Like you Richard, I have a clear memory of Rafael Romero. La Zambra formed a touring company that came to the Palace Theatre, London in 1960. They brought five singers - Juan Varea, Rafael Romero, Pericón de Cádiz, Pepe ‘El Culato’ and Manuela de Ronda. The guitarists were Perico el del Lunar (father and son), Juan González "Triguito" and Andrés Heredia. There was a lot of crowd pleasing stuff from a bunch of dancers and solos by Rosa Duran but the singers were the real stars. Looking back it is one of my most memorable flamenco experiences. A few years later I visited La Zambra in Madrid with my wife. We were advised to dress respectfully and not behave like tourists. There were no dancers. All the singers were there but Perico senior had died in 1964. Rob
