Enrique Morente's three sons tell the story of their father: the most revolutionary flamenco in history. Despite criticism from purists, he opened cante jondo to cultured poetry, brought it closer to young university students, explored its Arab roots and paired it with rock and other contemporary sounds. Much of the Spanish music of the last decades is heir to his findings.
