Five flamenco artists from the birth place of flamenco - Andalucia in Southern Spain.

Two of the artists are from gypsy families where the flamenco art form originated - dancer Carmen Cortes and singer Jesus Mendez from Jerez de la Frontera.

One phenomenal flamenco guitarist Gerardo Nuñez. Absolutely one of the best guitarists in the Universe.

This is the real raw and authentic flamenco coming direct from southern Spain. Unadorned flamenco in all its passionate driving rhythmic and soulful glory.

Experts, historians, musicologists all agree that his music will stand the test of time and his technique and musicianship has to be experienced to be believed.
