El Consorcio honours Amaya Allende joins the project

Sep 4

RTVE profiles Querida Amaya, de Mocedades a El Consorcio, a tribute recording following Amaya Uranga's retirement from the stage. Ana Sánchez recalls one of Amaya's final performances and describes her niece Allende Blanco, Estíbaliz's daughter, joining the ensemble. Allende says she wants audiences to receive the songs as they remember them. Iñaki says she brings her own artistic background and is not replacing an irreplaceable Amaya. Estíbaliz describes the continuing vocal polyphony and Allende's contribution. The report revisits Mocedades's 1973 popularity and El Consorcio's formation two decades later as context for a continuing repertoire across generations. It supplies no exact album-release date.

El Consorcio announces the Querida Amaya tribute project following Amaya Uranga's retirement, with Allende Blanco Uranga joining the ensemble. RTVE's October 2 retrospective feature describes the album, interviews Allende, Iñaki and Estíbaliz and presents the continuing vocal repertoire as a tribute rather than replacement of Amaya. The initial public announcement is dated September 4; a subsequent press presentation is documented in September. The album's precise release date is not established by the retrieved broadcast or inspected announcement accounts.
