Zambra...the OTHER zambra that is. . That jacket is covering his arm in a cast. They talk about his wife who passed away in the interviews. Does anybody know what happened to her and if it was related to the car accident?
Here’s a version featuring Juan Habichuela on guitar, which has been a favourite of mine to listen to while working for years now. It’s on his “De la Zambra al Duende - Un Homenaje” release listed under “Carcelero, Carcelero (Romance)”. Hauntingly beautiful.
The familia Ortega was very important in flamenco. In his book "El arte en la sangre" Félix Rodríguez provides a complete family tree.
The familia Pavón was equally important, Pastora, Tomás y Arturo.
Manuel Bohórquez Casado has written an important book on Tómas, one of the greatest cantaores in the history of flamenco ( his sister, Pastora, one of the greatest cantaoras). The book contains a CD of the obra completa de Tómas.
