"Potro de rabia y miel" is the last studio album of the Spanish singer Camarón de la Isla, released in 1992. In this album, with a cover by Barceló, he is surrounded by Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, etc. The album is made up of tangos, tanguillos, bulerías, but also styles of the depth of taranta, in which he evokes Chacón and El Cojo de Málaga, which make up this Potro de Rabia y Miel.

The recording coincided with the onset of his terminal illness, lung cancer, which would end his life a few months later. Camarón admitted in an interview in El País that his voice was already noticeably ill on this album. The article by Miquel Jurado, published in the same newspaper on 3 July 1992, points out that "this harsh reality is reflected in a sensitivity on the surface of the skin, a constant drama that makes you shudder".

The album was certified gold for sales of more than 50,000 copies. The album took 14 months to record.
