25.01.2022 Un baile que se origin en base a diferentes culturas, que pone corazn y pasin en cada cancin, tacn y grito.

24.01.2022 My dad passed away a week ago. People that have reached out, thank you so much, Im a bit overwhelmed and slow to respond, but appreciate it so much. Here is wh...at I said this at his funeral. The music is recordings of my dad. Manuel. Manolo. Lolo. The Seor. Gypsy. Dad. Doesnt matter what you called him, there was only one, and you know what he thought of you. My father taught me a lot of things - but over the last 4 days there are several things that have stood out. I am beautiful and deserve to be adored. Music is a life force, that gives without asking for anything in return. To have self respect and dont take any shit and Nothing is too dark to make a joke out of. Growing up with immigrant parents, as a kid I thought my parents were the way the were because of the cultures they came from. But although my father was unmistakably a proud Spanish man, he was absolutely one of a kind and in the truest sense, he danced to the beat of his own cajon. In a lot of ways we are very alike, I mean obviously my face, but we can both be stubborn, righteous when we believe something is right, fiercely loving with the people we trust, it is because of him that I have centered my entire life around music, it is also because of him that I have a true dedication to a good Jamon. But what I have not mastered and will always strive towards, is the level of honesty (even if at points brutal) that he consistently was capable of offering. That is a rare gift and part of what made him such an incredible teacher. To know flamenco in this town, is to know Manolo. And Ill tell you what, a lot of people knew Manolo, maybe more than knew flamenco. It was a long running joke that we had to allow double the amount of time to walk anywhere in Fitzroy, Collingwood or Carlton because of the inevitable shout hey Manolo that would come from some window, car, coffee shop or a closed up shop front. From him I learnt the importance of community, the joy of bumping into someone and then spending an hour over a lazy coffee, and the family that can be built out of a joint passion, in his case, Flamenco. The friends he has here today are a testament to that. Lifelong friends, who have shared that love. So many have described my father to me as their mentor, teacher, godfather. Youll see in the slideshow, dad is actually at Richards communion, apparently the guitar tuner in his pocket kept going off in church. Which Im sure he would have found pretty funny. Dancers have told me that he would be the first to support them and play for them but also the first to tell them when they were out of time. And thats so indicative of dad. He was an honest teacher, which could be challenging to the sensitive baby I was, but as a kid when I managed to keep up with his palmas, as hed speed up and the clapping would get louder and faster, hed start cheering me on with an Ole gitana! And Id know that to get that, I must be doing a really good job, and would absolutely beam with pride. He loved his family. The respect he had for the matriarchs of his life, his sister Ana and his mother Fernanda, was always of the absolute highest order. The way he loved my mother when they were in love, was so full. He was the absolute fiercest protector of me and Paloma, we were always his baby girls. He told me more than once, that men are stupid and not to be trusted, and he knows it because he is one. In the end, he did everything he could to protect us from his pain. I feel like a piece of me is gone, and I wish so deeply that he could be here for the family I hope to have, but I am so thankful I got to witness him with my cousins beautiful kids, always a big kid himself, always incredibly cheeky. He was so proud of them all. I love you dad and I will always carry in me the parts of you that I loved, to try and share them with the world, the piece of you that lives in me. And I hope you will able be able to carry around that little bit of Manolo in you too. Please join me in wishing, that his spirit now flies free, with no more coazos and not one more fucking haemorrhage. I love you dad.

09.01.2022 Le peuple des gitans de Jacques Léonard ! Injustement méconnu, Thierry Buisson Photographe des Ondes met à l’honneur Jacques Léonard ! Fils d’un marchand de che...vaux d’origine gitane et de la propriétaire d’une maison de couture à Paris, Jacques Léonard (1909-1994) a toujours été liée au monde de l’image. Il commence à travailler aux studios Gaumont à Paris et collabore avec Abel Gance dans J'accuse, Louise et Paradis perdu. Au cours d’un voyage en Espagne pour les repérages d’un tournage, il rencontre le chef du Service de Cinématographie du ministère de l’Intérieur dont il fut le protégé dans les années suivantes et qui lui proposa de travailler pour Ulargui Films où il réalisa le montage de certains films. En 1940, il se rend en Espagne pour les repérages d’un film sur Christophe Colomb qui ne verra jamais le jour car l’Europe est en guerre. Néanmoins une opportunité se présente puisqu’il rencontre le directeur général de la cinématographie de l’époque qui lui offre la possibilité de travailler sur diverses missions lors d’un séjour à Madrid. En 1949, il s’installe à Barcelone avec l’homme d’affaires de théâtre Arthur Kaps et devient son bras droit. Puis, quelques années plus tard et loin des tournages, il devient restaurateur de meubles. Il rencontre le comédien Robert Lamouret qu’il accompagne comme secrétaire lors d’une tournée mondiale. Avec lui, il voyage en Angleterre, en Australie, en Grèce et en Italie mais au terme de cette belle aventure rejette la proposition qui lui est faite de partir aux États-Unis. En 1952, il établit sa résidence à Barcelone quand il s’éprend de Rosario Amaya, une gitane des baraquements de Montjuïc. Il devient alors photographe amateur sur un territoire culturel, celui des gitans. Ce sont les archives photographiques les plus importantes conservées sur les gitans et leur culture à Barcelone, de 1952 au milieu des années 70. Les portes de toutes les baraques s’ouvrent au gadjo Chac , comme l’appele sa grande famille gitane. Il documente la culture et le peuple gitans d’un point de vue historique et contemporain tout en transmettant une image d’une dignité absolue. L'Archive de la Famille Jacques Léonard - Archivo Familia Jacques Léonard- comprend des négatifs et des tirages vintages des années 40 à 70. Elle est gérée par ses enfants Santiago et Alex Léonard. Son travail narre intimement le territoire périphérique culturel de Barcelone : les barraques de Montjuic qui accueillaient une importante communauté gitane. Ses compétences pour le 7ème art de son début de carrière, nous offre un témoignage très cinématographique des traditions et rituels de la culture gitane, avec une vision anthropologique et contemporaine bien à lui. En 1975, après le démantèlement des quartiers gitans de Barcelone, il s’installe dans celui de la Mina et en raison de problèmes de santé il quitte la photographie et se consacre au projet d’un livre sur la culture gitane. Les quatre fers en l’air , qu’il ne publiera pas malgré l’intérêt initial manifesté par la maison d’édition Plon de Paris, spécialisée en ethnologie. En 1991 et en très mauvaise santé, il s’installe à l’Escala où il décède en 1994.
