Ismael Serrano
One of the most successful singer-songwriters of the present generation, Madrileño Ismael Serrano has not looked back since his first hit album, the 1997 ‘Atrapados en azul’ (‘Trapped in Blue’). With meaningful, barbed but also poetic lyrics and his guitar slung over his shoulder, Serrano recalls Silvio Rodríguez, Serrat, Aute and Paco Ibañez. His message is still one of solidarity, aimed at those most in need whom he helps by participating in benefit concerts and performing in godforsaken places where music often does reach.
