Biography

El Camarón de la Isla (December 5,1950, San Fernando, Cádiz, Spain – July 2, 1992, Badalona, Spain) was the stage name of flamenco gypsy singer José Monje Cruz who is sometimes also credited as José Monge Cruz.

His uncle José nicknamed him Camarón (Spanish for "Shrimp") because he was blonde and fair skinned. At the age of eight he began to sing at inns and bus stops with Rancapino to earn money.… Read more in Amazon's Camarón de la Isla Store

2.0 out of 5 stars Passionate but poorly recorded, July 18, 2000
By 
This review is from: Legends of Flamenco Series (Audio CD)
Camaron de Isla's pieces on this CD are wonderful and passionate, especially if you appreciate the (what some call) "moorish" influence - the anguish and emotional languishing of the sung parts.

Unfortunately, the album also showcases other flamenco artists (which would be fine, but it is presented as an album of Camaron's work) and the recording quality is horrific...as though someone whipped out a cassette recorder at an in-home session. I don't believe anything was done to salvage the quality (some digital post-processing)

The saving grace of the CD is its passion, which I know I've said often in this review but it is almost palpable. I will check out other CD compilations and perhaps refer you to one of them.

This review is from: Legends of Flamenco Series (Audio CD)
Uno de las mejores recopilaciones de flamenco jamas grabadas. Te se pone la carne de pollo cada vez que escuchas cada quejio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous CD, August 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends of Flamenco Series (Audio CD)
I think that the poor recording adds to the rawness and passion..which is what flamenco is all about. The songs are on fire and they make me want to dance!
