Rosa Maria

All songs are by Antonio Sánchez, except for the buleria titled 'Con roca de pernal' by Joaquín Carmona. 'Rosamaría' is the hit, a few catchy tangos which accomplished their task.

Caminito de Totana
This album kicks off with the taranto 'Caminito de Totana' and follows with some seguiriyas by Manuel Molina and Juanchi el Manijero. Three different fandangos are included the first ones are by the Niño de Camas, from Huelva the second, and by Antonio el de la Calzá the last ones. There are two consecuitive bulerías by Camaró, although he goes too far with the endings of 'lolailo'. There is a...
La leyenda del tiempo
La Leyenda del Tiempo is one of the best pure Flamenco crossovers where Camarón opens one more different path for creating and enjyoing this genre. In this album only some elements of rock are intertwined with the more consistent Flamenco in Bulerías, soleares, etc. In his day, Camarón said 'The closest I have ever recorded to rock has been 'La leyenda del tiempo,' in it i took a chance and put...
Viviré
'Viviré' is the prelude bulería and has a structure almost identical to the one of 'Gitanos andaluces' by the Sextet, instead on this ocassion José sings and Tomatito is on the second guitar. 'Campanas del alba' is based on the cante for seguiriyas, which Camarón gives a superb interpretation to and is very well arranged by Joan Albert Amargós, who reminds us of Manuel de Falla - which is not a...
Un ramito de locura
The selection of titles is an exquisite one which Carme Linares materializes with grace, sincerity and skill. The album consists of 12 cantes of which the classical arrangements and the variety of palos that compose them stand out. Carmen Linares with Garardo Núñez's trio. Harmony is really what brings the album together once again. But Un ramito de locura also implies that inquisitiveness that...

Agua de mayo
Her uncultivated style has matured with time and is shown in her new release 'Agua de mayo.' Produced in Córdoba by Queco, a person whom Susi only talks of in caring or thankful words. She has needed for someone to care and Queco pampered her. The first tracks are the the attention getters for the album. La Susi's voice has a peculiar veil that seems to stroke in each note and is exciting no...
Que corra de boca en boca
This album's repertoire is comprised of the hardest Flamenco palos like the Soleá, the Seguiriya and the Tonás.
