Dialogue: 0,0:00:13.52,0:00:14.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This album is a tribute to my mother

Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.86,0:00:23.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while my mother was ill in the hospital for six months
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.94,0:00:29.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,every single morning I visited her
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.03,0:00:33.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during the day i was with her and later in the day and at night I would compose
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.15,0:00:39.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This album is impregnated
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.28,0:00:42.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of those painful feelings, seeing how my mother was leaving
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.58,0:00:45.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I also told her once
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.38,0:00:49.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this album will be dadicated to her, which made her very happy
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.98,0:00:54.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,She gave me the most beautiful smile, a smile I would never forget
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.28,0:01:00.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is a good razon to dedicate the album Luzia with a "Z" because
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.50,0:01:06.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is important for me to clarify my mothers Portuguese origins
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.30,0:01:10.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Portuguese Luzia is spelled with a "Z"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.15,0:01:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this album is definetly a full tribute to her
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.98,0:01:17.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is also a song that is dedicated to Camaron
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.78,0:01:23.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the album in general is impregnated by that painful feeling only experienced when ones own mother is dying
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.98,0:01:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every experience in life
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.58,0:01:30.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fills you up with diferent feelings and sensations
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.38,0:01:36.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the pain when is so deep, it think you get used to it
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.46,0:01:43.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the point where pain is so intense but so is happiness
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.14,0:01:56.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so, in a way I believe that what I write and compose is related with whatever has been experienced
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.14,0:02:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If an intense and profound pain has been felt by someone, it is transmited into whatever you create or compose
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.02,0:02:06.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Flamenco is full of pain and sadness
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.74,0:02:17.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the persecution of towns and the andalucian marginalization, poverty, hunger, all that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.11,0:02:21.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are many people that claim to have undergone hunger, but I
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.39,0:02:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I did not experience hunger, my father made sure we did not experienced it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.58,0:02:29.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we were in the verge of it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.99,0:02:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I thing that is important for any artist
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.58,0:02:37.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,each album is like giving birth, it is painful I want to go crazy
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.62,0:02:42.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I really do. It fills me up with anxiety and anguish
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.70,0:02:44.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fear and insecurity
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.06,0:02:48.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it is not worth it and throw away more than half of what I compose
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.82,0:02:51.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I think is just not worth it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.87,0:02:54.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making an album is an illness it turns into an illness
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.86,0:03:02.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I suffer..suddenly I come up with a phrase that really makes me happy for five minutes
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.14,0:03:09.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but after five minutes, the insecurities come back again
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.83,0:03:12.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the fears and doubts about if this is all worth it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.46,0:03:14.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I could be at the beach taking the sun
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.94,0:03:17.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having enough money to do that,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.27,0:03:22.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there is something else inside me telling me to keep going and keep struggling
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.11,0:03:25.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to keep living, to have that fullfilling sensation that I am still alive
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.18,0:03:27.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and having something to say
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.23,0:03:33.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to make sure you all know that I dont pretend to portray myself as a singer in this album
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.30,0:03:37.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it has been almost an obligation, because there are two writings in this album
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.62,0:03:41.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one, i dedicate to my mother and the other to Camaron
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.78,0:03:47.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I sang in reference to the recording so later a professional singer could adapt his voice over mine
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.63,0:03:55.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I thought it was more intimate according to the circumstances and the real purpose of the song
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.83,0:03:58.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventhough I realize he could have done a much better job
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.55,0:04:02.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have myself sing those lines was a real homage
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.58,0:04:12.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(guitars)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.91,0:04:16.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Guitarists in general
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.94,0:04:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course guitarists dont even buy them, on the contrary they copy each other
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.74,0:04:24.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these guitarists have put me where I am and they know who Paco de Lucia is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.94,0:04:32.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is why I always thing about the guitarists when I make an album
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.54,0:04:36.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they are the ones who will talk about it among themselves
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.11,0:04:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and will say if the album is Ok or not
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.62,0:04:40.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am not interested...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.75,0:04:42.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is still much to do with the acoustic guitar
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.59,0:04:46.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now play the electric guitar is quite interesting
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.51,0:04:49.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because with the acoustic guitar, you play a note and it dies suddenly
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.15,0:04:57.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the electric guitar you play a note and it can last ten minutes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.23,0:04:57.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it means that electric guitar gives you more tranquility because while the long note is playing you can think about which note to play next
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.28,0:05:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the acoustic guitar you can not do that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.52,0:05:02.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after one note the next must come quick because you ran out of sound
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.14,0:05:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much more challenging to play the acoustic guitar, it has more posibilities that an electric guitar
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.06,0:05:05.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in which you can prolong the notes and have time to think
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.91,0:05:09.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I could not live without a guitar, but at the same time I dont live while playing
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.38,0:05:10.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it is such a difficult and ungrateful instrument
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.36,0:05:24.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you dedicate all the hours in you life and all of a sudden
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.62,0:05:34.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one day you are completely fine in regards to your hands, brilliant
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.63,0:05:37.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you go in front of people feeling perfect to play
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.31,0:05:49.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you just cant play, I dont know why, a disaster
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.54,0:05:54.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is an instrument where all matters, the lenght of you nails matters
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.47,0:06:00.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Im talking about a microscopic difference in lenght
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.19,0:06:05.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I dont know what is going on but it seems like it is the nail that not well filed
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.86,0:06:07.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is quite challenging instrument, very tough
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.71,0:06:11.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I dont have a good relationship with the guitar
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.07,0:06:13.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I dont like it, really I cant stand it
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.47,0:06:15.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(laughs)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.82,0:06:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[guitar playing]
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.58,0:06:37.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because flamenco has always been a lower category music
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.94,0:06:42.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe I giving it to much importance
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.78,0:06:49.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,flamenco has always been music for Andalusian Gypsies
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.02,0:06:51.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It played in the caverns
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.62,0:06:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, I could sum it up to this
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.31,0:06:59.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember someone in my town saying "Paco de Lucia" plays the guitar really well, he is a phenomena
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.61,0:07:02.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there was this neighbor of mine that said the opposite
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.79,0:07:06.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He said he knew me so well when I was a young boy,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.79,0:07:10.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that my face as full of shit as his home, how can he play well- he said
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.44,0:07:14.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He spoke in a sense trying to say that since he is ours he cant be good
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.79,0:07:18.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seams like everything that comes from outsider is better
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.03,0:07:19.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is something that happens not just in my country, but all over
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.83,0:07:22.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything that is folkloric and autochtonous is not good enough
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.83,0:07:27.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is so much more well seen to go see a rock concert even if its a total wreck
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.91,0:07:31.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than to go see a local folkloric artist
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.39,0:07:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I dont know why, I cant understand, but we are just like these.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.74,0:07:39.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are countries that do have a much more elevated cultural education
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.70,0:07:44.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe because they have more money, the kinder has been educated in music
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.44,0:07:47.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and may be they know how to appreciate those things even better that we can do.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.23,0:07:50.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is basically a flamenco guitar album
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.14,0:08:01.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very traditional, but also have percussion, lute, guitar mandolin
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.79,0:08:08.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Antonio Carmona plays cajon in a Buleria, for me he is the best player of all
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.36,0:08:17.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Luis Miguel he plays also the guitar mandolin, he plays very well is a good musician
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.95,0:08:21.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tino di Geraldo, Carlos Benavent
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.74,0:08:29.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Duquende, a singer that I like so much, he made some beautiful Tangos
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.06,0:08:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I always be in fusions, because as a Flamenco gay i never went to a School to learn music, I am a self taught person
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.62,0:08:41.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all I know was learned by hearing
Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.02,0:08:47.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some times I felt I needed Technical skills of music to make a composition less painfull
Dialogue: 0,0:08:47.78,0:08:58.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because for me, to find a chord is harder than a person who has music skills and know how to read the chords and make harmony
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.39,0:09:08.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, I never had the discipline to go to school, I though the best way to learn was meeting other musicians
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.78,0:09:14.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for example Jazz musicians, people at he verge harmonically.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.46,0:09:21.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...and like I was curious, inquiring I never pretend not to be a Flamenco
Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.02,0:09:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not even dedicate my self to play Jazz, my goal always was go to learn
Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.94,0:09:33.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bring it back to Flamenco music and make it grow some way
Dialogue: 0,0:09:33.53,0:09:41.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Ketama I think is a splendorous Band, they really make an progression
Dialogue: 0,0:09:41.66,0:09:48.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even the last album was not Flamenco, they move into Flamenco ways to make it them expression
Dialogue: 0,0:09:48.52,0:09:55.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of they music has Flamenco intentions that I think is very positive
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.54,0:10:02.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and like Ketama Band a lot of people will make amazing things
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.78,0:10:09.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as I said, Why take so long to make an album?, Because the level is too high
Dialogue: 0,0:10:09.62,0:10:16.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can not come out with any kind of album, I have to make something really interesting, very surprising.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.28,0:10:24.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[guitar playing]
