Although based out of the Catalan capital of Barcelona, Spanish singer/songwriter Antonio Orozco is a pan-Latin renaissance man. A gifted guitarist in the technically demanding flamenco mode and more than comfortable relaxing inside the slow grooves of steamy pop ballads, Orozco also knows how to crank up the energy. A love for such regional genres as gypsy rumba spills over into his many spirited duets (Britain's Lucie Silvas and Spain's Malú are two favourite collaborators), and the clear imprint of Castilian tradition marks Orozco's raspy yet romantic vocals.
