Did Bambino have a partner?
Bambino was always an artist who stood out from the rest, but there was always a question mark in his life and that was whether he was gay, since during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco homosexual acts were punished with prison sentences.
Although there is no official statement about his sexual orientation, he once mentioned: “men, women, I don’t make differences, but mine has always been wild lovess,” he said in an interview with Juan Pablo Silvestre.
There is no information if any of them had a partner, but the truth is that they are currently a gay icon, according to Spanish media.
“He was an excluded person. Because of his musical style, groundbreaking in the capital of flamenco orthodoxy, and because of his sexuality, he could not stay afloat within the margins of Urethra.“said Paco Ortiz, director of Algo Salvaje, a documentary about Bambino’s life.
