“An offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” Cerys Mathews, BBC6The magnificent Gabriel Moreno returns to Gower by popular demand.
Gabriel is a Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, combining a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre, he's been championed by Cerys Matthews, and compared to Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and Neil Diamond. He's also an accomplished poet, with 12 books published to date.
Gabriel has thrilled audiences across South America, the USA and Europe, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness, The Great British Folk Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival.
Moreno’s unique artistic voice lies in the meeting and fusion of different identities. Born and raised in Gibraltar, a British territory bordering southern Spain and just 8 miles from Africa, he has since lived and performed across the world, absorbing influences from everywhere he went. Now considered one of the most compelling and distinctive artists in London's thriving folk and roots scene, he was previously the longtime curator and host of the legendary Lantern Society folk club, and in 2022 was awarded the title of Cultural Ambassador of Gibraltar.
“The songs tread a path between Folk, Latin and cabaret torch song. It’s an oddly effective mix which forms the perfect bed for Gabriel Moreno’s distinctive voice -a blend of Leonard Cohen, Peter Sarstedt, and dare I say it, Rex Harrison.” - Trevor Raggart, RNR magazine
"Moreno’s warm voice, embroidered by Ned Cartwright’s deft piano accompaniment, engrosses and soothes. Meditative one moment and despairing the next, these unhurried songs offer spiritual succour and solidarity, a balm for our trying times"
