00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:20.800
Thanks!

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:22.199
Good evening everyone!

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:26.920
Thank you for joining us
for this psychedelic moment.

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.320
Again?

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.759
Well, we've been playing for two hours.

00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:39.000
One night, I had a dream,
one of those that seem very real.

00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:46.120
I was boarding a plane
which was practically empty.

00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.599
My seat was the one
right next to Paco de Lucía.

00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:54.760
But I couldn't recognize the airplane,
it wasn't a normal plane.

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.079
It was a strange plane...

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.919
After a while I ask Paco:
Where are we going to do this concert?

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.919
He said :
They didn't tell you? We're flying to the moon.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.520
A film by
Emilio BELMONTE

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.479
AT 18, JORGE PARDO
MEETS PACO DE LUCÍA.

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.479
HE FOLLOWED HIM FOR 20 YEARS,
AS A MEMBER OF HIS LEGENDARY

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.080
SEXTET THAT CHANGED
THE HISTORY OF FLAMENCO.

00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:00.560
JORGE PARDO INTRODUCES NEW INSTRUMENTS
IN FLAMENCO, FLUTE AND SAXOPHONE.

00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.639
OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS, THE "MAESTRO"
OF FLAMENCO-JAZZ FUSION HAS REPRESENTED,

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.800
THE EVOLUTION OF FLAMENCO CULTURE
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.

00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.840
Look,
I've got some pictures.

00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.039
I'm not usually a big collector.

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.240
But sometimes I open the draws
and I find things.

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.719
Look at this one with Paco.

00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.919
I have no idea what year it is.

00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.919
That's my dad.

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:39.080
My brother must have taken them.

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.840
That's me.

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.479
A little younger.

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.039
Look,
this one with Paco too.

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.599
That was probably in Japan.

00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.800
Here I am, Rubem,
Joaquin Grilo.

00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.599
And Paco playing the clown.

00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.680
Hey, How's it going?

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.040
It's very complicated, Jorge.

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:28.759
How can I organize a concert
with only ten tickets sold?

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.680
No joke,
is it really that bad?

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.680
You deserve better
than a cheap show with 30 people.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.240
You're "Jorge Pardo",
you've sold out halls all your life.

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.439
But what are you doing now?

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.639
What is it?
Listen, it’s all about promotion, you know.

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.000
It's not because
people don't like it.

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.480
You’re telling to me
how to do my job?

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.360
After all this time
that you've known me ?

00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.199
If people don't like something,
I can't sell it!

00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:53.920
I'm not a magician.

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.879
I'm not the kind of person who does
what people like.

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.120
I've always played things that I liked,
that's the idea.

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.959
No matter if I'm playing at Carnegie Hall
or in a little club, I don’t care.

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.519
Thank you very much, good evening.

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.639
The song that you're going
to hear is the very first one

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.439
that I learned from the singer Camaron.

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:45.000
It was dedicated to a woman
he admired a lot.

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.480
“The Pearl of Cadiz.”

00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.160
To express the pain, the cry,
you have to live it, you have to feel it.

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.839
There's no book or method to learn it,
it's a live learning experience.

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.680
As I was in that environment
I realized

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.240
that my flute and saxophone could play
these songs like no other instrument.

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:21.360
I felt that life had put me in the right place
to say something different.

00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:28.160
So that you can bend,
lament, break a note

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.159
with my instruments
just like a singer would.

00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.240
It's Pedro's rooster.

00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:49.600
The one that wakes me up
at five in the morning.

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:28.120
It's just the opposite:
I'm telling you I don't care what you do.

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.639
I never wanted you to be a musician,
as long as you did something you liked.

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.120
The problem is...

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.919
- You told me yourself…
- Told you what ?

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.679
Since I'm not a musician.

00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.399
That I don't give you
enough attention.

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.759
It's true that you pay more
attention to the young musicians

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.639
who play with you than
you pay attention to me.

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.279
It's not a question
of paying attention or not.

00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.080
It's just that they’re colleagues.

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.360
- Music colleagues
- Exactly!

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.080
I fucking know that,
I know that.

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.240
The same way you have yours
with whom you have a certain complicity.

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.879
- And no matter if they're 17 or 50.
- I know.

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.600
But, anyway...

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:22.639
Maybe I should have been more strict
with you about music.

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.279
But whether for the piano
or for the guitar,

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.919
it was never the right time,
you never wanted to.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.360
You'd disappear for months
when you were on tour with Paco.

00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.159
You were never at home,
so I didn't have a point of reference.

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.720
« Miguel, do this or don't do that. »

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.720
There was also some kind of pact,

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:51.440
« Do not mix what happened at home
and what happened outside. »

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.919
I remember when you were sending postcards
from Chicago, Los Angeles...

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.360
We'd run to the living room
to answer the phone when you were calling.

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.759
Fuck, there must be an
eight-hour time difference.

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.480
For me it was completely crazy.

00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:35.240
I don't know if I'm a famous artist,
or a respected one.

00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:46.159
On the other hand, I need recognition
to be able to continue to keep my freedom

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.759
and give the audience
the best part of me.

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.159
I've never been interested
to be a star.

00:11:55.360 --> 00:12:00.360
What I want the public to know
about me is the music.

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.159
There's no better project than this one,
it doesn't exist.

00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.200
That’s true.

00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.919
We got into this together.

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:27.360
When the project was born,
I loved this "electro" style.

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:33.440
But we could go back
to the guitar, double bass, clapping.

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.759
That's what everyone's doing now.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:42.720
Precisely, they're all doing what you invented,
and we're not taking advantage of it!

00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:49.320
What?

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.480
- Am I supposed to give you courage?
- No, you don't.

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.320
It should be the opposite.

00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.000
It’s been three years
that we’ve had this "electro" project.

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.679
We released two records.

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:08.039
Yet, we haven't been able
to break through.

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:14.360
We didn't succeed to get into
another kind of scene,

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.360
outside jazz and flamenco.

00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:22.240
Like a more "general" festival
or an electronic music festival.

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.399
What we have is what we have.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.840
I'm not gonna start
worrying about that.

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.320
But it’s still something to consider,

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.240
we don't have anything
more going with that band.

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.000
Since we've had this group,
it's the first time, in a very long time,

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:47.799
that we've got nothing to look forward to.

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.279
What can we do about it.

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.960
That tune, I took it from one of yours,
El Torta!

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.279
Is that right or not?

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:26.680
Flamenco started to grow with you,
with Paco de Lucía.

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.279
I tell you sincerely,
and that's what's most important.

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.240
Because their time has now passed.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.319
They did the most important,
they put down the foundations.

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.799
Now it's important
that flamenco opens up to the world.

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.960
And you all,
and more precisely you, "Maestro".

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:50.680
You have no idea
how much you carry us.

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.480
Because we recognize
you as the great "Maestro"

00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:57.200
and a great flamenco musician!

00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.319
Let me tell him something.

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:02.160
You're the guardian of our music!

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.880
I am telling you.

00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.119
God gave the same to both of them.

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.640
My goodness...

00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.359
What bad manners!

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.119
Bad manners...

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:32.119
I've never had them.

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:36.720
And God save me from having them.

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:38.640
I never had them.

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:43.440
And God save me from having them.

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:58.440
Tonight I'm the one who decides,
tomorrow it'll be anyone's choice.

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:09.920
Tonight it's me who decides,
tomorrow it'll be anyone's choice.

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.359
Tomorrow decides who wants

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:19.359
Tonight I'll hoist my flag
on every street.

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:27.640
I have my bag full
full of flowers.

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.000
Jerez is The rhythm.

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:47.799
This precious treasure is kept safe
by the Flamenco families.

00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.680
It's a children's game
pushed to the point of virtuosity.

00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:01.319
Jerez is deep and light at the same time.

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.440
The young look old,
the old look young.

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:08.319
All in a merry chaos.

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.720
All the purity is a forgotten mixture.

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.920
It is said to be pure because,
we have forgotten its origins.

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.440
But it's clear that when
you look deep into flamenco,

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:52.200
its origins, just like jazz,
are a blend of styles.

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.480
We find Berber rhythms,
African polyrhythms, 3 beat rhythms.

00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:02.359
There are Sephardic songs,
many of them also come from old folklore.

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:06.240
And, of course,
we find the Gypsies' touch.

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:14.480
That incredible taste of the gypsies
to do things with brio.

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.680
This capacity to be
at ease with beautiful things.

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.759
Without the Gypsies,
we couldn't talk about flamenco.

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.880
- It was my own son who told me that.
- That you're already old?

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:59.559
Yes, he told me:
Dad, you're completely has-been.

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.519
Because flamenco...

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.680
They're bringing it forward,
with weird notes.

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:22.480
Yes, we'll see what
they do with it in 20 or 30 years.

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:30.200
We'll see, but one thing is fundamental:
It is from the root that the olive tree is born.

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.440
Here we are,
in the neighborhood of 3000.

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.240
Well, we live here,
gleefully.

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:46.920
You've lived in five-star hotels,
all over the world, in luxury.

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.319
- But for you, luxury is this.
- Absolutely, being here and with my family.

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.599
And making sure everything runs well here.

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:58.400
That's important, too.

00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:04.759
Knowing that you can transmit to young people,
everything you've learned.

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:10.119
And to know that you're helping
to make things better for people here.

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:18.160
Exactly, it's very important to instill
some values to the children here.

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.960
Respect, discipline,
the value of things.

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.160
It's not that easy.

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:32.319
And also make sure
to provide them means.

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.599
To give them prospects, too.
interesting futures.

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.000
Look, there's the rooster.

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:49.000
How is that rooster, huh?

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.559
“Let him film it", that's all right with me.
You know that not everybody can film here.

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.960
"Let him film" he says, that's great!
that's great!

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:08.480
Let's go say hello.

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:25.559
Lol take our picture.

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.839
That's my Jorge!

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.240
Visiting the
"Las 3000" neighborhood.

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.920
Hi, Rycardo.

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.279
Do you think we’re going to party tonight?
Will the charm work?

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.039
Well, I have to go,
the train's coming.

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.839
I'm ready for tonight, no doubt.

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.920
Cheers to you Jorge.

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.960
Guaranteed vintage.

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.400
My grandfather used to tell me that,

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:34.720
they were put in the barracks
where horses had been kept a few days before.

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:39.440
They used antiseptic,
to kill insects and germs.

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:43.079
And gave each family a sheet.

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:47.359
The sheets were arranged
as to keep the families apart.

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.279
They could even be fifty families.

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.440
Just gypsies,
all living in hangars.

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.319
Separated by a single sheet.

00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:59.599
And so you can understand that

00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.480
on rainy days,
no one went to work in the rice paddies.

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.759
On these days
they would meet and party.

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.640
Sometimes they even invented weddings.

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.759
Hey you, "You're going to marry him",
they dressed the couple and took them on their shoulders.

00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.799
it was completely tribal.

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:52.559
When I wake up in the morning,
I have lyrics that come back to me.

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.160
Lyrics that my grandmother
used to sing to me.

00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.279
And this past echos in me all the time.

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.480
My flamenco is infused with it.

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:17.240
Some people find that my music
is dark sometimes.

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.799
That's because I'm looking for that darkness.

00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:28.160
The Solea that is played in Lebrija is not "pretty".
It's a Solea that hurts.

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.599
God is going to punish you.

00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:42.119
God is going to punish you.

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:47.079
You will love someone
who doesn't love you.

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:53.880
That was my case with you.

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:59.039
You will love someone
who doesn't love you.

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:05.400
That was my case with you.

00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:11.519
I have a huge pain,

00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:17.519
it will follow me to my death
and I will tell no one.

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:24.880
And I will tell no one.

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.160
Jorge, it's me.

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.880
I'm trying to call you,
but you're not answering.

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:49.839
You must be working
or you’re busy, I don't know.

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:56.559
I've been calling you for days
and you just canceled our weekend.

00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.839
You could at least
give me an explanation.

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:07.440
Or at least tell me what's going on.
I have a life to organize.

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.039
We've been planning this for a long time.

00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:17.039
And now you stand me up
without an explanation or anything.

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:29.519
We need more complicity,
otherwise don't get yourself into a relationship.

00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.480
I don't think I'm too intrusive.
I don't get into your business.

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:40.559
I respect concerts
and tours and all that goes with it, but...

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:45.200
But...
But I think you're going too far.

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:49.119
I don’t think it can work any longer.

00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:25.880
The Pamplona Flamenco Festival
didn't give us any answers.

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.880
Well, we'll see about that later.

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:36.159
Next, we've got a proposal for
an "exceptional" concert in a festival.

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:40.679
A flamenco meeting
with your musician friends

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.360
Focusing on the flamenco-jazz fusion
of which you are considered…

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:49.440
« Founding father ».

00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:53.480
It's not a tribute.
I know you wouldn't like that.

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:57.519
It's something we disagree about,
although I'd be interested.

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:05.559
It is a great opportunity to be in the spotlight
with a "special" gig.

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:12.880
To attract attention with a title like:
"Jorge Pardon Reunion"... "& friends

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.519
"World flamenco jazz",
that kind of thing...

00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:18.800
Come on, let's do it.
It's dynamite!

00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:37.960
I know that my intuition
has always been an excellent guide.

00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:45.599
Maybe this concert proposal is a sign
to take a new way.

00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.679
A way full of challenges and surprises.

00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:57.320
A new opportunity
to keep believing in art, and life as art.

00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:06.840
Such peace, man, such tranquility.

00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.920
Yeah, until we arrived.

00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.280
And we make a fucking mess.

00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:20.679
Do you have any projects?

00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:28.440
Well, it's a good thing you ask me,
I’ve got something for you.

00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:31.840
Be careful,
I could say yes.

00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:40.400
I've been approached to organize
a kind of special concert.

00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:47.920
And I want you
to be part of it man.

00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:53.599
I think there's about
$50,000 per artist.

00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:56.440
That's cheap!

00:44:56.679 --> 00:44:58.400
However, we must schedule rehearsals.

00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:02.519
So there's a large cake to share,
this is rare these days.

00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:06.840
You know that with me
there's always money.

00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.239
- The projet's going to be called "Trance".
- Trance? Damn!

00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:17.000
- That's all?
- Trance all the way!

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.320
That's the feeling
that I pursue every moment.

00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.159
When you are talking to someone

00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:28.719
or when you are looking
at a beautiful landscape...

00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:32.079
That emotion that makes you
free yourself from the world,

00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:33.920
from whether this is good or bad,

00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:36.320
from always judging:

00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.000
Am I right or am I wrong?
Is this right or is that wrong?

00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:40.639
Yes or no?

00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:41.880
Fuck it!

00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:44.239
Neither yes or no,
neither right or wrong.

00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:45.440
You abandon yourself!

00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:48.039
And you jump into the deep end

00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:51.960
without thinking about anything else,
if you play a D or a F.

00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:57.920
At that moment you free yourself,
and that is the trance.

00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.119
If you get good artists it'll be great.

00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.119
So that's the concept

00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.639
You can count on me,
I want to be there.

00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.840
Excellent!
I knew I could rely on you.

00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:28.760
I was a teenager when
I fell in love with jazz.

00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.639
Its crazy rhythms.

00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:33.679
The freedom that interpreters transmitted.

00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.199
I learned a lot from its human vocation

00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:41.440
and its ability to break down
cultural boundaries.

00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:46.559
All of which Chick knows well
and contributed greatly to it.

00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:36.079
You'd think there'd be a big difference
between jazz and flamenco.

00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:41.079
Yet in the end,
they have a lot in common.

00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:46.400
Like bringing what's elitist to the popular,
and vice versa.

00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:54.440
Obviously the cult of rhythm, the swing,

00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:58.000
the groove, the "soniquete",
the magic of the "duende",

00:48:58.119 --> 00:48:59.920
or the mystery of the blues.

00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:06.039
The love of the imperfect note,
impure, but so full of meaning.

00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:04.159
I met Paco in the halls
of the Phillips record company.

00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.639
I was about 18 or 19.

00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:12.559
One day, Paco came along.

00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:17.119
He was recording the album
"Paco de Lucía plays Manuel de Falla."

00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:20.320
He said to us: " Would you like to come
and improvise on it? »

00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:23.480
Of course we went there,
and that's how it all started.

00:53:48.519 --> 00:53:54.000
I didn't belong
to any flamenco family.

00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:56.880
I had no connection with
this flamenco world.

00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:58.840
I loved this music
but as an amateur.

00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:05.320
And of course,
to be with someone like that,

00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:08.360
that opens the big flamenco book for you.

00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:16.960
For me it's been the best learning.

00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:50.519
Hey Angel, what's up?

00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:54.719
I'm in Paris with Duquende
and Diego del Morao.

00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:59.960
I'm going to see if I can
tell them about the concert,

00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:01.920
to take them on board with us.

00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:09.639
Despite the love I had for him.

00:56:11.639 --> 00:56:17.480
Despite the love I had for him.

00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:23.239
Paco de Lucía is gone forever.

00:56:23.320 --> 00:56:31.639
He is gone forever.

00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:36.719
And I'll be in Seville next week.

00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:40.639
I'm going to try to see Farruquito
and Ana Morales.

00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:48.000
I would love it if they could come so that
we can have some dance.

00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:51.239
We will see if they are available.

01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:41.280
I'm staying more days
over here in the end.

01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:42.119
Really?

01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:45.639
Yes, because next week
I have more work to do.

01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:49.360
It's not worth leaving
and coming back again.

01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:51.079
I'm already here...

01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:57.119
In the end I'm going to have to
come and live here, with so much...

01:00:57.400 --> 01:00:59.000
So much castings.

01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:01.280
Well...

01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:06.679
I'm not going to stop you.

01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:10.719
But I'm not going to
encourage you.

01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.039
You know my life.

01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:20.159
One day here, one day there.
I'm everywhere.

01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:27.440
Unfortunately, I can't
offer you anything else...

01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.079
you don't already know.

01:01:32.719 --> 01:01:37.360
I live here in Madrid
but I'm away a lot.

01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.639
I won't be here all the time either.

01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:47.559
I'll be in Madrid most of the time,
but I'll be working also in Barcelona.

01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:50.360
I'm going to spend
the whole summer there.

01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:57.039
I'm starting to get work in Paris,
I have an agent looking after me there.

01:01:57.239 --> 01:02:01.800
So you see,
I'm not going to be clingy...

01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:04.119
All the time.

01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:09.159
Well,
obviously things are clear for you.

01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:12.039
For me yes, but not for you?

01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:16.440
Clearly, it's the life I am living

01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:21.840
and I don't want it to be a problem.

01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.960
To be frustrating.

01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:31.719
Even for me.

01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:42.599
He's in the back on the right.

01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:50.440
Damn it, Nino,
it's crazy to see you here.

01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:52.079
It's so good to see you here, man.

01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.360
We're with you, we're in the hall.
Have fun.

01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:57.559
I brought the flute in case.

01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:19.400
Lights of Madrid

01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:23.960
have always fascinated
artists from all horizons.

01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:28.519
Even though the fishpond
has always been in Andalusia.

01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:32.320
Madrid has received Flamenco
artists from everywhere

01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:39.480
looking for a future
and maybe accomplish their dreams.

01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:52.079
Success in Madrid creates
a lot of job opportunities:

01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:59.159
There's the music companies,
the media, the audience.

01:03:59.880 --> 01:04:03.480
So, everything is here:
the dream of every flamenco artist.

01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:42.159
You're dressed like a real gypsy!

01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:51.079
Well Pepe, what's the state of flamenco?

01:05:51.159 --> 01:05:55.960
You're still a kid,
but you've got some perspective.

01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:58.199
Don't call me "the old man" yet...

01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:02.559
- Could you imagine we'd be here one day?
- Never.

01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:06.920
All the travel, the fusion, the jazz,
musical meetings.

01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.159
I never could have imagined it, Jorge.

01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:11.960
I really couldn't.

01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:18.000
We've opened a door, and today...

01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:25.519
To be here with these
three giants that you are.

01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:30.440
All young, the only one who’s on the wane is me,
but don't say anything to anyone.

01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:35.599
Well, you know we're all at the end.

01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:03.639
Are we all at war with industry?
What's the problem?

01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:07.039
Maybe they don't like us
or we don't like them.

01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:09.400
I don't think
we have much to complain about.

01:07:09.480 --> 01:07:13.119
We're the only ones
who can do what we do.

01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:17.800
We are not accountable to anyone.

01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:23.039
When we play somewhere, I don't even know
what my line-up is going to be, I don't know!

01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:27.039
Freedom,
the industry doesn't like it.

01:07:27.159 --> 01:07:31.199
Anyway, the media doesn't cover
things as much as they should.

01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:35.920
They don't make the difference
between culture and fun anymore.

01:07:36.280 --> 01:07:39.199
It's not culture that's being given to us.

01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:35.960
When I listen to Jorge, to Tio Pepe,
Caramelo or you, of course.

01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:41.079
there's an identity,
and I think that is what it is.

01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:43.560
Everyone can tell their own story.

01:08:43.640 --> 01:08:47.720
And a story can be told in a thousand ways,
with words, or with notes.

01:08:49.159 --> 01:08:50.560
Health and freedom.

01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:10.439
Listen, about this concert in June...

01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:14.000
Look, I'm calling people.
I'm really getting into it.

01:09:14.279 --> 01:09:16.199
They are all good friends of mine.

01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:19.399
I think I'm going to lose
my friendship with some of them,

01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:22.039
because at some point
I’ll have to tell them:

01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:24.920
Hey, look, this is the money we have,
There is no more.

01:09:25.199 --> 01:09:29.640
Because, you also always
have to struggle with money. 

01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:33.239
I don't know if one day I'll have,
one glorious day,

01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:37.319
I'll have a good budget to do
something worthy in my life.

01:09:37.520 --> 01:09:40.199
Because everything is just getting by,
getting by and getting by...

01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:42.399
And I want to keep
doing my music, 

01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:44.960
the music I do today. 

01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:47.600
What comes to my mind now.

01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:51.560
I also find that people
want the things of yesterday.

01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:57.199
They like the bread baked
the day before, from last week...

01:09:57.560 --> 01:09:59.119
But why is this?

01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:04.520
They don't trust you
for what you're doing today.

01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:07.560
So you’re burdened with this.  

01:10:07.680 --> 01:10:11.239
They trust you for what you
did 20 years ago, deal with it.

01:10:11.640 --> 01:10:15.000
But they don't believe in
what you are fucking doing now!

01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:19.279
Well, I feel poisonned with that.

01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:24.840
Let's meet up and have some aperitif
or whatever, right?

01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:28.560
It's not all going to be hardships.

01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:31.640
Let's have a good time.

01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:34.319
Well, buddy, take care of yourself.

01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:36.399
Come on, see you.

01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:21.119
When you start making music,

01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:24.920
it's not about,

01:11:25.520 --> 01:11:29.960
being famous or making money.

01:11:33.159 --> 01:11:42.199
It's to enter the world of the invisible,
the immaterial, whitch transcends you.

01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:50.399
I think the first musicians were healers.

01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:56.399
Some of them still are.
maybe we all are.

01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:02.199
When people experience an emotion,
it's healthy for their spirit, for their soul.

01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:09.079
Unfortunately
all that has changed today.

01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:12.359
Today we talk about showbiz
where everything is measured.

01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:18.239
We know how much each person earns,
who is the most successful.

01:12:20.479 --> 01:12:26.680
And all these things of showbiz
make us forget what’s essential:

01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.720
The link between the music and the spirit.

01:19:28.319 --> 01:19:32.119
- How's New York?
- I'm on the road every day with my little harp.

01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:35.439
Getting on trains and moving everywhere.

01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:38.119
It's just like that.

01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:43.720
I'm trying to prove that you can use
the harp in any kind of music.

01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:48.399
You've given your instrument wings,
you can do anything with it.

01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:50.720
you can even do flamenco!

01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:54.880
Great, I've loved flamenco since high school.

01:19:55.439 --> 01:20:00.560
Yes, I'm always curious to see how
the harp works in all styles.

01:20:01.760 --> 01:20:05.439
I'm gonna try to bring together
a lot of Flamenco's artists.

01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:10.880
And a maximum of musicians
that I've met in the last few months.

01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:16.000
Subramaniam,
Diego del Morao...

01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:20.000
Where do I sign?

01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:22.439
So, Edmar,
you have to be there.

01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:24.680
Great, it's an honor.

01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:28.960
We're going to do this concert
with all these musicians

01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:31.359
and we're getting into a trance,
it's gonna be crazy.

01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:55.039
I have traveled all over the United States.

01:20:55.439 --> 01:20:57.520
Of the USA I've seen...

01:20:58.439 --> 01:20:59.520
Everything!

01:21:00.760 --> 01:21:02.159
With Paco de Lucía?

01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:03.760
With Paco de Lucia and Chick Corea.

01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:21.560
Hi Angel.

01:22:21.600 --> 01:22:24.000
I'm still in Brooklyn.

01:22:24.800 --> 01:22:27.960
It's freezing cold, we've even got snow.

01:22:28.680 --> 01:22:31.800
Nothing special, the recordings went well.

01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:34.800
But damn it,
I read your messages and...

01:22:35.119 --> 01:22:37.439
I can't ask them like this.

01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:45.600
But worse than that,
I'm inviting them without a date.

01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:49.359
It used to be May,
now it's June but I don't know the day.

01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:52.159
They're all overbooked.

01:22:52.479 --> 01:22:55.760
And even if they're in,
it could come down in flames

01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:59.640
if we don't solve the question
of the date and the budget.

01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.920
Anyway, don't put pressure on me.

01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:07.000
Just let me know how it goes,
as soon as possible.

01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:10.920
Well, I hope everything's all right there, hug.

01:23:33.239 --> 01:23:36.279
We have to stop going in circles.

01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:38.800
From the 12th to the 16th.

01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:42.239
Who should I call?
Who do you have to call?

01:23:42.359 --> 01:23:44.920
And we see who's coming, that's all.

01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:49.880
Let's divide up the guest list.

01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:56.119
Otherwise you invite them directly.

01:23:56.199 --> 01:23:58.119
I've already seen them all

01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:03.119
they know about the concert,
they know they're invited.

01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:06.039
Yeah, but we have to get
on with it, Jorge, and fast.

01:24:06.279 --> 01:24:10.399
Now! And I'm still here
with a list that's not clear.

01:24:10.479 --> 01:24:16.760
We need to split up tasks,
see who can and can't, and clear it up this week.

01:24:17.279 --> 01:24:22.560
I don't want to put pressure on you,
it wouldn't be productive.

01:24:22.640 --> 01:24:24.960
It is not a symphony orchestra either.

01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:28.520
There are twenty names,
so twenty phone calls to make.

01:24:28.720 --> 01:24:32.039
There may be twenty names,
but there won't be twenty artists on stage.

01:24:32.720 --> 01:24:35.119
But that's what I've planned.

01:24:36.119 --> 01:24:39.800
We'll have what you see there.

01:24:40.119 --> 01:24:42.399
Ok, we'll see.

01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:46.279
I hope we can make it,
and luck be with us.

01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:47.680
Of course we will.

01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:49.640
As usual.

01:25:28.279 --> 01:25:32.279
I'm very happy to join you in Madrid.

01:25:32.359 --> 01:25:36.479
And to share this moment
with all the Maestros, there.

01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:38.279
A real gift...

01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:41.840
I've got the tracks, they're great.

01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:46.760
I can't wait to meet you in Madrid.

01:25:46.920 --> 01:25:51.960
I'm gonna love playing the Bulerías,
Ole!

01:25:52.159 --> 01:25:56.159
I'd love to be there, but it's bad timing.

01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:01.079
You know I'm with you with all my heart.

01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:07.000
I give you a big kiss,
and I'm sure everything's going to be all right.

01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:12.079
- How did it go today, Miguel?
- Fine, fine.

01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:15.960
How about you and your concert?

01:27:16.119 --> 01:27:21.159
Let's not talk about it.
Let me enjoy the barbecue.

01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:24.000
I don't really know.
I got myself into a mess...

01:27:24.159 --> 01:27:27.520
Yes, but it includes a lot of people
and it's not really my cup of tea.

01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:33.119
I like to play with my little band,
and that is what makes me happy.

01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.279
So many people, it's becoming complicated.

01:27:36.479 --> 01:27:41.079
The one who doesn't come, the one who was supposed
to come but can't come anymore...

01:27:42.119 --> 01:27:45.680
Anyway,
I am not panicking, but…

01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:50.439
But I almost feel like flipping
the table over and fucking it all up.

01:27:50.800 --> 01:27:53.479
Then why are you doing it?

01:27:53.920 --> 01:27:58.359
You're always happy to do it.

01:27:58.720 --> 01:28:00.800
Happy to meet everyone.

01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:04.159
But there are always problems.

01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:08.079
No money, in the end
I'm not going to make a profit.

01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:11.640
I've been screwed.

01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:15.520
From that point of view,
I feel completely burned out.

01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:24.159
I'm like the toasted cutlet,
the same color.

01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:27.319
Anyway...

01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:31.159
You've faced way worse situations.

01:28:31.720 --> 01:28:34.079
Yeah, well.

01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:42.600
He burned himself.

01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:46.359
With the barbecue.

01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:53.479
Right in the nose!

01:30:12.119 --> 01:30:14.119
Who wants a program?

01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:18.479
Edmar, you, Israel and Josele...

01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:23.079
Look at the fingers of the bass players,
All these are good, but this one...

01:30:23.159 --> 01:30:25.439
Look at my little finger,
I look like a frog.

01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:33.600
Josele, I'm sorry for asking,
but you know you can do the same with me.

01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:42.600
you know I'm willing to die for you.

01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:46.960
The guys here are great!

01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:53.640
We let him sing two verses
and we go on?

01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:15.720
The feeling you have before
a big concert like this…

01:31:17.119 --> 01:31:21.359
comes from the impatience of getting on stage
with your friends

01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:27.119
from the pressure of making it all work out
and everyone enjoying it.

01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:33.800
But if you're too excited about making this
the best concert of your life...

01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:38.720
No, no, no,
that day is no different from any other day.

01:31:39.520 --> 01:31:43.239
You're going to do what you always do:
Give it your all.

01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:18.479
My heart is burning,

01:32:19.680 --> 01:32:24.600
because he's got your print.

01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:29.760
I'm struggling to forget you,

01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:33.840
I'm struggling to forget you.

01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:39.119
I'm struggling to forget you,

01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:44.399
but I love you more and more.

01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:48.640
I'm struggling to forget you,

01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:53.479
but I love you more and more.

01:32:59.880 --> 01:33:05.199
For dessert we will offer you
this chorus with a solo by Antonio Serrano.

01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:08.920
All wrapped up in a melody
that will be delicate and soft.

01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:28.880
When you play,
you feel your soul dissolve in the sound.

01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:35.279
You lose your sense of time and space.

01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:41.039
And you blend into a mysterious collective energy
with the other musicians.

01:37:41.720 --> 01:37:43.960
with the public, with the universe

01:37:44.680 --> 01:37:45.720
and you spin.

01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:49.279
That's trance.

01:38:33.560 --> 01:38:35.840
What is this sweet madness?

01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:41.199
To fail to discern dreams from reality.

01:38:45.279 --> 01:38:49.159
That one musical note is of use to you,
and the one next to it as well.

01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:54.680
That the company of people and their absence
are both good for you.

01:38:56.439 --> 01:39:01.000
That success and failure accompany you.

01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:05.520
And that you always have
a coin in your pocket

01:39:06.520 --> 01:39:10.560
To buy a glass of wine
and pay what is due.

01:39:13.359 --> 01:39:19.039
How sweet to imagine awakening each morning
from a dream of a new melody.

01:39:19.560 --> 01:39:22.960
And not to remember it,
not to leave a trace.

01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:29.079
I ignore what I have done,
but I know who I was with.

01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:31.399
Thanks to them

01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:35.000
and also to those who were not there

01:39:36.319 --> 01:39:38.000
I can keep on dreaming

01:39:38.840 --> 01:39:43.279
Perhaps of a concert on the moon.

01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:55.319
A Film by
Emilio BELMONTE

01:39:56.439 --> 01:39:58.760
Featuring
Jorge PARDO

01:43:42.039 --> 01:43:44.159
You are more
flamenco than anyone.

01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:46.079
You truly play like a gipsy.

01:43:47.439 --> 01:43:49.960
No one can
blow like you do.

01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:53.000
I've learnt from
the best, that's all!

01:43:53.479 --> 01:43:54.840
This is how it works.

01:43:55.000 --> 01:43:56.119
For sure!

01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:57.359
You're the king!

01:43:57.560 --> 01:43:59.760
From me to you,
Chicharito de Jerez.

01:44:00.159 --> 01:44:01.840
Always on the beat!
