Falete

Falete, born Rafael Ojeda Rojas in Seville, came up in a musical household where flamenco and copla were part of the air. His debut album 'Falelito' arrived in 2004, and the single 'Señora' became a hit that brought him wider attention. His voice has a particular power and expressiveness that works within those traditional Spanish forms.

He's released albums like 'Puta Mentira' in 2006 and 'Coplas del Querer' in 2008. Songs such as 'Mi Amante Amigo' and 'Payaso' show his approach to the copla style. In 2008, his gender-affirming surgery became a public topic, and he's spoken about LGBTQ+ rights since.

There's no permanent band behind him; he typically performs with backing musicians who know flamenco. He put out 'Sin Censura' in 2018, and his catalog includes tracks like 'Lo Siento Mi Amor' and 'Palabras Para Julia'.
