I've never been quite sure as to why
Sabicas never generated the popularity that some of his contemporaries in the
flamenco style did. He was one of the great inspirations to the likes of Tomatito, Paco de Lucia, and Serranito. Throughout the 60s and 70s US and European audiences were entranced by the style of Flamenco and fervently published album after album of any flamencero they could find, but Sabicas never joined the advance. Perhaps his unique style correlates to his unique progression through popularity. From the
Romani gypsies, Sabicas had a wide and varied experience throughout his life, from being a working guitarist at the age of 6, to being exiled to South America during the Spanish Civil War with the dancer Carmen Amaya, rumored to be his lover. Listen to this master, he is one of the greatest recorded guitarists in history.
