Niño Josele, Cherifa Kersit

MAGHREB FLAMENCO is the first short documentary by Flamenco Biënnale NL made in 2008. With Cherifa Kersit (1967), the 'Cheikha' - the grande dame - of the singing tradition of the Berbers from the Moroccan Middle Atlas Mountains and guitarist Niño Josele (1974), protégé of Paco de Lucía, a descendant of a gipsy dynasty from the South Spanish Almería. The flamenco guitar mingles with the lotar, the Berber lute; and the raw Berber songs alternate with the "Cante Jondo", deep flamenco song. Together they built musical bridges, or rather, restored the old connections across the Strait of Gibraltar.
