Diego Carrasco Fernández was born in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz) in 1954. He studied flamenco guitar in Jerez de la Frontera with master player Rafael del Aguila. During his first stage as a professional musician Carrasco accompanied on the guitar some of the biggest flamenco singers in his home town, such as Tía Anica la Periñaca, Tío Gregorio El Borrico, Fernando Terremoto, Sernita de Jerez, etc.

During that period, Carrasco's artistic name was "Tate de Jerez." He also accompanied some of the leading dancers like Alejandro Vega and Antonio Gades. His interest in other musical styles led him to collaborate with rock singer Miguel Ríos, creating a fusion of Flamenco and rock.

After that there were other collaborations, with guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar and the most important Flamenco singer of the late 20th centyury, Camarón de la Isla. In 1984 Diego Carrasco gave a radical turn to his profession as a musician.

The guitarist known as El Tate disappeared and in his place appeared flamenco singer Diego Carrasco. His activity as a composer and producer has been endless. He composed music for the ballets of Joaquín Cortés and produced a series of very reputable recordings, such as the one by his regular accompanist, guitarist Manuel Morao, and also a series of recordings by some of the finest Flamenco singing families from Jerez.

Carrasco has continued his collaboration with Manolo Sanlúcar and with many other artists, mainly young ones- like Navajita Plateá, Tino di Geraldo and Tomasito. Diego Carrasco can only create in state of trance and, paradoxically, his knowledge about studio recording and new technologies helps him reach that point where the art form appears seemingly spontaneous and easy.

To do this he has had the complicity of the composer and producer Jesús Bola, as well as in previous cases where producer Ricardo Pachón made decisive contributions.On Inquilino Del Mundo, Diego deepens his interest in the basic beat of Flamenco and continues searching for a primordial and unreachable lament within the perfumes of Andalusian song.

As usual, Manuel Morao is on guitar and also his son Diego del Morao, las Peligro and La Venta on backing vocals, the handclapping dervishes from Jerez, Chicharo, Rafa and Bo Soto and, in an even more evident way than previous occasions, the notable rhythmic base present in most Nuevo Flamenco recordings: Benavent and Tino di Geraldo together with flautist Jorge Pardo.

It is a recording with many storiess and we realize that there can be no innovation without respecting tradition. ——————————————————————————– Discography: Cantes y Sueños (RCA, 1984)Tomaketoma (RCA)A Tiempo (PAP, 1993)Voz de referencia (Nuevos Medios NM 15639, 1993)Inquilino Del Mundo (Nuevos Medios NM 15 778, 2000)Mi ADN Flamenco (Nuevos Medios, 2004)
