Need To Make A Wigwam
Jose Maria Lopez Sanfeliu (Figueras, Gerona, April 3, 1952), better known as Kiko Benen is a English musician. Son of military
homemaker, was born in Figueras, grew up in Cadiz and lies for many years in Seville. He studied Philosophy and traveled throughout Europe and the United States, where he attended concerts by artists who have infludo as Frank Zappa and Bob Dylan, but, interestingly, there also discovered (or rediscovered) the flamenco. In 1975, in an encounter that changed his life, he met the brothers Rafael and Raimundo Amador, with which it forms the group Poison. In 1977 he released an album titled with the name of the group and produced by Ricardo Pachón. Although there had a big impact at the time, is now considered an essential disk English music.
In 1979 he collaborated in the legendary hard time legend Camaron de la Isla The contribution of young Poison in the final outcome of this album was vital. They were times of change. Paco de Lucia traveled the world solo and signed with Tomatito Shrimp, very young, and so far unknown. Ricardo begins to spin the issue, and Kiko says, "Why do not we take verses of Lorca, also of different poems and give his poetry the flamenco music that is screaming?". And so work began. Kiko is recognized primarily as the author of "Volando voy", but also participated in other subjects the album: "My daughter went to sea" (lyrics: FG Lorca / Music: R. Pachon and Kiko Veneno), "Old World" (lyrics: Omar Kayan / Music: Kiko Veneno) and "Homage to Federico" ( Letter: FG Lorca / Music: R. Pachon and Kiko Veneno).
