This significant gypsy singer, known in the world of the cante flamenco by the name of Juan El de la Vara, was born in Barcelona in 1938 and is the first cousin of Carmen Amaya, whom he deeply admired and whom he remembers in the song 'Recordando a Carmen', a Zambra with Soleares, which opens this recording.
Creator of fandangos and great lyricist, this CD shows his good work in different palos such as the Zambra, Jaleo, Bulerías or Rumba and of course his unparalleled Fandagos.
