Antonio Flores was a famed Spanish actor and songwriter. The only male child of renowned actors and singers Lola Flores and Antonio González, he was surrounded by music and performers from a young age. His debut record, Antonio, emerged in 1980. During the '80s, he participated in a number of successful film projects, including Colegas, Calé, and Sangre y Arena. His recording career turned around in the early '90s with the release of his sister's debut record, De Ley, which he wrote and produced. His fourth original release, Cosas Mias, appeared in 1995. It was closely followed by the tragic death of his mother, and only two weeks later, Flores died of a drug overdose in his home in Madrid. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
