CANTE JONDO, GRANADA 1922

 

DIRECTOR / JOSÉ SÁNCHEZ MONTES

​

Granada, 1922. Maestro Falla dreams every night of the ancestral songs that his nanny sang to him as a child. He is very concerned about the disappearance of authentic flamenco, the primitive Andalusian song. He is irritated that he is about to disappear by going commercial. In agreement with two other fans of pure singing, Federico García Lorca and Miguel Cerón, they decide to devise a

rescue plan that reaches everyone. And in this way the First Cante Jondo Competition arises.
