OK, I noticed how quickly some of you identified the other movie. This one might be a little harder.
Way back when, when I had Independent Film Channel (when I had TV) I watched a Film that was simply one unvarnished musical set piece after another. There was no dancing or anything like that - just real, raw, old-school singers and unplugged musicianship. The music was Portuguese, maybe, or Spanish or Argentinian (you get the idea). The music brought tears to my eyes. I thought it might have been called Fandango, but I've never found it under that name. (The movie, I think, was named after a musical form like that.) In one scene, an old man sits at the end of a long table, like a mafia boss, and while he sings a capella, all the others slap the table with their hands in time. At the other end, a woman sang as though in answer or opposition. This music laid me low.
Anyone know this film?
