We begin on Sunday 6 February with the premiere of LA ESTRELLA DE EMI BONILLA, a biographical documentary about the Malaga artist Emi Bonilla, who has been and continues to be one of the singular figures of the Spanish popular songbook. He himself confesses that "you have to know how to carry the copla on stage"; a unique artist, fighter, resistant and a living memory of the copla and flamenco.
He will be followed by the film TOKIO JONDO on Sunday 13 February, which tells the story of how the Japanese live flamenco in their city. In Tokyo, organisation is essential in order not to fall into chaos. In this society, Flamenco music has been a major attraction for many Japanese people for more than 40 years. Three main characters and the most important figures of Japanese flamenco present the keys to this social phenomenon.
On Sunday 20 February SILENCIO takes a visual tour of the artistic and personal facet of María Ángeles Narváez "La Niña de los Cupones", how, despite her hearing disability, she has managed to become a professional flamenco dancer. A story of overcoming day by day and her commitment to flamenco.
And on the last Sunday of the month, 27 February, we have a film that proves once again that flamenco has no borders. MÉXICO FLAMENCO is created by the producer Antonio Cortes "Barullo" and the Catalan production company Bakery Group. A project that brings together the Mexican songbook and the flamenco sound. You will meet two social projects in Mexico that will turn music into a tool with which to create positive relations between two very different cultures.
ALL FLAMENCO offers you an approach to social cinema through flamenco, recovering these titles for you. Follow the ALL FLAMENCO TV channel on dial 159 of ORANGE TV along with the thematic music channels.
