BAY AREA FLAMENCO PRESENTS
GUITARRA DE PALO: Direct from Spain!
Bay Area Flamenco Is honored to present GUITARRA DE PALO, an evening featuring both the FILM, "Guitarra de Palo" and a LIVE all-star musical performance by musicians from the film.
A Bay Area Film Premier of Andrea Zapata Girau's hour-long music documentary, "Guitarra de Palo" will be followed by a 90 minute Live All-Star Concert featuring flamenco-jazz artists Antón Jiménez, Jerry González, Jorge Pardo, Raimundo Amador, Javier Colina, Rafita Jimenez and Israel Suárez “Piraña” and flamenco dancer, David Paniagua.
ABOUT THE FILM:
The documentary film,"Guitarra de Palo", by Zapata Girau is an anthropological-musical voyage without dialogue or narration: the music speaks for itself. Shot in Spain, Cuba, the United States, Nicaragua, Germany, Russia and the Cayman Islands, the flamenco guitar acts as the main character as the film showcases some of the most renowned names of flamenco and its contemporary fusions. The documentary is highlighted by its stunning cinematography and its sound design, the work of Goya Award winner (Spain's Academy Awards) Pelayo Guiterrez and Nacho Royo-Villanova.
"Guitarra de Palo is a phenomenal, timeless work of art - beautiful and powerful in every aspect. It is simply one of the greatest music films ever made! The cinematography, story line, musical recording and editing are all first tier in execution and creativity. And the music!!!! The music is phenomenal, sentimental, historic and breathtaking. The film is so full of magic that it gets under the skin - connects to distant places, condenses centuries, opens the heart. This is what music is all about - dance, celebration, humanity, transcendence! Duende puro!!! What a journey! What an opportunity! What a gift!" - John Santos, 5-time-Grammy®-nominated Percussionist and Educator
