Antonio González 'El Pescaílla'

Spanish singer, composer, and flamenco guitar player initially notorious as the patriarch of the "rumba flamenca catalana" a musical genre that he created and launched quite successfully. When in 1958 he married Lola Flores, a celebrated singer and dancer of Andalusian folklore, he became the patriarch of one of the most extraordinary musical dynasties in Spain's history fathering two daughters, Lolita and Rosario, as well as one son Antonio Jr., all of whom would become accomplished singers and performers. Antonio Sr. was also very successful in recordings as a solo artist and as back up guitar and vocalist for wife Lola. Eventually he costarred with Lola in several of her film vehicles as well as appearing with her on television and in endless concert tours all over the world. When Lola and Antonio died, their children continued the family tradition and eventually their grandchildren also delighted audiences with their inherited talents. In spite of Antonio Jr. untimely death at age 33 the Flores-González saga continues.
