Monroy has been praised by the critics as one of the most outstanding figures among the new generation of young flamenco artists. His very unique style follows the path of new flamenco, a way of blending different styles with frequent references to jazz. With Chicuco, Sergio Monroy steps further ahead in his musical career, offering a very complete work, astonishing in the sound maturity of its brave, daring style. For the pianist, Chicuco is in homage to his parents and to the memory of a childhood passed among the corner shops of his neighborhood, and pays tribute to everybody who lives far from his hometown, Cádiz.
