This looks like a music video for a song performed by Diego El Cigala called Suspiros de Espana.
Diego Ramon Jimenez Salazar, known as El Cigala Spanish for Norway lobster, a nickname given to him by Camaron de la Isla is a famous Flamenco singer. He is a gypsy.
One of his great albums is Lagrimas negras, a cooperation with Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes.
Like several other cantaores, El Cigala started singing in the street, in flamenco penas enthusiasts clubs and tablaos, until his excellent meter and ability to mark the rhythm turned him into one of the best at accompanying dancing. In this way, singing in the background for bailaores like Mario Maya, Faico, Farruco, El Guito, Manuela Carrasco, Cristobal Reyes, Carmen Cortes and Manolete, he has travelled around a large portion of the world, until he decided to sing from the front, which in flamenco slang means to sing on ones own, as opposed to accompanying the bailaor.
