Camarón, la alegría y la pena
Mala, Irene
Romero, Salva F.
When the child José Monje Cruz was born, the son of a basket maker and a blacksmith, few could imagine that that blond gypsy would become the greatest Spanish musical icon of the 20th century. Because Camarón, who was nicknamed that way, renewed and amplified flamenco music from the island of his native San Fernando to half the world and then the whole world. In this beautiful illustrated biography the young Camarón appears in the Venta de Vargas, already dazzling figures of the stature of the Niña de los Peines or Don Antonio Mairena. Then comes the jump to the tablaos of Madrid, where he acquires a reputation for being bohemian and rebellious, and also his years with Paco de Lucía and Tomatito, as well as the mythical recording of the album Layenda del tiempo, the touchstone of modern flamenco. It follows the avalanche of the eighties (and their chiaroscuro), the consecration in international festivals and the early end of his life at 41 years old. Since then a star shines with special intensity in the sky of the flamingos... because Camarón lives.
