eta. they kill it to [indistinct] blanco,ho was th successor of franco. enrique marin did the same day, he sang in the colegio de medicos de madrid...[singing] so they censor it, arrest the king, so... sami: hits it right on the spot. juan: and stopped it. sami: the concert. because of the crisis that is happening now in spain that started to happen a couple years ago, have you noticed if there's any kind of switching the lyrics in the tradition of flamenco, as people started to now sing against stats, that unfairness of the

situation? juan: more or less. more or less. [indistinct] people have forgot this fight. now they add some flamenco, obviously they make it. i--i think that the artists of flamenco people are going to get up, but not now. it doesn't happen now. the kind of example of people that, for example, goes to the banks and they occupy the banks, singing flamenco. ♪ ah ta ta ah ta tat ♪ and this is the form of to protest. sami: yeah, peaceful. juan: it's peaceful protest. and they sang...

[vocalizing] sami: lebrija, sevilla, and moron de la frontera formed a sacred triangle oflamenco. the uncle of the guitarist, ricardo moreno, performs for us. something i like to call silent flamenco. instead of unhinged hand-clapping and foot stomping, the dance is elegant and restrained.

[guitar playing] sami: marco and i are driving to meet one of the last ling legends of flamenco. you wouldn't expect to find him in a goat farm. el cabrero is

thjohnny cash of flamenco. he always performslad in black, accompanied by a single guitar, singing about corruption in society and defending the poor and downtrodden. back in the day, he was so popular, even franco did not dare to silence the man. this maestro can play fofull hous in paris and madrid, but in the end, he always returns here to be with his goats, the mountains, and solitude.

sami: uhh. [speaking spanish] can you learn to say... [repeats spanish phrase], marco? marco: [repeats phrase] [stammering phrase] [sami laughing] marco: [repeats phrase] [sami laughing] [marco speaking spanish] [sami speaking spanish] sami: we don't have the bass with us. [both laughing] sami: where you taking me, marco? sami: celebration.

sami: and, uh, we're going to kill a pig. well, we're not, they are. [rooster crowing] [man singing in spanish] sami: el mantanza is a centuries old celebration and a tradition essential to flamenco that still thrives in the andalusian countryside and mountains. january or february are the time of the year for this particular sacrifice. [men speaking spanish]

sami: every part of the pig is used. nothing is wasted. [man singing in spanish] marco: you know, this is the best part.... sami: of the pig. marco: of the g. secretos like aecret. sami: yeah. marco: isn't it the same name? sami: yeah, yeah, yeah. i wasn't too thrilled about the killing and slaughtering of the swine. but while witnessing it, i realized it was very natural and something that has been happening for centuries. the death of this animal brings life to the people of the village, and it is shown respect through songs and celebration. the fiesta is joined by friends, neighbors, workers, and villagers with their families. marco: the bullfighter. marco: river ordonez is a very famous bullfighter.

sami: you get the final... man: aqui. sami: si. [indistinct chatter] sami: [speaking spanish] [all laughing] [indistinct chatter] [laughter] [woman singing in background] [cheering] [sami laughing] >> ok. marco: [laughs] oh, man.

sami: see you on. marco: adios. sami: ok, mucho gusto. marco: buen viaje. sami: in this age of superficiality and plastic, it's important to cherish tradition and history. music should come from the heart, not from the wallet. it only remains vital and regenerates through musicians who are bold enough to break boundaries without the fear of tomorrow. flamenco is the music of andalusia, but it's a gift for the whole world. flamenco encompasses everything.
