Bandera de Andalucía, although his claim to fame would come thirty years later, in 1998 with his album Del amanecer which has since sold over 600,000 copies.

Throughout his career, José Mercé has maintained the pure essence of ‘el cante’ and has covered songs as Clandestino, by Manu Chao, Al Alba, of Luis Eduardo Aute, Qué bonito es vivir, by Louis Armstrong, or Te recuerdo Amanda, of Victor Jara. Mi única llave is the most contemporary album of the singer in which he dares three tangos agitanaos.
