Camaron - Flamenco Legend

Flamenco singing was dwindling in popularity in Spain until the appearance of Camaron de la Isla.

Thousands lined the streets at his funeral in Andalucia in 1992.

Witness speaks to a guitarist called Marcos - one of Camaron's biggest fans and the author of a recent biography.
