Diego Amador Fernández
Contemporary Flamenco Music. Multistrumentist, composer, Flamenco singer and Pianist. Producer.
Diego Amador was born into a gypsy family steeped in flamenco tradition. He grew up in the neighborhood of the 3000, a housing conversion project of the old gypsy quarter, Triana.
His musical background is strictly nonacademic. Growing up in a family of guitarists, his first instrument was naturally the guitar. Nevertheless, at the age of 11 he started performing extensively, playing the drums for the group Pata Negra.He has collaborated and shared the stage with musicians such as Chick Corea, Birelli Lagreene, Luis Salinas, Jorge Pardo, Carles Benavent, Alex Acuña, Abrahan Laboriell, Larry Coriel, and Jerry Gonzalez, Path Metheny amongst others.
His deep pre-occupation with music has turned him into a multi-instrumentalist, and equally into a composer, recording artist and producer. All the while, his career as a solo artist defines him, without a doubt, as a pianist and singer.
