Does anybody know if Rafael Amador is still active musician? According to basic google-research I've found out he stayed alone in Pata Negra, but PN released last album in 1995 (?), there is almost nothing on YT from last few years, just the documentary called Poligono Sur, where Rafael appears. Unfortunately, with my current level of Spanish Im not able to understand what is going on in the documentary. There is quite a lot of videos with Raimundo, but seems he is playing blues on electric guitar only. And of course I know the work of the youngest Amador - Diego. But I assume he was not the PN member, although I found info that sometimes he played the drums there, in age of 11. :D Anybody 've heard something or maybe know Rafael personally? Just to explain my interest - only few months ago I "discovered" Pata Negra music, saw available documentaries about PN or related to (Dame Veneno, El Rock de los Gitanos, El Tiempo de Leyenda) and I'm more and more convinced this was one of the most exciting era in Spanish music.
