The title of this work can have many meanings. It could be understood as a vital commitment to flamenco tradition and fidelity to it, but also, as is the case, to the unbreakable personal and artistic union of its protagonists. José and Manuel, despite their youth, have already been sharing roads and stages for many years. (Cover photograph by Claudia Ruiz)

The repertoire is signed by Rafael Lorente and Manuel Carabante (in 'The Spell of flamenco') and features, among others, Alex Fernández and Juan José Villar.
