Pitingo was born in Ayamonte (Huelva), a region renowned for its great artists. The offspring of two families deeply linked to the Flamenco tradition, the Carpoio and Valencia families, Pitingo learnt flamenco singing at home.When he was only three years old, Pitingo went to live in Madrid and later became part of the city’s flamenco group and performance scene.

Pitingo’s musical influences are diverse,ranging from Camarón, Caracol and Niña de los Peines to Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder. He, himself, recognizes that he not only likes flamenco, but is also a fan of black music.  Pitingo has performed on stage with the Mojo Proyect and Alicia Keys, amongst others.

Universal Music signed Pitingo in 2005, the same year he released his first album: “Pitingo con Habichuelas”. The album is characterised by its huge artistic personality and features Pitingo in combination with guitar experts such as Juan and Pepe Habichuela or the amazing Juan Carmona and Antonio Carmona, former members of the Ketama band.
