Canelita is a phenomenon that happens on few occasions. Since a very young age, he began to sing and soon became a member of the new generation of cantaores, who seem predestined to keep flamenco alive. A difficult life without frills, undoubtedly deepened and made authentic his way of singing.
In 2020 he founded his record label Canelita Music S.L. with which he has released numerous songs, like the recent "Fuertes latidos."
Canelita's real name is Jonatan Vera. His artistic name is due to José Ortega Heredia Manzanita, Manolo Caracol's nephew, and, according to what they say, he was surprised when he heard him sing in a recording studio for a tribute album to the singer El Chino. He told him: "You are like 'canela' (cinnamon in English) singing, you are going to be called Canelita."
