Omar Montes

Omar Montes is a Spanish flamenco singer from Madrid. He came up performing on the street and at local events, building his sound from those roots. His music pulls in pop and hip-hop touches while staying grounded in flamenco forms like tangos and rumbas, which you can hear in tracks like 'Patio de la Cárcel - Tangos' and 'Camino de La Soledad - Rumba'.

He's worked with a range of collaborators, from flamenco figures like Duquende and Farruquito to pop and reggaeton names such as C. Tangana, Belinda, and Ñengo Flow. These features show up across his catalog, including on songs like 'Una y Mil Veces' and 'Más y Más'.

In 2019, Montes was arrested on domestic violence allegations, which he denied. The case drew attention and complicated his public image. He kept recording and releasing music through that period, with tracks like 'La Llama del Amor' arriving around the same time.

His live shows typically feature a band with guitarists, percussionists, and backing vocalists, mixing traditional flamenco instrumentation with modern rhythms. He hasn't shied away from themes of love and heartbreak in his lyrics, often delivered with a direct, unpolished vocal style.
