singing

Ángel Álvarez Caballero emphasized that Fernando Terremoto was very similar to his father Terremoto de Jerez not only in physique, but also in intensity and style of his performances. Unlike the latter, however, the son prepares himself more carefully for his appearances and does not rely solely on his intuition.

In 2009, the critic Francisco Sánchez Múgica described the penetrating intensity of Terremoto's singing. His singing penetrates mercilessly, so to speak soak through the listener. The singing is carefully worked out from beginning to end, full of emotion and overwhelming richness.
