Diego Valdivia
and his team
Diego
Valdivia
At the age of five, I received the gift of kings that was to change my life. A little house like the one that has half the world in its house. With him I started playing by ear the tunes of the cartoons I was watching at the time. At 9 I started my studies at the Paco de Lucia Medium Grade Conservatory in Algeciras. When I finished at the age of 12, far from removing music from my life, I felt the urge to compose and perform my own compositions. For reasons of life, at the same time as I was 23 years old, I obtained the title of Civil Engineer. In fact, I currently combine music (nights and weekends) with Engineering (weekdays). In 2014, I managed to introduce our music… (I say ours because my inseparable Daniel Valenzuela appears as an arranger in all my compositions),… in the TV channels of half the world thanks to a contract signed with a production company of the group AMC Networks (History, Kitchen, Discovery,…) and from there, it jumped to half the world. In Spain it is not surprising to turn on the TV and listen to our music finishing news, reports, programs, announcements,…
Several of our video clips and covers went viral on social networks, reaching more than 20 million visits in the RRSS to date, and being shared more than 4 million times, surprising figures especially if we have not invested in advertising and we do not have any production company behind. We are who we are, and people like you are the ones who have shared our work. Due to this emergence in the networks and at the request of the fans, we set up several shows with different formats and programs for which we have traveled throughout Andalusia, Spain and beyond. Special is the resounding success obtained in the prestigious XX Antalya Piano International Festival, one of the most important in the world, where the critics present us as “World Figure”. We are in several circuits of the National Network of Theatres, as well as in the Provincial ones.
Daniel
Valenzuela
I am a guitarist, music producer and musical director who has worked with many artists of the national scene: Pablo Alborán, Miguel Poveda, India Martínez,… At the age of 16 I won a national flamenco guitar contest and signed up for Pullmantur Cruceros where I spent 8 years touring the world. Later I spent a few years in Barcelona and returned to my homeland Algeciras, Cadiz. I combine my guitar lessons with a multitude of students and professionals of the area with the performances of my personal projector with my musical brother Diego Valdivia, where I work in my studio as a music producer, and in the live performances of musical director and guitarist.

Pozo
I have always loved flamenco percussion.
I was introduced to the world of music in 2014 and later I started playing with different artists and local groups.
My training has been thanks to great percussionists both Andalusian and international.
Currently, I accompany Diego Valdivia in his concerts, highlighting my participation in his show “Aromas del Sur” which took place in the Cultural Hall of Manama, BAHRAIN, DURING HIS “Spring Festival” 2023.
Mario de los
Santos Flamenco
I am a flamenco artist, dancer and creator of the evolestral lifestyle.
My adventure in the world of art begins since I start to be aware of life and in a self-taught way. At the age of 16 I began my studies to train in the profession and at the age of 18 I made my debut with the Company of the one who was my teacher.
At the age of 21 I lead my first classes to teach other people to dance flamenco. I have been 11 years active being a member of the corps de ballet and soloist dancer in several flamenco companies, working both inside and outside the country.
In 2018 I create my own company Mario de los Santos Flamenco and in 2019 I join Diego Valdivia and Daniel Valenzuela’s project. In 2023 I spend that year in Madrid combining the above mentioned with appearances in the prestigious flamenco tablaos of the capital. Currently I am back in my homeland Algeciras, Cadiz. Where I combine my online classes to many students and professionals from all over the world with the performances of my company and my commitment to the musical project of Diego Valdivia and Daniel Valenzuela, where I work as a creator of choreography and responsible for communication and in live performances as a lighting technician and dance figure.
In my social networks I am a disseminator of my lifestyle which I call Evolestral and you can find me as Mario de los Santos Flamenco.
