		He settled in Madrid by '12, becoming recognized as the unrivalled singer of his day; he toured Argentina '13 and was a judge in the famous flamenco contest at Granada '22.
		With his favourite accompanist Ramon Montoya he composed harmonic adaptations of Andalusian songs; malagueñas were his trademark.
		His melodious, occasionally feminine voice (lubricated by limitless alcohol), theatrical style and tendency to play down the harsher gypsy elements of the genre brought new audiences to flamenco, as well as a good income and some opprobrium from later traditionalists like Ricardo Molina.

	Flamenco Articles by Alain Faucher

		An already well-accepted technique by the time of Ramón Montoya, it's origin can be traced to the remote past since it is apparent that the use of the thumb is the most basic and fundamental of all flamenco guitar techniques.
		But it is probably in the 'tango gitanos from the L.P. "Serenata Andaluza" where he demonstrates this effect at peak virtuosity, similar to Ramón Montoya's style.
