Festival de La Unión 2009 pays tribute to Vicente Amigo

Niña Pastori, Rafael Amargo, Arcángel and Capullo de Jerez also shape up the bill, which is to be held August 5th to 15th in the Murcia-area town.

When he has just released his sixth album, ‘Paseo de Gracia’, Vicente Amigo receives a tribute at Festival del Cante de las Minas 2009. And that happens over twenty years after the Córdoba-born guitarist won the Bordón Minero 1988 in the contest of this festival which is held every summer in La Unión (Murcia, Spain).

The lineup of its forty-ninth edition, which is to be held at the old marketplace August 5th to 15th, is also highlighted by the shows of Niña Pastori, Arcángel, Carlos Piñana, Capullo de Jerez, Rafael Amargo, Argentina, Guillermo Cano and Mariana Cornejo.

They are joined by the winners of the contest’s past edition - Huelva-born cantaora Rocío Márquez and Madrilenian bailaor Alfonso Losa -, plus the final phase of the competition for cantaores, bailaores and new guitarists this year, which premieres the award for instrumentalists ‘El Filón’.
