renew flamenco from within.

The new album ‘eStar Alegre’ focuses on alegrías, bulerías and tangos, the most extroverted side of flamenco. And he manages to keep up the “happy” tone without reverting to banalities, either in the expression, or in the arrangements, or in the instrumentation of the album.

This project feeds on the freshness and new ideas contributed by the great musicians who have taken part in the record, such as Moraíto, Manuel Parrilla, Diego del Morao, Juañares and Tomasito.

It is an indispensable record for all flamencos, and for those who are looking to fall under the spell of Flamenco. It is a work that breaks moulds without breaking away from tradition.

All the songs on the album - except ‘Pa vestir santos’ by José María Molero - have been written by Vicente Soto, who together with Josete Ordóñez, has also taken care of the production.
