A handful of stars crossing the sky. A guitarist touching the beat of those bright rockets. The guitarist is one of those stars and has a penalty inside. The penalty for another of those stars. A fleeting star that left too soon.

That is the mystery that is hidden in “The Flemish guitar of Yerai Cortés”, which was going to be an album first, but ended up being a documentary and the album that accompanies him, for that night in which Antón Álvarez, Pucho for friends, C. Tangana of artistic name, crossed him. That story, which is that of the guitarist’s life Yerai Cortés, The Goya has been taken to the best original song and we are going to count on it in raw meat.

Yerai Cortés has two lives: one in Madrid and another in Alicante. One where he was born 30 years ago and another where he came to make his way with the guitar with only 18 years. One of gypsy falls in love with flamenco and another of modern that baffles the flamenco. A life made of sounds, singing and dance, rags and heels. Another made of silences made. And of broken silences and to break silences treats the documentary that Antón Álvarez has made. A work of art about duels and brokenness. In this interview we talked about his career, his family history and his unusual figure in flamenco: a gypsy artist respected by the classics and the avant -garde, on horseback between the tradition and the rupture of the symbols.
