Flamencos in Advertising

I was channel hopping on Spanish TV not long ago when I saw Dieguito "el Cigala" looking very cool on a stool in a black suit advertising......frozen Cigalas (large prawns).
Now tell me, what genius in marketing put that personality to that product?
...which led me to thinking what else could be advertised with flamenco artists.
Heinz ketchup with Tomatito is an obvious one.
La Macanita looking sultry on top of a "JCB digger" might do wonders for their marketing.
El Pollo de California...."KFC" of course.

This does rather leave "El Capullo de Jerez" with a problem. Maybe he should consider a career in politics!
