Synopsis

When the boy José Monje Cruz was born, the son of a canastera and a blacksmith, few could imagine that that blond gypsy would become the greatest Spanish musical icon of the 20th century. Because Camarón, who was nicknamed that way, renewed and amplified flamenco music from his native San Fernando island to half the world and then the entire world.

In this precious illustrated biography, the young Camarón appears in the Venta de Vargas, already dazzling figures such as Niña de los Peines or Don Antonio Mairena. Then comes the jump to the tablaos in Madrid, where he acquired a reputation as a bohemian and rebel, and also his years with Paco de Lucía and Tomatito, as well as the mythical recording of the album La leyenda del tiempo, piedra de toque of modern flamenco. He follows the avalanche of the eighties (and its chiaroscuro), the consecration in international festivals and the early end of his life at the age of 41.
