TWO GUITARS.  This double feature depicts two of the best flamenco guitarists of all time. El Niño Miguel (Nacho Martín / 26'/ 2010 / Spain [Spanish language]) is an A/V profile of a unique and greatly charismatic character, and Papagordo (Laura Llamas and Víctor Morilla / 60'/2011/ Spain [Spanish]) deals with Raimundo Amador, the man whose name appears the most number of times on the list of best records of the last hundred years in Spain.  Over three decades Raimundo has gone from playing in the streets of some of Seville's most dangerous neighborhoods to sharing thne stage with Camarón, B.B. King and Björk.  The nickname given to him by his granddaughter provides the title for a documentary that reveals the family life of this artist.  This isn't the guitar genius we are seeing, but rather the regular customer at the local fishmonger, the father of six, who can't stop complaining about a backache- a universally lauded talent supported by family, love and his home.
