IN SEARCH OF AFRICAN DUENDE: THE UGANDA FLAMENCO PROJECT
Producer: Keren Cogan
Director: Caroline Kamya
Country: Uganda
In En Busca del Duende Africano we open up both the practice and history of flamenco through its undeniable but little known connection to Africa.
This journey follows a small group of young Ugandans over a period of twenty- four months. Their aim, to put on the first Flamenco dance performance in Uganda at the National Theatre in Kampala. Against the backdrop of the poverty of inner city Kampala, the individual obstacles that each young Ugandan must overcome; some of whom are refugees, and orphans; form the spine of the documentary. Their stories are interspersed with a narrative history of black Africans in Spain, and how their oppression together with the persecuted Gypsies and Jews, led to the birth of Flamenco.
Free Entrance, drinks and snack available from Junction Cafe@TheHUB
