Born in Moron de la Frontera, El Tenazas learned his art during the era of the legendary cantaor Silverio Franconetti.
His popularization of flamenco through the café cantante was first objected by folklorist Demófilo, who wrote the first biography of Silverio in his book Colección de cantes flamencos.

He learned the Gypsy flamenco songs by listening to Gypsies, and was encouraged to sing by Gypsy singer El Fillo.
