Enrique Morente Cotelo, known as Enrique Morente, was a Spanish flamenco singer born in Granada on December 25, 1942. He passed away on December 13, 2010. Renowned as a controversial figure in contemporary flamenco, Morente began his career with orthodox styles before delving into experimentalism. He was known for writing new melodies for cante (flamenco singing) and collaborating with musicians across various genres, all while maintaining his roots in traditional flamenco. Despite facing severe criticism from purists, he emerged as one of the most influential contemporary flamenco singers, innovating while also contributing to the creation of tradition. He was a husband and father, though specific names are not provided.
