Arbuniel (Jaén), 1954

Encara no hom disposa de dades clares i contrastades sobre les seves activitats infantils per terres de Jaén. Sembla, en tot cas, que no estaven mancades d’interès.

Al 1964 el trobem a Nou Barris (Barcelona) i a principis dels 70 dóna impuls a la Peña Flamenca Enrique Morente. I a partir d’aquí, amb base a la Ciutat Comtal, ja no pararà d’involucrar-se en mil i una aventures de notable repercussió social, des de l’enderrocament de la planta asfàltica (actualment Ateneu Popular 9 Barris) del barri de Trinitat Nova fins a l’edició i distribució de El libro rojo de los escolares, ja mostrava ben a les clares la seva tendència a perfilar-se com a home-orquestra.

Intuïtiu, agosarat, meticulós, amb un extrem sentit de la realitat i les faves comptades, imprevisible, arrauxat i trencador -en una línia que Kiko Veneno definiria com de “superhéroe de barrio”-, al 1979 fundà el Taller de Músics, que aviat complirà els 30 anys de vida al llarg dels quals ha modificat substancialment l’activitat jazzística i flamenca a la península ibèrica sota la seva inequiparable direcció.

I com que mai sembla tenir-ne prou, ara ha decidit llençar-se sense emmascaraments al món de les arts escènico-musicals amb l’enregistrament d’Home das Bubas, una inclassificable i densa variant de spoken word a la andalunya, la dels altres andalusos, la dels novíssims catalans. Conjuntament amb alguns dels membres que han creat l’associació ‘els altres andalusos’ ha escrit un llibre, manifest clar i evident dels perquès d’aquesta associació.
