Fallece El Cabrero, icono del flamenco y de la canción reivindicativa, muere a los 81 años
José Domínguez ‘El Cabrero’ es una de las personalidades más significativas que ha dado el flamenco en los últimos 40 años. Sólo dos cantaores han sido definidos como “fenómenos sociales”, debido a su impacto en los públicos más diversos: El Cabrero es uno de ellos. Su genialidad, talante, personalidad, postura vital y su compromiso con el cante sin aditivos y con los grandes temas que preocupan a la humanidad, hacen de él una figura única e irrepetible del cante jondo.
NOTA: Comunicado Ayuntamiento y por expreso deseo de la familia

El Cabrero—an icon of flamenco and protest song—passes away at the age of 81.
José Domínguez “El Cabrero” is one of the most significant figures to emerge from the world of flamenco over the last 40 years. Only two cantaores (flamenco singers) have ever been described as “social phenomena” due to their impact on the most diverse audiences; El Cabrero is one of them. His genius, temperament, personality, outlook on life, and his unwavering commitment—both to unadulterated cante (flamenco singing) and to the great themes that concern humanity—make him a unique and irreplaceable figure in the realm of cante jondo.
