There is no doubt that El Camaron De La Isla has talent. Camaron Con Paco De Lucia II carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Since completing 1973’s ‘CAMINITO DE TOTANA (TARANTO)’, El Camaron De La Isla fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Exciting stuff.
It took me a little time but I ended up loving HERMANITO MIO (SEGUIRIYA). QUE NO SE QUITA CON NA (FANDANGOS) is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. LA JACA QUE YO TENIA (BULERIAS) is simple, dignified and effective, El Camaron De La Isla refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. I listened to the opening track A LA SOMBRA DE UN LAUREL (FANDANGOS) and liked it a lot. El Camaron De La Isla offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. A unique and uplifting song. BUSCO YO MI SOLEA (BULERIAS POR SOLEA) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Blew our minds when we first heard A UN SABIO LE OI DECIR (SOLEA). LAS ESPINAS DE UNA FLOR (MALAGUE A) is such a perfect and optimistic song that things can get just better. The song feels complete.
