This year is also the one-hundredth anniversary of the historic Granada flamenco contest which has inspired books, shows, conferences and all the things we humans love to come up with when we see round numbers attached to meaningful events that have shaped our lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My own favorite anniversary this year is the upcoming birthday on August 3<sup>rd<\/sup> of our much-admired national treasure, Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez Diaz \u201cFosforito\u201d.&nbsp; Ninety years ago, just 10 years after the Granada contest, and less than 20 before Camar\u00f3n was born, this now legendary singer came into the world in Puente Genil (C\u00f3rdoba).&nbsp; Fosforito recalls an intense flamenco atmosphere in his town, including relatives of his own, singers and guitarists, and at least one dancer. Early on he found flamenco \u2013 or flamenco found him \u2013 and the genre has been profoundly enriched ever since.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Years ago I wrote a lengthy biographical interview with the maestro.&nbsp; The following brief but heart-warming excerpt gives an idea of the hard-scrabble childhood that nurtured Fosforito\u2019s early apprenticeship in flamenco:<\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>In my town, shortly after the Civil War, there\u2019s this bunch of sassy kids. In my house we were 8 siblings in two rooms, and back then the town was smaller, everything was smaller. I would sometimes sleep huddled in a farmer\u2019s cart headed for the wholesale market in the morning when the hustle and bustle would get under way. After making their deals, the men would all toast with strong drinks, and there I was in the in the middle of it all, and everyone singing. We kids would go down under the bridge by the shore of the river, and in our own way we\u2019d organize fandango tournaments, verdiales, or whatever. Then I began to sing in the taverns, I was about 8 years old, like my grandson now, and from then on, well, I began making the rounds of nearby towns. <\/em>(Fosforito)<\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Around 1960 when I began inhaling cante, which quickly overshadowed all my adolescent interests, Fosforito was \u201cthe\u201d flamenco singer. Antonio Mairena was struggling to build a career, Chocolate was a promising young singer, recordings of Pastora and Tom\u00e1s circulated, as well as those of Paquera and Terremoto, while little Mariquilla Vargas was surprising flamenco followers with her intensity, and of course I had a weak spot for singers such as El Gallina, Antonio el Chaqueta or Peric\u00f3n among others who had participated in the ground-breaking Hispavox Ducretet Thomson anthology of 1954, the bible for those of us starting out during that \u201cGolden Age\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Fosforito was above and beyond the rest. If Antonio Mairena would eventually sort out the complexities of sole\u00e1 and siguiriya, Fosforito cut transversally through that wisdom and brilliantly laid out the diversity of mining cante and other branches of fandangos, canti\u00f1as, the so-called \u201cida y vuelta\u201d forms, as well as lesser-known cantes such as sole\u00e1 apol\u00e1, which he not only taught Camar\u00f3n, but helped the rest of us understand thanks to his knowledge and interpretation. Between the two Antonios, the entire repertoire of flamenco was laid out and made available to followers of the art-form via recordings and festivals which were quickly proliferating.&nbsp; I don\u2019t know if anyone ever did a study, but my guess is Fosforito sang at more cante festivals than any other cantaor in history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When he was awarded the Gold Key of Cante in 2005, I collected artists\u2019 reactions to the prize.&nbsp; The words of singer El Pele (C\u00f3rdoba 1954) seem especially apt:<\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The Gold Key of Cante for Fosforito is very well-deserved because when flamenco was poorly considered, it was Fosforito who gave it vitality and relevance, and we can see the proof in his discography\u2026his work has influenced the career of every one of today\u2019s singers. <\/em>(El Pele)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As he is about to celebrate his 90<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, the memory of his plaintive echo continues to sound in my mind, and I feel the most sincere admiration and gratitude towards Fosforito, senior statesman of flamenco, always ready to answer questions and give advice, dignified, elegant and kind. Happy birthday maestro.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33955\" style=\"width: 1310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33955\" class=\"size-full wp-image-33955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/expoflamenco.com\/archivo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/expoflamenco-paquera-con-fosforito-en-la-unio\u0301n-2002-foto-estela-zatania-768x473.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-33955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fosforito, con La Paquera.
