OPINION – MEDIA
“I strongly defend flamenco’s ability to train the lame, one-armed, one-eyed, and blind. Flamenco was always a creepy avant-garde. It’s a pity that the Bizco de los Camarones, that is, José, wanted to clear his name before this album of his, a major work among his band, and that it is a really “cross-eyed” work. On the one hand, there is his flamenco, the essence of the town criers of San Miguel, which is not something ancient but from another time; on the other, a rock and roll opted for Gong, not only the label, but also the mythical Andalusian one of the García Pelayo. That is why I say that it is a cross-eyed work, capable of crossing those two gazes.”
Pedro G. Romero
“Between José’s metal and the verses of Neruda, Kavafis or Chipi, an unforgettable steel alloy is achieved.”
Juan José Téllez
“José is connected to Smash and that conjunction with rock, where electric guitars do not imitate flamenco guitars, where a genuine sonic is created, and the voice tells the truth and becomes closer.”
Paco Loco
Jose de los Camarones. The artist in the splendor of him.
The cantaor, in the fullness of it, keeps within himself the secrets and the truth of cante. He fights with him or finds himself with the complicity of an old companion. His ancient knowledge prevails over everything around him: he absorbs the current accompaniments —the stratocaster touch of Jorge Gómez Vidal is extremely flamenco— and the metal in his throat screams as much as he sings. His mind, which is young, reviews the old styles and renews his speech without betraying that original truth.”
Fermín Lobatón
“José, the one from the Shrimp, is the creator of a quantum flamenco that reaches the soul before the ear. Capricious and, above all, heterodox like him. He is a heretic before the dogma of a captive art, he likes the company of other heretics. And the present album “Anclé mi alma” with Serie Gong Productores, thus proves it.”
José Gil Valencia
“The proclamation of a life of someone who, without having anything, has everything… and the shrimp, and the cante, and the secrets of being born before himself.”
Francisco De la Rosa
