From Granada we head for Castellar de la Frontera, a tiny hilltop Andalusian village built around a castle with spectacular 360 degree views. We meet up with Antonio Carrasco who is singing in the Castellar Flamenco Festival that evening, alongside world-class dancer Noelia Sabarea. We film and record parts of the festival and make arrangements to collaborate with them on the way back.
Culturelinx is a project from Musica Sin Fronteras, a non-profit organisation run by a collective of independent media professionals in the area of education, music, audio, film, arts and event management, web technology and design.
We are visiting cross-culture musicians with mobile recording equipment and cameras, and filming musical collaborations and interviews, exploring concepts of identity and connections between cultures. With the musicians inspired by previous recordings, layer by layer, we are creating a body of music, videos and lyrics in a mash-up exploration of 21st century life.
This blog shows the MAKING OF , the process of gathering the audio and visual material on the road. A comprehensive website, including musician profiles, sound samples for download and teasers from the documentary and album is coming soon...
