Granada bids farewell to Pepe Habichuela, guitarist of the Carmona dynasty

Granada said goodbye this weekend to Pepe Habichuela, stage name of José Carmona Habichuela, at a funeral that brought together representatives of several generations of flamenco and Spanish song. According to coverage by Vanitatis, the social chronicle outlet of El Confidencial, those attending included the cantaor Kiki Morente, the musician Antonio Carmona, a member of Ketama, and the artist Mariola Orellana.

The presence of those who attended underlines the cross-cutting position of the deceased guitarist. Pepe Habichuela belonged to the Carmona Habichuela dynasty, a Gypsy family from Granada with several generations of flamenco guitarists.

The information, disseminated by Vanitatis via Google News, does not specify the exact date of the death or the funeral, nor the guitarist's age. So far, no other outlet has independently confirmed the details of the ceremony, meaning the available data comes exclusively from the publication in question.

The death of Pepe Habichuela represents the loss of one of the last living links in a dynasty that connected Granada's Gypsy tradition with contemporary fusion flamenco.
