Tomorrow Tuesday, 3 September, at 20:30 the Three Cultures Foundation will show a special screening of the documentary ‘Antonio Mairena, la raíz del cante’ as the opening of the Parallel Activities of the 23rd Seville Flamenco Biennial. 

This session is also part of a cycle of cinema and flamenco that includes four other titles that will be screened on Tuesdays 10, 17 and 24 September and 1 October. 

The screening of the documentary about Antonio Mairena will be attended by la Bienal's director, Luis Ybarra; the director of the Three Cultures Foundation of the Mediterranean, Lorena García de Izarra; the councillor for Culture, Festivities, Citizen Participation and Seniors of the Town Hall of Mairena del Alcor, Inmaculada Galocha; the delegate of the Government of Andalusia in Seville, Ricardo Sánchez; the rector of the University of Seville, Miguel Ángel Castro Arroyo; representatives of RTVA and the executive producer of the audiovisual production company MasTV Online, Juan Cabral. 

In addition, distinguished representatives of flamenco who have participated in the development of the documentary, such as Esperanza Fernández, Argentina, Fosforito, Rancapino Chico, Fran Fernández, Nano de Jerez, Ricardo Miño, Pedro Ricardo Miño, Pepa Montes and Jesús Bola, among others, will be present. 

Forty years have passed since the death of one of the greatest artists that the world of flamenco has ever produced, Antonio Mairena. Through the eyes of music producer and youtuber ShaunTrack, the work takes a look at the flamenco singer and flamencologist from Mairena del Alcor, one of the most important figures in the history of Flamenco.

A rigorous, but at the same time modern and different way of approaching not only his facet as an artist but also his great work as the father of Flamencology.
