El Potito, (born Antonio Vargas Cortés in Seville
in 1976) is a Spanish flamenco and new flamenco singer. He has been hailed
as a "young singer tipped to be following in the footsteps of El
Camaron." Bernard Leblon said he has a "prodigious voice
capable of hitting incredibly high notes, [and] was an overnight sensation in
the world of flamenco."
From a child at the age of 10, he began acting, singing
and flamenco dancing on the tourist boats on the Guadalquivir River. As a
teenager, collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Paco de
Lucía ("Zyrjab"). By 1996 he had already released two
albums with collaborations with Vicente Amigo and others. He has
since performed in a large number of performances internationally,
collaborating in performances of Joaquin Cortes and Sara Baras,
and is a singer in the Tomatito group. Altogether he has released six
albums, the last of which is Macandé.
