Vicente Amigo
Vicente Amigo emerged as one of flamenco guitar's leading figures in the generation following Paco de Lucía, winning multiple Latin Grammy Awards and establishing his own distinctive compositional voice within the genre's post-de Lucía evolution. His 1997 album "Poeta" is widely regarded as one of the essential modern flamenco guitar recordings, blending traditional forms with orchestral arrangements and a melodic sensibility distinct from his more percussive contemporaries. Amigo's collaborations with major flamenco vocalists, including work backing legendary singers, demonstrated his versatility as both a solo composer and a supporting accompanist within flamenco's traditional cante-and-guitar format. His combination of multiple Latin Grammy wins and his distinctive compositional contributions to post-de Lucía flamenco guitar has made Amigo one of the genre's most significant contemporary figures.
VS
Camarón de la Isla
Camarón de la Isla transformed flamenco singing (cante) through his innovative vocal phrasing and willingness to incorporate rock and jazz instrumentation, becoming the genre's most influential and commercially significant vocalist of the 20th century. His 1979 album "La Leyenda del Tiempo," recorded with electric instrumentation and setting poetry by Federico García Lorca to music, remains one of the most artistically significant and controversial recordings in flamenco history, dividing purists while inspiring generations of younger artists. His long creative partnership with guitarist Paco de Lucía produced a run of recordings in the 1970s widely considered the artistic peak of modern flamenco, combining traditional cante jondo depth with genuinely innovative arrangements. His combination of vocal innovation, genre-expanding recordings, and his catalytic partnership with de Lucía has made Camarón widely regarded as the greatest flamenco vocalist in the genre's history.
