Jesús Corbacho

Jesús Corbacho Vazquez (Huelva, 1986) was singing his first fandangos at just two and a half years old. His father instilled in him a passion for the songs of his land from a very young age. At only eleven, he received the First National Prize for Fandangos at the Paco Toronjo Contest in Alosno in the children’s category, a prize he would repeat years later in the adult category. Among his numerous awards, he stands out for the First Prize for Malagueñas at the XLVIII International Cante Festival of Las Minas De La Unión in 2008.

He has worked for dance figures such as Mario Maya, Milagros Mengíbar, Merche Esmeralda, Eva Yerbabuena, Belén Maya, Rocío Molina, Pastora Galván, Rafael and Adela Campallo, Jesús Carmona, Mercedes de Córdoba, “El Choro,” Olga Pericet, Manuel Liñan, Marco Flores, and many others in theaters as important as the City Center of New York, the Opera House of Sydney, the Chaillot Theater in Paris, the Sadlers Wells in London, among others, and in festivals such as the Seville Biennial, the Flamenco Art Festival of Mont de Marsan, Flamenco Festival of the USA and the UK, the Flamenco Biennial of Malaga, the Jerez Festival, the Caja Madrid Festival, etc… In 2023, he was awarded the prize for the best accompanying song at the Jerez Festival.

He has been a guest artist with the National Ballet of Spain in the show “Alento y Zaguán” directed by Antonio Najarro and with the Flamenco Ballet of Andalusia in the show “En la memoria del cante: 1922” directed by Rafaela Carrasco.

Regarding his discography, we highlight his first solo work “Debajo del romero” as well as collaborations on albums like “Tiempo Presente” by Michele Iaccarino, “Historia Antológica del Fandango de Huelva,” “Fandango Joven,” “Herencia,” and “Esta noche es Navidad” as part of the group “Niños de Huelva,” “Movimiento” by Luis Medina…

As a solo singer, his participation in flamenco festivals of great importance such as the Flamenco Festival of Chicago USA, the Flamenco Festival of Huelva, the Festival de Ojén, the Flamenco Days of La Fortuna, or the Suma Flamenca Festival of Madrid stands out. He also participated in the “Divino Tesoro” show, singing for both dance and solo, directed by José Luis Ortiz Nuevo, receiving reviews such as: “The onubense Jesús Corbacho did very well in his Guajira marchenera and the fandangos of El Pinto, with his characteristic voice and undoubted personality.” Manuel Bohórquez, El Correo de Andalucía. “Jesús Corbacho, full of knowledge, set the Guajira on fire with a pregón and fandango in the skies of Marchena and Pinto.” Manuel Martín Martín, El Mundo. “With American airs and echoes of Pepe Marchena, Jesús Corbacho first performed a sweet guajira and then some fandangos a lo Pepe Pinto.” José Luis Navarro, El Eco De La Memoria. “They heated the atmosphere with tientos with the young but wise throats of Jesús Corbacho… Jesús Corbacho, immeasurable in singing for dancing, linked soleares by Joaquín el de la Paula, from La Andonda… And Jesús Corbacho, great all night, wanted to pay tribute to his two Pepes, the one from Marchena and El Pinto, with guajira, pregón, and fandango.” Luis M. Pérez, La Flamenca Magazine.
