Segundo Falcón & Orquesta Chekara De Tetuán
There are several flamenco scholars who, trying to find the Roots of the history of the origin of this artform, have reached very different Conclusions.
Some, that flamenco is the child of primitive musical Systems coming to the Iberian Peninsula
The others, that flamenco, if not the son, could well be the brother of Muslim and Mozarabic music, due to the similarities Found in the two musical styles.
What nobody doubts is that flamenco, like Arab music, differing from many other musical styles More or less well-known, is a cante created by the people, Using their own language to be able to express feelings Inherent in themselves; whether it is pain, injustice, requited or impossible Love, longing for freedom, exile, yearning or Uncertainty.
If flamenco took or was inspired by elements lent from the cultures Which supposedly danced around it the day it was born, It is because they also can also be used, like the “quejido” and “Flamenco lament”, to express feelings, to explain life cycles, To recount history without books, to be able to show those who Cannot see, to be able to display those who cannot feel.
Sisters, then, these two musical artforms, at least in books, “Tierra de nadie” proposes to bring them together in a sort of encounter with Old relatives in order to give each of them the chanceTo establish a dialogue where each of them, flamenco, Arab, performed in its purest state, has a voice of its own.
A voice of its own to express itself, in its own way, in its pure state just As it has finally been conceived, just as it is. A voice of its own to establish a dialogue where neither prevails
Over the other, where they can demonstrate that without fusion or adaptation, Each using its own language, preserving intact The traditional roots, are able to understand one another.
A voice of its own to communicate to its sisters and to the spectator, each One in its language, feelings born from the people, created by Peoples who had no further chance to express themselves or did not .
Find another more suitable way to do it than their own Voice, used as the main instrument.
A voice of its own to narrate its history which, like the history of men Which both of them are, each displayed in its purest form, like Unique, inimitable crystals that all converge in the same
Kaleidoscope, showing different figures depending on who turns it. Whether using flamenco-style guitars, rhythmic lutes, Each one speaking in its own way, presenting themselves On stage just as they are, they manage to narrate for the spectator scenes as Everyday for human beings as birth, death and everything. That lies in that interval.
Voices of their own performed through impeccable Staging, where each element of the stage design has been looked after As if it were only a matter of that, by performers of Renowned prestige, both in their native lands and on International stages.
The voice which speaks to us in “Tierra de nadie” is flamenco
