 Flamenco
music is the lifeblood of the Gitanos (Spanish gypsies) whose
exile has lasted for centuries. In looking for the roots of
the so-called "New Flamenco", director Dominique Abel
takes us on a journey to Tres Mil Viviendas, a rundown estate
on Seville’s South Side and home to much of the city’s Gitanos
population.
