Raimundo Amador, in the late seventies
The Sevillian musician, pioneer of fusion flamenco, celebrates his 60th birthday with an album recorded at home and surrounded by friends.
Raimundo Amador has played and recorded with so many musicians that it is easier to list the ones he has not. "There is an album by Def Con Dos in which he says: 'In this album neither Andrés Calamaro nor Raimundo Amador collaborates”, says the Sevillian guitarist in La Venta Bobito, in Valencina de la Concepción, the town of Seville where he is. He moved with his family about 15 years ago and where he has recorded 60th anniversary "Directo en casa", a new job that comes 10 years after "Medio hombre, medio guitarra".
The flamenco guitarist, who opened the doors to fusion with Veneno - along with his brother Rafael and Kiko Veneno - in the seventies and with Rafael patented gypsy rock with Pata Negra, boasts of being a musical "chameleon" and is willing to continue adding bars to the deep tradition of the Amador saga. His new album, the eighth solo since Gerundina released in 1995 with his beloved BB King "El último moicano, el rey", has been recorded live with " a lot of friends "in his home studio and it is a review of his 60 years of" passion for music ", although the album comes out this Friday, when Raimundo Amador has already turned 61 and has been uploaded to the scenarios.
