Manuel Oliver Dorado "OLIVER DE TRIANA"
Uno de los contertulios más asíduos de la Peña "La Soleá de Triana", hasta que se fundó en la cercana calle Tejares la Peña "El Sombrero", fue el gran cantaor Manuel Oliver Dorado, quizás el que más matices conocía de este "palo" singular. Manuel había conocido mucho y cada vez que hablaba sentenciaba. Era bajito, pero pura fibra de nervios, tenía siempre un mondadientes en la boca y una impecable mascota en su cabeza, no bebía y no fumaba, pero era capaz de tomarse 14 cafés seguidos. Tenía 70 años cuando yo lo conocí allá por 1975, y una memoria prodigiosa.

Iván Vargas was born in the Sacromonte, in the cave La Rocío to be precise, where he took his first steps at he hand of his family, the Mayas.

Francisco Antonio Toronjo Arreciado (Alosno, June 13, 1928 – Huelva, 1998), known as Paco Toronjo, was a Spanish flamenco singer learned to sing local traditional folk at his home town Alosno. He stayed at his province until he was 20 years old when he became a professional musician. At the beginning of his musical career he sang with his brother Pepe Torojo as a duet. They were known as "Hermanos Toronjo"(Toronjo Brothers).

After his brother's death, he started to develop and record his own style of "fandango", which were very dramatic and based on his own life as the source for lyrics, claiming he sang about the sorrows he lived -- he also started them with "Siguiriyas" as a way to increase the sadness. This style along with his raspy singing voice carried him to be considered by many a part of the top of fandango singers.

He appeared in two movies by the Spanish film director Carlos Saura:"Sevillanas" and "Flamenco."

He died in 1998, since then several monuments had been built in his province of Huelva and a complete biography had been released.
