Rafa Tena emerges once again with his latest single, “Gitano soy.” It is a declaration of heritage, a fusion of tradition and modern artistry that draws listeners into the beating heart of flamenco while opening the doors to new territories. This flamenco bolero stands on the shoulders of an enormous tradition, yet carries the stamp of Tena’s artistry. His voice delivers every line with a sincerity that resonates far beyond the melody. The track becomes even more brilliant with the presence of Sandra Carrasco, one of the great female voices of the Spanish music scene.

Known for her versatility and her ability to move effortlessly between flamenco, jazz, classical, and contemporary genres, Carrasco lends “Gitano soy” a sense of elegance that only she can. Her refined and expressive vocals intertwine with Tena’s, creating a dialogue that is at once tender and powerful. The result is an artistic meeting point where tradition feels fresh. Adding further texture to this collaboration is the unmistakable touch of Josemi Carmona, whose pop-rock sensibilities enrich the piece with subtle modernity. His contribution adds a delicate frame, highlighting the emotional weight carried by Tena and Carrasco’s voices.
