SOROLLA - BNE

El Ballet Nacional de España estrenará su nuevo espectáculo Sorolla en Madrid

Nueva producción del Ballet Nacional de España que se estrenará en junio en las Naves del Español Matadero de Madrid. Sorolla es la nueva propuesta artística de Antonio Najarro para el Ballet Nacional de España en la búsqueda continua de creaciones que transmitan y, a la vez, preserven nuestra cultura dancística. Un espectáculo que está inspirado en la colección Visión de España del pintor Joaquín Sorolla creada por encargo de la Hispanic Society de Nueva York en el año 1911. Sorolla plasmó su visión personal de España, sus costumbres y sus bailes en catorce grandes cuadros destinados a la biblioteca de la institución.

MANUEL a film by Tao Ruspoli

A short documentary about the legendary flamenco singer and guitarist Manuel Molina of Lole y Manuel. Un Documento sobre Manuel Molina de Lole y Manuel.

MANUEL MOLINA is one of the most respected and well known flamenco artists in Spain. He is a poet, a singer and a master guitarist.

In 1972, he and his wife, Dolores Montoya Rodriguez (“Lole,” born in Sevilla, 1954) started a flamenco duo that achieved enormous success in Spain and the rest of the world. The couple was the first flamenco couple ever to target an audience not familiar with flamenco, and are precursors of “nuevo flamenco” (New Flamenco).

Their first album was produced in 1975, with a title representative of Spain’s social realities at the time: “Nuevo dia” (New Day). The duo, characterized by certain hippie influences, was interested in musical experimentation, mixing Arabian music with lyrics taht talked about peace, love and flowers. After 1980, the couple started solo careers, and continued with concerts and new recordings.

Lole and Manuel’s music has appeared in several films, as in “Flamenco,” from Carlos Saura, or “Kill Bill Vol. 2,” by Quentin Taratino.

The daughter of their former marriage is Alba Molina, also an artist. Lole continues to make recordings of Andalusian music.

TAO RUSPOLI -- Moviemaker magazine singled out Ruspoli as one of the 10 Young Filmmakers To Watch in its spring 2008 issue. His feature narrative debut, Fix, was one of 10 feature films to screen in competition at the 2008 Slamdance Film Festival and soon afterward at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival where Ruspoli was awarded the Heineken Red Star Award for "most innovative and progressive filmmaker." Fix also won the Festival Award for Best Film at the 2008 Brooklyn Film Festival, Vail Film Festival and the 2008 Twin Rivers Media Festival, as well as other prizes at several international festivals.

His other films include 'Flamenco: A Personal Journey,' a feature length documentary about the flamenco way of life as it is lived by Gypsies in the south of Spain. He has directed a number of other short documentaries, including 'El Cable' (also about Flamenco), and This Film Needs No Title: A Portrait of Raymond Smullyan (a portrait of the renowned logician, mathematician and concert pianist Raymond Smullyan).

Tao is an accomplished flamenco guitar player, and his first CD, FLAMENCO, was released on Mapleshade Records in 2005.

Jose de la tomasa (fandangos)

José de la Tomasa
Cantaor de Sevilla

Premio Nacional de la Cátedra de Flamencología de Jerez’ 2012

José está considerado en el ambiente y la crítica flamenca como uno de los más grandes cantaores del momento, siendo una figura imprescindible en los festivales flamencos de Andalucía y en los espectáculos de calidad.

José Georgio Soto nació en Sevilla. Perteneciente a una de las grandes familias del Cante, de estirpe jerezana, nieto de Pepe Torre, sobrino nieto de Manuel Torre, hijo de Tomasa Soto y de Manuel Giorgio 'Pies de Plomo", no tuvo que salir de su casa para sentirse desde siempre transitado por lo jondo. Cantaor de cuerpo entero, que no mistifica, que no engaña, que tiene siempre en cuenta antes que nada, antes que su propio éxito personal, la ética del cante. José el de la Tomasa deja patente en todo su quehacer artístico un inequívoco afán de perfección. Desde muy joven se significó ya como uno de esos valores que siempre van a dar lo máximo, y tales expectativas en ningún momento se han visto defraudados.

El Potito, (born Antonio Vargas Cortés in Seville in 1976) is a Spanish flamenco and new flamenco singer. He has been hailed as a "young singer tipped to be following in the footsteps of El Camaron." Bernard Leblon said he has a "prodigious voice capable of hitting incredibly high notes, [and] was an overnight sensation in the world of flamenco."

From a child at the age of 10, he began acting, singing and flamenco dancing on the tourist boats on the Guadalquivir River. As a teenager, collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Paco de Lucía ("Zyrjab"). By 1996 he had already released two albums with collaborations with Vicente Amigo and others. He has since performed in a large number of performances internationally, collaborating in performances of Joaquin Cortes and Sara Baras, and is a singer in the Tomatito group. Altogether he has released six albums, the last of which is Macandé.
