Pata Negra is a Spanish flamenco-blues band, [1] established by brothers Raimundo Amador (singer and guitarist, b. 1959 in Seville) and Rafael Amador (guitarist and cantaor, b. 1960 in Seville) after the breakup of their previous band Veneno. [2] [3] Their style of derivative rhythms based on flamenco nuevo and blues, which they titled "blueslería", made an impact on other modern flamenco music bands. [4] [5] The Amador brothers, as Pata Negra, recorded five records between 1978 and 1989.
