One of the great flamenco singers in history is José Monje Cruz (Spain, 1950-1992), also known as Camarón de la Isla. Due to his enviable voice, Camarón had a great ability to connect and inspire the public.
Como el agua, the album in question, contains this song. Francisco Sánchez Gómez (Spain, 1947 – Mexico, 2014) appears on this album, better known by his stage name Paco de Luca. He is considered one of the greatest guitarists in the history of flamenco, a genre he revived and infused with jazz, bossa nova and classical music.
Verses by Federico García Lorca were sung while the performer daydreamed about getting away from the traditional flamenco of the time and "getting out of pure flamenco a little bit." They asked him on television what he thought of the album and he gave the following answer:
In my opinion, this album is very well done, so I think those who have listened to it and don't particularly like it should give it another listen.
The album finally went down in flamenco history as a standard.
At only 42 years old, Camarón died at a young age, but like many great artists and historical figures, his life was intense and brief. As the greatest flamenco vocalist of the modern era, he remains a legendary figure in tablaos and Spanish culture, capable of bringing life to even the bleakest social and musical situations. As a result, Luis, Gema and Rocío honor Camarón de la Isla's limitless artistic talent, as well as his impeccable brilliance and inventiveness in performing with "El Capitán de mis Sueños."
