My flamenco guitar instructor, maestro, and doyenne of the Washington, DC flamenco community, Paco de Malaga, told me about it when it occurred two years ago. Paco was a personal friend of Ramon de Algeciras (having studied at a young age under Ramon and PDL's father). Apparently Ramon died of lung cancer, like so many other flamenco greats (Camaron and others) who have passed on. Constant smoking seemed to be an occupational hazard for flamencos of that time, and perhaps still is for some. It's a shame to see such talent cut down earlier than it needs to be.
Cheers,
Bill
