When Rafaelillo Amador arrived to Las Tres Mil Viviendas for the first time, thirty years ago, he was a kid, and there he was welcomed by a donkey. It was no common donkey. While the Amador family walked through the streets, carrying their belongings, the donkey was watching them from a window in a ninth floor. Rafaelillo quickly guessed that the donkey had a nice and warm room. The owner of the donkey took it everynight into the elevator to the ninth floor, so it would not get a cold, and up there he had prepared a room with a view, water and straw. Years later, Rafael would sing, as a member of Pata Negra, "Of all the birds that fly, there is no one as the pig". That is pure southern surrealism with the unique Tres Mil flavour, the most artistic and amazing part of Seville ... but it is also the most marginal, addicted to drugs, and dangerous part of the city. No taxi would accept to carry you further than the boundaries of this neighborhood of 40.000 souls, similar to that other area, the thousand times filmed American Harlem. This documentary is an Art Testimony.

Sinopsis

Looking for the roots of the so called "New Flamenco", "SEVILLE SOUTHSIDE" is a documentary that travels to all Tres Mil viviendas, the most problematic neighborhood of Seville, where the Triana's ancients gypsies are mixed with the new generations of musicians who found the most modern trends of the music with the deep roots of the traditional Flamenco.

Under the pretext of the honoring to Pepe " The Quemao ", in a multitudinous concert for the first time in The Tres Mil Viviendas, they show prominent figures of all the styles and ages that along the documentary speaks about the daily problems of hisneighborhood, sings, they dance, show his peculiar customs and smooth his roughnesses.

With the motto "Leave You of paranoias and come to The Tres Mil" it is invited the whole Seville to spend magic night of good music with the people of the SEVILLE SOUTHSIDE.

The interracial and multicultural mixture that they suppose the current trends of the Flamenco and the whole artists' pleiad will be falling across artists as Rafael Amador, Juana la del Revuelo, Ramon Quilate, from more acquaintances, up to the anonymous figures that continue preserving the most ancient traditions of the artistic gipsy Flamenco expression.
