Originally released in Spain, My Songs and a Poem speaks directly to the heart of classic flamenco with a selection of tangos, bulerķas, and other styles, with music written mostly by her father. Yet she is not merely aping Enrique; rather, she makes this material entirely her own. From the aching sweetness of "Moguer" to the fire of the opening song "Cockles," the younger Morente shows off her virtuosic dexterity, her voice's color shifting from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other. Her sound is rich and round, yet she maintains an exacting precision in her delivery. Her worthy collaborators include a notable roundup of uncles and cousins, including the Carmonas (who perform as Ketama, a flamenco-rock-jazz-world hybrid). Another guest is guitarist Alfredo Lagos, whose razor-sharp articulation is a delight. The sound of these recordings, made in a variety of studios across Spain and in live performances, is uniformly rich and clear. The most striking fact about this album, though, is that it's the work of a 20-year-old. Estrella Morente is a fully formed artist, technically and emotionally, who embodies the soulful spirit of cante jondo, or "deep song." In picking up this album for international sale, Real World proves that it's still on the cutting edge of bringing local talent to wider audiences. --Anastasia Tsioulcas
