Bajarí is the portrait of a living tradition: the flamenco and rumba created in Barcelona. Karime Amaya (great-niece of Carmen Amaya) together with the most talented young musicians in those disciplines, get together to create a performance that will pay tribute to their greatest legacy: “the art”. Meanwhile, Juanito Manzano, a five years old gipsy boy, discovers the flamenco world through his irrepressible desire to become a professional dancer.
