Remedios Amaya was one of Camarón's favourite cantaoras (female flamenco singers), and they worked together on several occasions. She is one of the best contemporary cantaoras of festive styles. It is the happy palos (forms) which allow her to express all of her talent: bulerías, tangos, alegrías... but she is also comfortable executing other palos, like the soleá and seguiriya.
In her artistic career it is possible to identify two periods that are clearly separated by the style of her singing. Her first records (Luna nueva, 1983, and Seda en mi piel, 1984) were a clear gamble on so-called flamenco-rock. The disastrous result of her participation representing Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest (1983), when flamenco did not arouse the same international interest, and did not enjoy the same recognition as it does today, appeared to have persuaded Remedios Amaya to retire from the stage. This was until she reappeared more powerfully than ever in 1997, alongside Vicente Amigo, doing what she really wanted to do. The work was called Turu Turai (1997). It sold 150,000 copies. It has been followed by other records that have had the same strength, the same success and the same quality. Remedios Amaya is undoubtedly one of the most inspired cantaoras of the last few years. |
