La leyenda del tiempo is the tenth album by Spanish flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla, and the first one not to feature his long-time collaborator, guitarist Paco de Lucía. It is regarded as a turning point in the history of flamenco, contributing to the popularization of nuevo flamenco (new flamenco).[1] A commercial failure due to its departure from traditional flamenco, which "scandalised purists", the album has received widespread critical acclaim.[2]

Upon release, the album divided the public "between partisans and critics of Camarón's new flamenco schemes".[4] By the time of Camarón's death, the album began to garner universal critical acclaim. In his review for AllMusic, Don Snowden praised the album describing it as "a bona fide before/after landmark in the flamenco world".[3] Both the title track and especially "Volando voy", a rumba composed by Kiko Veneno, are among Camarón's most popular songs.[4]

The album was included in Tom Moon's 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die.[5]
