Flamenco cantador José Mercé (born José Soto Soto) began singing at the age of six, becoming a soloist in his local church, La Basílica de la Merced in Jerez, while improving his natural skills by participating in <a href="spotify:artist:5XGRM7m4DWQC7zs7oFjTCB">Antonio Gades</a>' theater company. It was during the early '70s that Mercé moved to Madrid to join a new generation of flamenco performers, such as <a href="spotify:artist:5MnhtFXEfqi637k6NfKuZI">Camarón</a> (born <a href="spotify:artist:5MnhtFXEfqi637k6NfKuZI">José Monge Cruz</a>), also known as <a href="spotify:artist:5MnhtFXEfqi637k6NfKuZI">El Camarón de la Isla</a>; <a href="spotify:artist:3wxFXeuHQEq4NubZunCIMe">Tomatito</a> (born <a href="spotify:artist:3wxFXeuHQEq4NubZunCIMe">Manuel Moreno Junquera</a>); and talented guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:3h8OjAdgYXVRoMZ8jFd6Uw">Paco de Lucía</a>. He performed with <a href="spotify:artist:5XGRM7m4DWQC7zs7oFjTCB">Gades</a> until the mid-'80s, traveling halfway across the world in the process, and later released a string of albums that featured a modern, commercially successful interpretation of the flamenco tradition. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
