Diego Del Morao
Diego del Morao (born 1979 in Jerez de la Frontera) is a Spanish flamenco guitarist. He is the son of the late Moraíto Chico II[1][2] who he learned to play from and also attended El Carbonero's school. He has recorded live albums such as Confí de fuá, No hay quinto malo and La rosa blanca.[3] He has performed with the likes of José Mercé and Luis Carrasco.[4][5]
Diego Del Morao is one of the most in-demand guitarists on today's flamenco scene. Son of the legendary guitarist Moraíto, who along with family patriarch Manuel Morao, developed the signature sound of traditional Jerez-style flamenco guitar. Del Morao takes that family legacy into the 21st century.
Diego Del Morao's demand as a guitarist soared to new heights in 2004, when he played on recordings by Jose Merce, Nina Pastori, Montse Cortes, La Tana, Potito and more.
Diego became the most studied flamenco compositor by amateur guitarists around the world.
