Niño de Murcia (Zeneta, Murcia) is a French flamenco singer and guitarist, born in Spain and moved to France at age of 20 years,[1] known for his Spanish / Latin songs.[2] He was signed to Disques Festival label that released most of his recordings. He sang mainly in Spanish, but also released a number of songs in French and a number of other languages and was famous internationally, notably in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. His Spanish language songs "El Emigrante" and "Esperanza" (originally by Charles Aznavour) remain iconic songs of the early 1960s in France,[3] as well as his famous covers of many classics like "Granada", "Guantanamera", "Malagueña" etc.
