Antonio Carmona and Kiko Veneno collaborate on the album of the
former member of Pata Negra

Flamenco-world.com, October 2003

Raimundo Amador says he's "more rocking and more flamenquillo than ever". The Sevillian singer and guitarist, former member of the groups Veneno and Pata Negra, releases 'Isla Menor', a record which follows 'Un okupa en tu corazón' (2000) and 'Noche de flamenco y blues' (1998). The album, whose title pays homage to the place where his Sevillian house is located, is produced by Fernando Illán and enjoys the collaborations of Antonio Carmona and Kiko Veneno.

Raimundo Amador

Antonio Carmona, vocalist of Ketama, sings with Raimundo Amador in a song entitled 'Marina', with lyrics by Santiago Auserón "that tell the story of a love affair". Kiko Veneno collaborates on a new version of the mythical song 'Los Managers', already included on 'Guitarras Callejeras' by Pata Negra and 'Puro Veneno' by Kiko Veneno himself. Rosendo puts the force of his guitar and his voice into the tune 'No me gusta el fútbol', a song which shows the more rock side of Raimundo Amador.

'Fúmala'

The letter of presentation of this album, the seventh solo one by the brother of Rafael and Diego Amador, is the single 'Fúmala'. This song relapses into the brotherly union between flamenco, rock and blues, a fusion which makes up Raimundo Amador's musical trademark. The single is one of the ten cuts on this record, whose lyrics are signed by Pulgar, Kiko Veneno, Santiago Auserón and Los Delinquentes, among others.
