Later he collaborated in the show “30 decibelios”, by “La Niña de los Cupones”, presented at the Bienal de Sevilla.

Ismael has shared the stage with many of the greats in different festivals, artists such as Juan Amaya, Jose Valencia, El Capullo de Jerez, among others. He has also collaborated with José Anillo in his latest album and has performed in presentations of Esperanza Fernández’s album at the Lope de Vega theater in Seville, along with Pastora Galván and David Dorantes.
