Since the historical rupture of the Spanish Reconquista, the sonorous landscape of Andalusia has been instrumentalised by different groups to assert ideological conceptions of ‘Spanishness’ and to harden the socio-cultural boundaries of Europe. The film exposes the multilayered cultural origins of the Andalusian sonic forms in Arabic poetry and gitano culture, challenging the flattening of its context in revisionist historical accounts. An understanding of the sonorous foundations which stretch across the Mediterranean provides a space of reflection which isn’t possible within the dominant epistemological frames of ‘Spanishness’. The contemporary migrant crisis, in which thousands of migrants have attempted to cross the Spanish-Moroccan land border in Ceuta, is the prism through which the various sonic and socio-political territories are mapped in the film. Story-telling and fictional narratives are crucial ways to uncover relationships between sound and political conditions, in ways that journalistic inquiries struggle to accomplish.
