Between 1996 and 2005, he worked as a soloist and assistant choreographer in Cristina Hoyos’ company, participating in productions such as Caminos andaluces, Yerma and Tierra adentro. Since 2007, he has pursued a solo career with productions such as Junquerías, Por un sueño or Mirando al pasado, Presented on stages and at festivals around the world, he has been honored by flamenco peñas in Huelva and Cádiz and nominated for the Premios Max. His dance—sober, rhythmic, and full of personality—authentically represents the Cádiz school.
Caracolillo de Cádiz
Esteban Guerrero, Caracolillo de Cádiz (Cádiz, 1977), is a cantaor deeply rooted in the flamenco tradition of Cádiz, heir to a flamenco lineage that he honors with authenticity and charisma. Grandson of the renowned Francisco “Caracol” de Cádiz, he made his debut at just ten years old, accompanied by Niño de los Rizos. Since then, he has performed in peñas, festivals, and tablaos, standing out at events such as Jueves Flamencos de Cádiz, Viernes Flamencos de Jerez, and the Memorial Camarón de la Isla, where he was awarded in 2007. Among other honors, he has won first prize at the Concurso Nacional de Alegrías de Cádiz, the Tientos y Soleá de Alcalá de Guadaíra, the Silla de Oro de Leganés (2016), and the Premio Nacional Antonio Mairena. His singing—powerful, sincere, and full of Cádiz flavor—covers styles such as seguiriya, bulería, alegría, tango, and fandangos, performed with skill and impeccable compás.
