The "Argentinita" put the voice, the zapateado and the castanets and Federico accompanies it on the piano. Only in one of them, Anda jaleo, an orchestral accompaniment is heard.The success of these recordings made by the record company "La Voz de su Amo" was immediate and since then these songs are key works of the traditional songbook.
He is thought to be one of the many thousands who were 'disappeared' and executed by Nationalists at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
