Camarón, complete discography
by José Manuel Gamboa

5. 'Soy caminante'

It was the "boom" period of "Las Grecas", and some of their styles can be heard here, mostly in the "bulerías"

 
   

"Soy caminante" was his album released in 1974. The picture on the front jacket cover is the same one used in the previous album, but with another shade and design. "Camarón de la Isla" appears in larger type than Paco de Lucía, whose "special collaboration" is reduced to "collaboration". Ramón de Algeciras continues to play second guitar. Antonio Sánchez still appears as the author in the credits.

It was the "boom" period of "Las Grecas", and some of their styles can be heard here, mostly in the "bulerías" -"Me dieron una ocasión" is memorable- and the tangos where Camarón uses his voice brilliantly. In the "tientos" he chooses from the Cádiz source and he decorates them with "camaronerias", the same ones he sticks into the "seguiriyas" of José de Paula and Paco Ia Luz. The "alegrías", with airs of Pinini, seem a bit spiritless because of the insistent rhythm imposed by the hand- clapping. In the "soleares" of Cádiz, both Camarón and Paco are superb. The work is completed with the standard "tarantos", fandangos of "El Camas" and other of Lucena.

In christmas Polygram launched two singles of christmas carols interpreted by Camarón: "La Virgen María" and "A Belén Pastores".
