Archive material and source history
Los Amaya formed in the 1970s in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, with brothers Rafael and Santiago Amaya and their cousin Manolo. They started playing in local bars and festivals, working out their sound before recording anything. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1980, and the following year they released "Vete," which became one of their better-known songs.
Their music was flamenco-based but had a contemporary feel that connected with audiences beyond traditional circles. The band's performances were known for their energy, with Rafael handling most of the vocals and Santiago on guitar. They put out several albums through the 1980s, including "Yo Soy Gitano" in 1982 and "Bulerías" in 1984.
In the 1990s, Los Amaya faced some difficulties, including a legal dispute with their former record label. Some of their lyrics also drew criticism at the time. The band continued performing with various lineup changes, though the Amaya brothers remained at the center of it.
