Daniel Azcarate is Americas premier emerging flamenco singer and currently works as a professional singer in Sevilla, Spain, throughout North America, Canada, and Japan. Azcarate started studying flamenco guitar at the age of 19, and took up flamenco singing (cante) while visiting Sevilla two years later, where he realized that singing was his true passion. Back in the U.S., Azcarate studied with renowned singers like Jesus Montoya, Vicente Griego, Cristo Cortes and others. Soon he was in-demand at the local tablaos in his hometown of Seattle, both as a singer and guitarist. In 2013, Azcarate returned to Seville to study flamenco singing fulltime at the famed flamenco school Fundacíon Cristina Heeren. Since then, he has become a regular voice in the Seville flamenco scene, regularly appearing at well-known tablaos like Caja Negra, Sala Garufa, Bar puerta Sol and La Flamenqueria, as well as at the Feria de Abril in Sevilla. He also continues to be an in-demand Singer internationally and has toured with dancer Melinda Hedgecorths Flamenco Mio U.S. tour, Canadas Fin de Fiesta Flamenco tour and Yume Terais Sueño Flamenco tour in Japan. Azcarate currently divides his time between Seville and Seattle, and recently recorded his debut CD, Mi Camino Flamenco.
