Marian Fernández: the young voice that honors flamenco singing

From Granada to the world, Marian Fernández represents the new generation of flamenco with a voice that respects tradition and excites with authenticity

The first steps of an innate passion

From a very early age, Marian showed a natural inclination towards singing. Although an exact moment in which he began to sing cannot be specified, his interest in flamenco was consolidated at the age of 14, when he received his first classes at the Escuela Superior de Arte Flamenco (ESAF). It was in this environment that a dancer recognized her talent and invited her to participate in the Granada Young Flamenco Competition, obtaining the first prize at the provincial level and the second at the Andalusian level.​

Artistic training and consolidation

Marian's career has been characterized by a constant search for improvement. After his beginnings at the ESAF, he joined the Vimaambi Art Workshop, where for two years he delved into the songs "back" or dance songs, without neglecting the songs "alante". Her training continued at the Cristina Heeren Foundation in Seville, where she studied with teachers such as Juan José Amador and José de la Tomasa, obtaining a scholarship to study flamenco professionally.

Recognition and international projection

Marian's talent has been recognized at various competitions and festivals. In 2016, he won second prize at the Íllora Mountains Competition and toured Russia. The following year, she won the second prize for granaína awarded by the Cristina Heeren Foundation and participated in a tour of China with the company of Javier Martos. In 2018, she was awarded as "Best cantaora de Granada" and won the second prize at the Andalusian level in the "Flamenco en los Montes" contest in Íllora, in addition to prizes for cantiñas and soleá. That same year, he toured China and Japan, consolidating his international projection.​

A legacy under construction

Marian Fernández's career is a testament to her dedication, passion and respect for flamenco. Her nuanced and emotionally charged voice reflects a deep understanding of the genre and a sincere connection to its roots. Through her art, Marian contributes to keeping the essence of flamenco alive, while bringing a fresh and contemporary vision.​

At Teatro Flamenco Sevilla, we celebrate the talent of artists like Marian Fernández, who with their dedication and authenticity enrich the flamenco scene and ensure its continuity for future generations.
