RECORDANDO A P.BACAN Y EL FUNI

MIGUEL PEÑA VARGAS, cantaor y bailaor gitano, más conocido artísticamente por MIGUEL EL FUNI, nació en Lebrija (Sevilla) en el año de 1939, heredando de su familia el arte y el duende del cante y el baile flamenco. Es de una familia gitana legendariaa la que pertenecen figuras como Juan Peña "El Lebrijano", Pedro Bacán, Fernanda y Bernarda de Utrera...Empezó a cantar en su propia casa, pero hasta la edad de 27 años no empezó a hacerlo profesionalmente.  ~ 'El Funi" is one of flamenco's lesser known vocalists and dancers. Funi was featured on the 1989 multi-artist compilation, Cante Flamenco, singing two songs -- "Solea" and "Bulerias" -- accompanied by Guitarists Paco and Juan Del Gastor.



Pedro Bacán (Pedro Peña Peña) was born in Lebrija, Seville, in 1951, and like most gypsies from this part of Andalucía, flamenco was a natural ingredient in the process of growing up. He was born into one of the most illustrious flamenco clans of the last two centuries. He is the great grandson of the legendary singer El Pinini, son of cantaor, Bastian Bacán, and nephew of La Perrata, another heavy weight singer from the land of pottery and flamenco. His sister just happens to be Inés Bacán, one of the most relevant singers of the deep ancient styles of Lebrija.
