Music producer, scriptwriter and documentary film-maker, Ricardo Pachón knows and respects flamenco's traditions. His personal sound and image archives reflect more than half a century of dedication to preserving those traditions. At the same time, from the late sixties on, Pachón produced the music that would revolutionize Spanish pop. Gypsy musicians from Andalusia's flamenco tradition, Manuel Molina, Lole y Manuel, Rafael and Raimundo Amador, and the great cantaor Camarón de la Isla, found in the studios with Pachón an entirely new sound.
