The most joyous of Saura's music and dance compendiums, this one is devoted to the jota, a dance at once both courtly and energetic, and one of flamenco's artistic "parents". Opening with a jota class given by the force-of-nature Miguel Ángel Berna is an inspired stroke--laying down some groundwork for what is to come--followed by a series of jotas from around Aragón, (Saura's homeland). Jota de Boccherini, Jota de Tárrega, Jota mudéjar, and Jota gallega (my favorite) are all superb.
