The son of a local traditional musician, Spanish contemporary flamenco guitarist Raimundo Amador
started playing live in Sevilla's streets under the name of Sargento
Platillo at the age of 13. Soon, he began participating in a project
called Los Gitanillos, forming Veneno in 1977, who recorded a
self-titled album that was released by CBS. After teaming up with his
brother, Rafael Amador, a new flamenco band called Pata Negra was born, issuing four albums. When Raimundo Amador decided to start a solo career, he sent a demo to B.B. King,
who invited him to New York. The two were playing songs together such
as "Bolleré" and "Ay Morena" soon after. In 1995, the talented guitarist
formed Gerundina, recording En la Esquina de Las Vegas in 1997 and
Noches de Flamenco in 1998. Two years later, Universal released Un Okupa
En Tu Corazón.
