This performance has got the name of two of his most recent recordings. Flutes and saxophones are turned into Flamenco voices and “quejíos” (stylised form of crying out). It’s a collection of chants starting from the study of articulations and deep Flamenco vocal styles as those of Camarón, El Chaqueta or los Zambos, for example. Jorge interprets these items following the occurrences of the winds.
In this particular soundtrack, which lends itself perfectly to dancing, the saxophone and flute are played on a high stool, and not on a reed chair. Then they start singing with “alegría” de Camarón, soleares of Chaqueta, rumba, tangos of Repompa… zambra caracoleras, accompanied by guitars and percussions.
A glance is given towards the Spanish music tradition from the “alegría” to the solear and from the pasodoble to the joropo using bulerias, Albéniz, Falla or Camarón. It’s a performance which is compatible with dancing, which obtains in this way a musical expression and aesthetic items of the modern Flamenco.
