Alfonso Cid

Alfonso Mogaburo Cid was raised in Seville, the heartland of flamenco music. His mother, an amateur singer from Triana, a Flamenco enclave in Seville, and his grandfather, an aficionado of flamenco were his earliest influences. He also had the opportunity of attending the activities of one the most significant flamenco clubs in Andalusia, the Peña Flamenca Torres-Macarena since 1987. There he had the wonderful opportunity of attending performances by some of the greatest flamenco artists of all time: José Mercé, Fernanda and Bernarda de Utrera, Chocolate, Chano Lobato, Rancapino, El Pele as well as the dancer Javier Latorre and Carmen Ledesma among many others. He also was a member as a flute player of the resident flamenco fusion band of the Peña Torres-Macarrena called “Al Baño María¨ which toured throughout Andalusia in venues such as “La Carbonería” and festivals in Málaga, Alcalá de Guadaira, Utrera, and Lebrija.
