Camarón y Paco de Lucía Collaborations

Vocalist Camarón de la Isla and guitarist Paco de Lucía turned flamenco on its head when they joined forces in the late '60s, pumping out radical albums throughout the next decade. Lucía's jazz sensibility helped welcome Latin rhythms and rumba licks into the repertoire, while the mischievous Camarón pioneered use of the electric bass—a still-controversial move. Nuevo flamenco starts right here.
