Carlos Cano

Carlos Cano (1946-2000) was a singer, composer, and guitarist from Granada, Spain, who dedicated much of his career to reviving traditional Andalusian music styles, particularly the copla. He gave those half-forgotten genres a contemporary sound and is widely regarded as a central figure in their renewal during Spain's post-Franco transition to democracy. His work spanned coplas, boleros, rumbas, tangos, and other popular forms, blending deep folk roots with a modern sensibility.
