‘Reencuentro’ by Camarón

‘Reencuentro’
by Camarón
is already a gold record in Spain. The power of the
cantaor from La Isla continues to be unquestionable. Fifteen
years after his death, an album with nine previously unreleased
songs reaches fifth place on the Spanish record sales charts
published by the association Promusicae in the tenth week of
2008. It is only behind Estopa, Sergio Contreras, Amy Winehouse
and Michael Jackson. According to the daily newspaper El País,
‘Reencuentro’ is a gold record with 40,000 copies
sold in two weeks. The peculiar thing about ‘Reencuentro’
is that the CD –produced by his son Luis Monge and Maín
Gómez - is packaged in a box set which also includes
a DVD with a documentary and eleven live performances coming
from the RTVE archives, five postcards with historical photos
and a silk-screened T-shirt. Standing out among the cantes now
revealed is a duo with Serrat singing ‘La saeta’,
a potpourri por tangos with the collaboration of La Susi and
the bulería ‘Soy fragüero’ with Tomatito
on guitar.
