Farruquito, a Flamenco Dynasty
Spain, USA2025documentary90'DocFilmMusic competition
In this family, successive generations were destined for flamenco, yet even as a child Farruquito surpassed his talented ancestors in dance. He achieved great success in New York and was counted among the most beautiful people in the world, until suddenly one fatal incident changed everything. The film, propelled by the energy of Andalusian music, depicts not only the family tradition and tragedy but also the very essence of flamenco and its social and emotional context. A new generation of Romani artists is now entering the scene, aware of the changes that have taken place in the approach to absolute mastery.
