All of a sudden, Rocío

In some of the films we love, admire and reward, the authors use the songs of Rocío Jurado to embellish the story with special force, and we are proud, happy, mad with happiness.

I remember, I remember, I saw it in Bilbao. It was supposed to be in Bilbao. It couldn't have been in San Sebastian. It couldn't have been in Bit.It was a bad sight in those years. It wasn't that easy to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it, to explain it.

Yes, times have changed. But the anecdote I'm going to tell you was different. . You should have loved (and I assure you, we were very fond of) the Basque Radical Rock and all the Basque singers . They also started in the ska style or reggae of Jamaica, they proclaimed the Tropical Basque Country.

But to say that you admired people like him was not right. It wasn't right. They looked at you badly if you confessed.

When we heard that he was coming to Bilbao, our attachment to the capital of Bizkaia increased. We knew that the free, vast metropolis of the Basque Country was one of those cities where no one is being held accountable. So it was natural that he should give the concert there.

Who? Rocío Jurado. Rocío Grande. That little, free woman. You may have noticed her late, but her songs are a cry for her. The protagonists of her songs are never kneeling before anyone.

We went to Bilbao to listen to Rocío Jurado in the last century, up to the neck, the room, the excitement, when we finished, we took the bus back, almost secretly.

Many of today's young and free singers (Buika, for example) sing new versions of Mrs. Jurado's songs, more furtive than those of the time ere, airos in squares and stages.

What's more, in some films that we love, admire and reward, the authors use these songs to embellish the story with special force, and we are proud, happy, mad with happiness.

Although there is production between Chile, France, Belgium and Germany, Diego Cespedes, with Basque producers, won the Youth Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, with the highest score ever achieved. This mind-blowing tale, dyed with magical realism, also has the recognition of the judges of the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes.

We're in the Chilean desert. We're in a lost country. There are transvestites (I use that word, they define themselves as). The rare disease has spread among the population, and they all blame transvestites.

That's where Flamenco's lover will appear, and he, a transvestite, will pull out the gun...

I promise you two examples. The next one will soon be the perfect time to taste it in San Sebastian's Terror Week.

Vampires are the protagonists. Vampires are the women. They're the wonderful creatures that go through millennia. They're safe from all epidemics. Humans are the victims. They're the victims of multiple epidemics.

You see, for many of us, Rocío has always been in the soundtrack of our lives, but we didn't dare say it. Now, the great creators choose their songs brabos  to round up their films.
