Did you ask him why he doesn't join and post the link himself?

No...who cares? He asked if I could publish the video at Deflamenco, and as a footnote mentioned putting the link here.

Well I do for one. I'm interested to know why someone who specifically asks for his work to be displayed here, is at the same time unwilling to participate?

He never said he was "unwilling to participate". As a journalist I'm sensitive to such leading statements. I'm a member, and rarely participate. Does that mean I'm also "unwilling"?

I think it's a fine gesture to share his work without asking anything in return.

Perhaps "unwilling" was a poor choice of word?

I can't speak for Tao, but I'd be unhappy if my own infrequent participation were characterized as "unwillingness".

Enjoy the documentary and like they say in Spanish, don't worry about what sex angels are ("el sexo de los ángeles").

Sorry I can't place who you are, but glad you enjoyed the get-togethers. We still meet every Tuesday year-round, anyone here headed for Jerez drop me a message so I can confirm the time and place.

Before anyone sticks their foot in it, just a reminder that the siguiriya of Manuel Molina so frequently used to close out a set of siguiriya cantes, has nothing whatsoever to do with this Manuel Molina.

Nice. Is the lole thing avoided on purpose like taboo or old news, or do they touch on it in the full length film?

Manuel and Lole separated many years ago. He's made a career on his own, but she's been forgotten. Gualberto from Smash isn't mentioned either...

So the one he refers to as "fatty", is that a daughter of his?

No, it's his wife, the lady in the video. I remember Manolita de María used to call his wife the Spanish equivalent of "fatso", or sometimes just "whale".

Thank you so much for presenting this great video Estela, Tao has a genius for putting honest and true Flamenco on film.
Cheers,

Tao is actually smart for not getting mixed up here. He would only have to answer a million weird questions and someone would eventually put him on the defensive.

I remember seeing his first film about flamenco when it was still fresh off the edit program, privately screened at The Albatross bar in Berkeley. It was fantastic. There was Paco Valdepenas and several other folks who it turns out made their last film appearances in that movie. I hope he makes films for a very, very longtime to come.

Zata, thanks for posting this. One question: This looks like it's from the same body of material out of which Tao made the clips of Molina for "Being in the World." Do you know if Tao is planning to make more documentary segments from that material, whether related to flamenco or otherwise?

I have no idea...Tao probably doesn't know himself, he always got a lot of projects in the works.

Flamenco is a small world, indeed. I met Tao (and his starlet girlfriend at the time) in my sole visit to Spain 10 years ago. Apparently he had taken the same workshop at the Christina Heeren fundacion previously. It's cool that he's still into flamenco documentaries after all this time!

There are different bars...I recognize the Mantoncillo in Triana and the bar in Jerez that's right next to the Villamarta theater in the same plaza. But there's another bar I don't recognize, and some of the filming was done in Manuel's house.
