A new collaboration from the Castilet cinema, based around the two main creators of modern flamenco, Paco de Lucia, flamenco guitarist, composer and producer and Enrique Morente, flamenco singer and controversial figure within the world of contemporary flamenco. Two films, a buffet (bring your own and put in on the table to share) and a special musical interlude with dancer-singer Lorenzo Ruiz.
Morente, flamenco y Picasso
The film ”Morente, flamenco y Picasso”(2012) follows Enrique Morente, one of the great voices of flamenco, up to his last public appearances.
Alongside his impressive traditional repertoire, he adds to music some little known poems of Pablo Picasso.
The film also tells the story of the great friendship between the painter and his barber, Eugenio Arias Gerranz and visits the historical Arab Baths of Granada, Buitrago de Lozoya and the Barcelona Liceo, where he recorded unforgettable concerts, and sang for the last time with his two daughters, shortly before his death.
