Juan Munoz was born in Madrid – and we all know what Spain is famous for, its beautiful and illustrious flamenco dancing! And at the heart of flamenco is the song that consists of verses of beautiful and concise poems.

Flamenco singers are specifically renowned for their somewhat harsh and natural vocal quality. This style is meant to evoke the nature of suffering so closely related to the origins of the music and as such, many of the songs in flamenco reflect the spirit of desperation, struggle, hope, and pride of the people during the time at which it was invented.
