  • Antonio Chacón (1869 in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz – 1929 in Madrid) was a Spanish flamenco singer. Chacón began earning a living by performing flamenco around 1884. He toured Andalucia with his brother, a dancer, and guitarist Javier Molina. He was later hired by Silverio Franconetti for his café in Seville. He was noted for his skill in singing the cartagenera, malagueñas, granaína and media granaína, which earned him the popular title of "Don". According to Fernando el de Triana, he was so accomplished that all of the most successful cantaores (singers) performing with him renounced their right of seniority and allowed Chacón to perform last, because the audience would simply leave when he finished. Had they not preceded him, they would have been performing to an empty hall. He performed with many of the greatest performers of his era. The great guitarist, Sabicas, was his accompanist early in the latter's career. (en)

  • Antonio Chacón (* 1869 in Jerez de la Frontera, Cádiz; † 1929 in Madrid, Spanien) war ein Flamenco-Sänger. Um 1884 begann Chacón, seinen Lebensunterhalt durch Flamenco zu verdienen. Er reiste mit seinem Bruder, einem Tänzer und Gitarristen Javier Molina durch Andalusien. Später wurde er von Silverio Franconetti für dessen Cafe in Sevilla unter Vertrag genommen. Er war bekannt für seinen Gesang von Cartagenera, Malagueñas, Granaína und Media Granaína, für den er den volkstümlichen Titel Don bekam. Gemäß Fernando el de Triana war er so gut, dass die erfolgreichsten Sänger, die mit ihm arbeiteten, auf ihr Vorrangssrecht verzichteten und ihm erlaubten als Letzter aufzutreten. Das Publikum ging erst, nachdem er seinen Gesang beendet hatte. Er trat mit vielen berühmten Künstlern seiner Zeit auf, z. B. mit Sabicas. (de)
