Francisco Tomás Pavón Cruz, brother of La Niña de los Peines, was regarded by aficionados as one of the purest and most uncompromising cantaores of his generation, favoring austere, lesser-commercial forms like the toná, martinete, and debla over crowd-pleasing styles. He recorded only a handful of sessions — most notably in 1927, backed by guitarist Niño Ricardo — and largely avoided professional company work, which meant true recognition of his artistry came mostly after his death in 1952.
