Tía María Bala & Moraíto Chico | El cante bueno duele / Good singing hurts (Flamenco Biënnale NL)

Excerpt from the documentary El cante bueno duele / Good singing hurts, featuring Manuel Moreno Junquera ‘Moraíto Chico’ and María Soto Monge 'Tía María Bala', sister of the great singer Manuel Soto Sordera. Rocked by the gentle, earthly sounds and silences of Moraíto’s guitar, María demonstrates how the primitive flamenco singing of the past sounded. “To make me sing like this, you have to play like him.”

EL CANTE BUENO DUELE | GOOD SINGING HURTS is a journey into the roots of flamenco and the art of living flamenco, through the art and person of legendary guitarist Manuel Moreno Junquera ‘Moraíto Chico’.
The documentary was recorded in Jerez de La Frontera in 2010, and co-produced by NTR Television and Flamenco Biënnale Nederland.
