During his childhood, Camarón was already going around the streets and inns in Cádiz, singing and playing the guitar to earn a little money. When he wasn’t 17 yet, he recorded some songs, that have now been re-mastered and whose sound has been cleaned up, in the Venta de Vargas, a legendary flamenco establishment during the 1970s. Not all of the songs are strictly speaking part of a...
A compilation with some of Camarón's most importanat recordings.
An uncomon album, with an artistic production below what the cantaor had us used to. The best of the album is the taste of tavern generated by the cantes without guitar with the only percussion being of the knuckles.
While it consists of a summary of the innovations we have heard until today, this disc forecasts new changes. Once again we find bulerías without claps like in the 1971 album but now Paco de Lucía doubles up on falsettos and some answers. With Ramón de Algeciras in charge of the second guitar; three guitars sporadically surface.In the bulerías 'Como castillo de arena' some endings surprise by...
'Canastera' seems to show the most experimental sides of these two flamenco virtuosos. It coincided temporarily with the flamenco 'duende' of Paco de Lucía (1972) y reflects the sound of that time with echoes and rever effects. It starts with an attempt at creating Cante, 'La Canastera', with a chorus that brings back the memories of the copla 'Ojos Verdes', originally written by Valverde, León...
José Monjeand Jose Fernandez, two Flamenco giants who prove their importance through this album. You get goosebumps from 'Limón de cera' and, God, there is nothing in this world that can match Camarón's fine tuning and rhythm. Tomatito is incredible.
This is clearly a reknowed artist not only in Spain but beyond our borders. This is a sonic document that proves Paris is also capable of glowing under this maestro's spell. Seats were scarce at the Cirque d'Hiver in Paris on 1987 to see a living legend of flamenco. A performance silentely hidden which has been brought to life to the delight of his fans. Without a doubt, Camarón is the last...
'Autorretrato' is work every avid collector of the genre should have at home, just like any other one by the maestro. It is a compilation that dangerously approaches perfection, it has a broad range of palos and is capable of exciting the listner. Flameco art in its pure state.
The company Universal Music has recovered and updated the voice of the cantaor from San Fernando on a triple album with thirty-three songs. The definitive publishing and mastering has been carried out in the mythical Abbey Road Studios in London directed by Luis Monge, Camarón's son.The result will come out in a triple CD format with thirty-three titles 'and many surprises: instruments which...
