Dawn in Granada – El nombre de Padre

Flamenco is exemplary as an art that has been handed down from generation to generation. Dawn in Granada is a film about how this art is transmitted within families, how flamenco characteristically relies on the family as the main wellspring of traditional culture. The family’s role is decisive. Within families, certain basic forms of flamenco have been preserved and modified over time as they pass from one generation to the next. With this second film by Dominique Abel, director of Agujetas, Cantaor we penetrate the intimacy of a flamenco family who teaches us how to transmit this popular and refined art that is flamenco!
