A journey to the heart of the mystery of flamenco music. At 62 years old, the master flutist Jorge Pardo, father of the flamenco-jazz fusion with the guitarist Paco de Lucía, takes up the challenge to gather the greatest musicians of today for a unique concert. Transe is an adventure that gives pride of place to musical performances. From Andalusia to New York and India, Jorge Pardo gives us his vision of music. A living portrait of the "founding father" of flamenco-jazz fusion and the world of contemporary flamenco, where tradition opens its doors to the world.

MAGHREB FLAMENCO is the first short documentary by Flamenco Biënnale NL made in 2008. With Cherifa Kersit (1967), the 'Cheikha' - the grande dame - of the singing tradition of the Berbers from the Moroccan Middle Atlas Mountains and guitarist Niño Josele (1974), protégé of Paco de Lucía, a descendant of a gipsy dynasty from the South Spanish Almería. The flamenco guitar mingles with the lotar, the Berber lute; and the raw Berber songs alternate with the "Cante Jondo", deep flamenco song. Together they built musical bridges, or rather, restored the old connections across the Strait of Gibraltar.
