DIEGO AMADOR
From his roots to a language of his own.
Diego Amador was born in Seville in 1973 and grew up in Las 3000 Viviendas, the youngest of eight
siblings, in a Gitano family deeply connected to flamenco.
In the Amador home, music did not need to be explained.
It was heard.
It was played.
It was sung.
It was shared.
A room to create.
From an early age, Diego needed a space of his own — somewhere to listen, experiment and make
music. A room in Las 3000 became his first creative space
Then came a Hammond organ. And with it, a new door opened.
When Diego placed his hands on the keys, he did not try to leave behind everything he already knew.
He did the opposite.
From six strings to eighty-eight keys.
His knowledge of flamenco guitar profoundly shaped the way he understood the keyboard.
Rhythm, accompaniment, articulation, intention and the character of toque began to inhabit the piano.
But the new instrument opened other possibilities.
Greater range.
More voices.
New harmonic possibilities.
A personal way of playing began to emerge.
It was never about leaving the guitar behind.
It was about discovering how far those same roots could travel through another instrument.
Piano and cante
Cantar y tocar desde el mismo lugar.
For Diego, piano and voice belong to the same musical thought.
The piano can accompany cante.
Cante can live within the piano.
That relationship is one of the defining elements of his artistic identity.
Music without boundaries.
Flamenco is his foundation.
Never his boundary.

Different moments in the same creative search
The search continues.
Composition.
Arranging.
Production.
Technology.
New scales of creation.
Not as a way of moving away from his origins.
But as a way of discovering everything that can still emerge from them.
The roots remain.
The language keeps expanding.
