Alala. The power of Flamenco

“Alalá” (Joy in the Caló language) shows us the social portrait of a popular Sevillian neighborhood that in recent years has been transformed into a multicultural space, where in spite of the difficulties in which they live, joy is never lost.

The film shows a music school for children that uses flamenco as an educational language, born from the efforts of a renowned guitarist, Emilio Caracafé, who along with other artists offer us their personal vision of this neighborhood, where flamenco is an element that generates opportunities and transformative values.
