Pata Negra (band)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pata Negra was a Spanish band founded in Seville after the breakup of the band Veneno by Raimundo (* 1959) and Rafael Amador (* 1960), whose music combines elements of rock , blues and flamenco ; the resulting style called the band itself "Blueslería" (composed of "Blues" and " Bulería "). Their first, self-titled album was released in 1981. Today, Pata Negra ("Black Claw"; the term is also used for the Jamón Ibérico ) is an important group in the development of flamenco fusion; their record Blues de la Frontera (1987), which made the blueslería style produced with acoustic and electric guitars public for the first time, is considered one of the best Spanish albums of the 1980s.

In 1978/79 the guitarists Raimundo and Rafael Amador participated in the recording of the record La Leyenda del Tiempo by the flamenco legend Camarón de la Isla , which is considered to be the starting point of the flamenco fusion .
