Synopsis:

Cuchíbiri cuchíbiri is the story of a very unique genre of Spanish music: the Catalan rumba. Created by Catalan gypsies, this documentary is narrated by its very creator: Peret. Stories about stardom, race and family, yet also about his disenchantment with the music industry. A man who took charge of his destiny with sheer determination and talent, and then simply walked away. Cuchíbiri cuchíbiri explores three generations of rumberos: the creators (Peret, Chacho and Ramonet); those who kept rumba alive during the 1990s (Chipén) and, finally, the new generation (Miliu and Lady Gipsy). All illustrated with a lot of music, rumba and a lot of 'venting'.

The film will explore the creation of the Catalan rumba which developed from the flamenco rumba but was also influenced by Latin American music as well as rock. It also differentiated itself by using Palmas (handclapping) that keep the tempo as well as a new form of guitar playing known as the 'ventilador'. The documentary will also detail the second generation of the Catalan rumba which continued the music's legacy following the years when Peret devoted himself exclusively to the Evangelical Church of Philadelphia. It will finally document where the genre lies today, with the innovations of Lady Gipsy that has incorporated Funk, as well as Miliu who has reclaimed the pure original sound of the music.

Cuchíbiri cuchíbiri is the history of Catalan rumba according to Peret. His gospels from La Cera Street to the new generations. Stories of stardom and desertion, and a revision by friends like Chacho and Ramonet. And a lot of venting.
