Le Roman de Flamenca is a 13th century Occitan manuscript, kept in Carcassonne, which recounts the punishment of a jealous husband sequestering his wife in a tower to hide her from the eyes of potential suitors. But the fate of Flamenca moves a young knight who will do anything to free the beautiful captive. Seven hundred years later, at the Superior School of Music in Barcelona, a student passionate regarding flamenco seizes on this medieval novel to compose the framework of her graduation project, The bad will, a concept album that will open the doors to an international career.
Rosalia is 13 years old when she hears, in a friend’s car, rising above the engines and the traffic, the smoky, heartbreaking voice of Camaron de la Isla. The tormented Andalusian gypsy, accomplice of Paco de Lucia and then of Tomatito, is a legend of flamenco: without altering its purity, he transformed and renewed his art by raising it beyond its traditional borders. In 1991, he played at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In 1992, he died of cancer.
