Pure Flamenco - Camarón de la Isla

El Camarón de la Isla (born December 5, 1950, San Fernando, Spain; died July 2, 1992, Badalona, Spain), stage name of flamenco singer José Monje Cruz but is sometimes also credited as José Monge Cruz.
His uncle José nicknamed him Camarón (Spanish for "Shrimp") because he was blonde haired and fair skinned. At the age of eight he began to sing at inns and bus stops with Rancapino to earn money. At sixteen he won first prize in the Festival del Cante Jondo in Mairena de Alcor.

In 2005 director Jaime Chávarri brought out the biopic "Camarón" in Spain starring Óscar Jaeneda as Camarón himself and Verónica Sánchez as La Chispa.
The film, produced in consultation with Camarón's widow, was subsequently nominated for several Goya Awards.

The two would tour extensively together during this period. As Paco de Lucía became more occupied with solo concert commitments, El Camarón would work with one of Paco's students, Tomatito.
At the age of 23, Camarón married Dolores Montoya, a gypsy girl from La Linea de La Concepcion who he nicknamed "La Chispa" (The Spark). At the time La Chispa was only fourteen. Shortly afterwards the couple had two children, and were eventually to have a total of four.
Many consider El Camarón to be the single most popular and influential flamenco "cantaor" of the modern period. Although his work brought criticism from some traditionalists, he was one of the first to feature an electric bass in his songs. This was a turning point in the history of Flamenco music that helped distinguish Nuevo Flamenco.
