Trance (2022)

Sep 14, 2022 1h 38m Documentary Music

A journey to the heart of the mystery of flamenco music. At 62 years old, the master flutist Jorge Pardo, father of the flamenco-jazz fusion with the guitarist Paco de Lucía, takes up the challenge to gather the greatest musicians of today for a unique concert. Transe is an adventure that gives pride of place to musical performances. From Andalusia to New York and India, Jorge Pardo gives us his vision of music. A living portrait of the "founding father" of flamenco-jazz fusion and the world of contemporary flamenco, where tradition opens its doors to the world.
