Brief synopsis
At the age of 62, the musician Jorge Pardo, father of the flamenco-jazz fusion, challenges himself:
to gather around him a band with the greatest musicians for a unique flamenco fusion concert, accepting for the first time to be on the front of the stage. Previously, he played for a long time alongside stars like Paco de Lucia or Chick Corea.
Bohemian nature, with his ute and saxophone, always looking for trance music, it’s a real challenge for him.
Will he succeed in organizing the concert of his life? And if so, with what success ?
His journey to the four corners of the world, from Andalusia to Africa and India, promises to be filled with exceptional musical sharing, intimate and on stage. And his encounters with outstanding artists will immerse us in the heart of the mystery and evolutions of flamenco, which Jorge Pardo embodies better than anyone else.
