00:00The purest thing I can be is being honest with all the references I've had.

00:21And flamenco is my biggest inspiration, but it's one more at the same time.

00:30I love flamenco.

00:32I love flamenco.

00:34I love flamenco.

00:59I discovered this music because of the environment I lived in.

01:03I live in a very specific part of Catalonia, where there was a lot of Andalusian emigration.

01:11So that made the people I grew up with, my friends, listen to a lot of flamenco.

01:17There was a lot of Andalusian culture around me.

01:20So flamenco has been very present since I was a teenager.

01:25And that's how I discovered it, and I fell in love with this music.

01:29I don't stop researching it.

02:33And in the end, I think that art goes beyond territorial or ethnic questions.

02:41That's also my opinion.

02:43It's an opinion that maybe not everyone shares, but I feel it that way.

02:46And the truth is that I've always been very respectful, I think,

02:49from the place where I understand this music, which is flamenco,

02:53and which is my great inspiration.

02:55I always say it. I never say that the music I'm making now is flamenco.

02:59I would never say it. You know, it seems absurd to me.

03:01But I always try to make the references I've had visible,

03:05as a great reference to flamenco.

03:08And I do it from the heart.
