Cristian Saucedo

The son of Andalusian and Extremaduran immigrants with no prior musical tradition, Cristian grew up in Sabadell but found his ideal artistic and personal ecosystem in Tenerife.

His passion for art emerged at an early age, and he began his flamenco journey in adolescence at the Joaquín Herrera Flamenco School in Barcelona, where he trained under the philosophy of "Compás, sentido y armonía" (Rhythm, feeling, and harmony).

While his love for music spans various genres, flamenco was the one that truly captivated him—moving him, stirring his emotions, and awakening his desire to sing.

He sees art as an ongoing journey toward truth and beauty, believing in the power of emotional transmission: **"Feel to make others feel."** His voice, raw and spoken, lends itself perfectly to the dramatic depth of flamenco.

Through years of artistic experience, and with humility and respect, Cristian continues to grow along the path of **compás**, becoming ever more **jondo** and deeply personal in his expression.
