Miguel Ángel Poveda León was born in Barcelona in February 1973, and with nearly 40 years of age he managed what all artists want: the recognition of the public and his colleagues. This man is one of the most famous flamenco singers in the whole world, even though he’s known by the name Miguel Poveda. Since the age of 15 he’s dedicated himself to flamenco music, but it was running through his veins since he was in his mother’s womb.

His professional flamenco career began in 1993 after having won various famous national awards which made him famous around Spain first and then around the world. And so, step by step and with a lot of care and work, Poveda won many awards for his artistic work. Some of the latest are the Catalunya National Culture Prize this year, a special prize given by the Local Federation of Flamenco fanclubs in 2009 during the 13th Jerez Festival, and many others.

By winning prizes, the people and his musical colleagues got to know him. Today he’s a well-loved artist by all the public who love flamenco, both from and out of Spain. He played in the most important cities in the world representing his culture and his passion. For example, he played a concert at the Odeon in Paris, at the Colón Theatre in Buenos Aires, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, and in many other places in a never-ending list.

As well as being a very charismatic man, he’s good looking and the women die for him when he shouts his classical ‘olé’ and puts on his most heartfelt facial expressions. But Miguel Poveda isn’t just a pretty face. Film directors such as Pedro Almodóvar and Bigas Luna called him to participate in their films. The same happened with other artists who wanted to sing with him, such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Pasión Vega, Raphael and others.

The citizens and visitors of the city of Seville will have the pleasure of being able to listen to this privileged voice at the Maestranza Theatre, in three exclusive concerts which will take place on the 10th, 11th and 12th of December of 2011. The time will be at 8.30pm and those who attend will fall in love with his songs which will go back to his greatest hits from his career from his eight recorded albums. ‘Copias del querer’, his latest album, is already in platinum.

And that’s how the classic flamenco from all times is still alive in the hearts and the blood of all good music lovers. Miguel Poveda knew how to adapt to the cultural changes of recent times and, today, he’s the modern symbol of transformation of the musical genre.

If you rent apartments in Seville in December, you’ll be one step away from listening to the best contemporary flamenco singer, which is an ideal plan for a tourist who wants to get to know the culture from a new country, its people and its music. Also, the Maestranza Theatre is an emblem of the city which you should visit if you’re visiting it.
