In an artistic and enormously informative program, Guillermo Rios takes us into the magic world of the "Toques Libres". The absence of a metered pulse in these forms in no way limits their potential musical medium to serve the artist the fullest expressive possibilities. Malaguenas, Mineras, Rondenas, Granadinas, Tarantas are all discussed. The split screen increases clear views of both Guillermo's hands and includes performances of his own exquisite arrangements in these beautiful flamenco forms.
