Volando voy

When one approaches Volando voy, they encounter a flamenco rumba that transcended its genre. The music, born from the pen of Kiko Veneno, first came to life in 1979, as part of the album La leyenda del tiempo by Camarón de la Isla. On that foundational recording, Camarón was accompanied by talents such as Tomatito and Raimundo Amador, under the production of Ricardo Pachón. This song became a benchmark, and its popularity in Spain is undeniable, inviting numerous artists to reinterpret it over time.

La leyenda del tiempo, the album that housed Volando voy, marked a turning point. For Camarón de la Isla, whose real name was José Monge Cruz and who was born in San Fernando, Cádiz, in 1950, this record represented a bold exploration of flamenco, sometimes called "new flamenco." Although its innovative sound generated debate and divided opinions among purists at the time, it has since become consolidated as a fundamental work. The recording took place in a context where Camarón, from a Gitano family and with a childhood marked by flamenco singing in his native Andalusia, dared to fuse styles, leaving an indelible mark on Spanish music.
