Tino Tovar, one of the most award-winning authors of the Cadiz carnival.
Constantino Tovar Verdejo, better known in the Cadiz Carnival world as Tino Tovar, began his career in the comparsa world in the children’s and youth categories. After several years of success in these categories, he made his debut in 1996 in the adult category with the group ‘Los Callejeros’, with which he reached the semi-finals.
In the following years he made it to the finals, obtaining various awards, but it was in 2000 when he managed to win the first prize with the comparsa ‘Los del año catapum’. He would repeat in 2005 with ‘El Espíritu de Cádiz’, in 2011 with ‘Juana la Loca’ and in 2014 with ‘La Canción de Cádiz’.
In his last performance in 2018, he achieved third place with ‘Tic-Tac, Tic-Tac’.
Not only did he win big in the comparsas category, in 2005 he won a double with the comparsa ‘El Espíritu de Cádiz’ and composed the music for the chirigota ‘Los que salen por gusto’ which won first prize in the chirigota category, repeating in 2007 with the chirigota ‘Los Juan Palómez, yo te guiso y tu te lo come’ and in 2011 a new double with ‘Juana la Loca’ in comparsas and in chirigotas with ‘Ricas y Maduras’.
