Pedro el Granaíno — Festival de Cante of Ogíjares, 2017

Filmed live concert by flamenco singer Pedro “el Granaíno” and his cuadro at the 38th Festival Nacional de Cante Flamenco of Ogíjares, in the province of Granada, Spain. A respected figure of cante jondo, the artist performs a flamenco of tradition — powerful and ornamented — at one of the reference festivals dedicated to Andalusian song. This full concert runs through the major palos of the repertoire — soleá, seguiriyas, bulerías, fandangos — carried by voice alone, guitar and palmas, without artifice. Far from modern fusions, the capture highlights the essence of flamenco: the search for duende, that raw and mysterious emotion sought by the singer and his audience. A precious document for fans of authentic flamenco and traditional Andalusian music, this filmed live concert testifies to the vitality of cante festivals in Andalusia and to the talent of a performer honored that same year with the prestigious Premio Peña El Taranto. A demanding immersion in the art of contemporary cante flamenco.
