Thirty years have already flown by and the influence of La leyenda del tiempo keeps on keeping on. Ladies and gentleman, we present you the decisive flamenco disc, the alloy of all that is classic and modern, and how it was made. What cosmic factors collided so that the born renovator of flamenco would unite his tradition with rock, pop and experimentation, and from this union would emerge this beautiful baby. La leyenda del tiempo had as many admirers as it had critics (in an intimate moment during the film, a stern-faced yet smiling Camarón asks those who didn't like the record to pardon him), and it's easy to see the logic. This had never been done before. As is revealed here, Camarón was like Mozart: a guy in whom all the attributes came together and at the same time, all the geographical and seasonal coincidences that rendered him almost obliged to release a work that would revolutionize the genre. Here we have the recollection of these famous sessions ("it was like being in the kindergarten of flamenco one witness tells us), related by Tomatito, Raimundo Amador, Ricardo Pachón, Kiko Veneno and other stars, seasoned with incredible unreleased archive footage and a sound analysis of its time. For lovers of Camarón and the record: Definitive. For those who are curious and appreciators of the "Making ofs" of crucial records, this is equally captivating.
