La leyenda del tiempo

'La leyenda del tiempo' shattered flamenco conventions by fusing Camarón de la Isla's visceral cante with progressive rock and jazz instrumentation, incorporating electric bass, sitar, and keyboards. The album sets the surrealist poetry of Federico García Lorca and others to this revolutionary sonic backdrop, marking a stark departure from traditional flamenco accompaniment. Though initially a commercial failure that alienated purists, the record is now celebrated as a landmark that inaugurated the 'nuevo flamenco' movement and permanently expanded the genre's boundaries.
