Camarón, complete discography
by José Manuel Gamboa
The style that Camarón most recorded was the "bulería"
(44), going so far as to do a "bulería por seguiriyas".
This is followed in number by "tangos" (20), in the styles
of Extremadura, Cádiz, Triana and Málaga. His "natural
fandangos" (18) are centered on the "cantes" of Antonio
"el de la Calza", "El Rubio" and "Niño
de Camas", but also borrowing others from Caracol), Macandé,
Morente or "el Niño Gloria". Among the "cantiñas"
(popular songs or well-known ditties) we find "alegrías
de Cádiz" (11), "la romera" and "cantiñas
de Pinini". In the case of "soleares" (11), he mostly
repeated the styles of Enrique "el Mellizo", but also
reminiscing those of Alcalá, Triana, "La Serneta"
or the "soleá apolá". He also concentrated
on the variations of Mellizo when recording "tientos"
(7). Although it is difficult to distinguish where the rumba begins
and the tango ends, we can say that he left us with 8 rumbas. In
the case of "seguiriyas" (7), he based them mostly on
the short styles of La Isla and others from Jerez and Triana. He
also recorded "fandangos de Huelva" (7) often. Among the
"cantes" of Levante we find "tarantos" (5),
"tarantas" (4), "mineras de Chacón" (2),
the "fandango minero" (miner's fandango) and the "cartagenera
chica y grande". In the case of "malagueñas"
(2), only one variation of Chacón and the one of Mellizo
are interesting.
The rest of the "cantes" Camarón
has left us are the following: "granaínas" (2),
"sevillanas" (2), "tanguillos" (2), "canasteta",
"fandango del albaicín", "peteneras",
"verdiales", "fandango de lucena", "el
polo", "villancicos", "bamberas", "nana",
"martinete y toná", the "Romance del Amargo"
(2), "LaTarara"(2) and the song "Sere.serenito".
In total, Camarón's recordings surpass 170
"cantes" accompanied successively by Antonio Arenas,
Paco Cepero, Sabicas, Paco de Lucía, Ramón de Algeciras,
Tomatito, Raimundo Amador and Juan Manuel Cañizares.
