Aguileo known as the repetitive and guttural sound with which the partridges warn their species of the presence of imminent hazard. But Camarón is completely different… he would not want any hazard. This two-year-old male partridge who lives in Almería begins to sing as quickly as she hears the primary chords of a guitar.
“I named him Camarón as a result of he sang on a regular basis,” says Juan Carlos, who has cared for him since he was a hen. “He began singing into my hand,” he tells NIUS. As he gained confidence, he started to let him go round the home and accompanied him in every single place. Suddenly sooner or later, taking part in the guitar in the lounge, Camarón started to sing, “as if with the noise of the guitar he got here crashing down.”
To see if this was the results of probability or if Camarón was actually an artist, its proprietor determined to name Kevin Sierra, a guitarist from Tabernas who had carried out with completely different flamenco teams. And as if it had been a casting, they determined to document the session on video.
The guitar and the partridge
“When I noticed her, I used to be amazed,” Kevin sums up the expertise of taking part in for Camarón, the partridge. “At first I used to be a bit stunned,” she tells NIUS, nevertheless quickly she cheered up and even went as far as to sing on his shoulder whereas he performed the guitar. “When I performed it could go off,” explains Kevin, who was in awe of him.
If Kevin performed por soleá, the partridge started to do his cante and when he modified, Kevin’s guitar tailored. “I might be part of her or change the palo for malagueñas”, explains the guitarist, “and if I placed on bulerías, the partridge would not cease and her neck would get swollen and it actually appeared like she was singing bulerías”.

Unable to include his laughter, thirty-year-old Kevin Sierra did his finest to proceed the house live performance. “It’s been probably the most unique efficiency I’ve accomplished”, says the guitarist from Almería, “I’ve performed with many individuals, however by no means for an animal… not to mention an animal that even responds to me”.
“Some partridges sing lots in mating season,” says their proprietor Juan Carlos, “the tough factor is for them to sing within the hand as they do.” It is much more tough to do it accompanied by the guitar of a stranger. But Camarón is like that. “He sings, it is a pleasure to see him”, he tells NIUS, and if he additionally listens to flamenco, there is no one to close him up.
