El Niño de Elche is an artist. He is a singer. He is a provocateur. A scholar. He is the son of his parents. He is a person from Elche. He is all of these things and none at the same time. Canto cósmico tries to deepen and portray that polyhedral personality through the reflection of the gazes of those who surround him, love him, observe him or share his art. C. Tangana, Angélica Lidell, Pedro G. Romero, Raúl Cantizano, Israel Galván or Paqui and Aladino, her parents… are just some of the voices that, together with Paco’s in harmonic polyphony, make up this very free portrait, almost cubist, of the Child of Elche.
