Flamenco: the Land Is Still Fertile-dir.cut-PL
We filmed this feature documentary (one hour, 40 minutes long) in Spain, in and near the city of Jerez de la Frontera, part of the "cradle of flamenco." It includes 15 solos from world-class performers plus one more as an Extra; fascinating interviews; a wonderful narration by flamenco singer Antonio de la Malena; a bit of video from India (where gitanos - Spanish Gypsies - originated) and other material.
Soloists include Antonio el Pipa, Diego del Morao (the Extra), Tía Juana la del Pipa, la Macanita, María del Mar Moreno, Niño Jero el Periquín, and of course Antonio de la Malena.
The documentary, divided into sections, has aired over national television in the United States and screened in prestigious locations in Spain.
