La suite Jonda

La suite Jonda

Otero, Fernando

On June 1922, Manuel de Falla and Federico García Lorca organized, along with other artists and intellectuals, the 20th century flamenco event: The Contest of Cante Jondo in Granada. A few months before the event, Brigadier General Juan Picasso González -the brilliant painter's uncle- delivered to the Congress of Deputies the more than 2 thousand pages that made up the report of the massacre suffered by the Spanish in Annual. Between both events, the Annual disaster and the Granada Cante Jondo Contest, the "Picasso Report" flies over, threatening Spanish political stability. The compromised information in the report on the corruptions that originated the African debacle reaches the highest levels of the State, crossing on the journey with characters such as El Tenazas, an elderly singer who has walked from Puente Genil to Granada so that Lorca, Falla and the rest of the artists and intellectuals witness a discovery: the primitive document of cante jondo.
