Those present included the celebrated singer, Luis de Almeria, along with Diego and Frasquita Contreras with Manuel Gomes on guitar.
The short video below was part of TF1 Journal last night on television - see and hear the chants in the church and watch the dancing. Just over two minutes ...

Le célèbre festival de Flamenco a commencé il y a deux jours à Gorbio. Avant la paella et avant le fabuleux spectacle de danse , nous avons écouté, dans l'église, d' exquis chants religieux gitans qui ont charmé un public admiratif. Etaient présents le célèbre chanteur Luis de Alméria, Diego et Frasquita Contreras ainsi que Manuel Gomes à la guitare.
La courte vidéo ci-dessous fait partie du Journal de TF1 d' hier soir à la télévision - voir et d'entendre les chants dans l'église et de regarder la danse. Juste un peu plus de deux minutes ...
I really love that opening shot! I like all of the photos, but especially the black and whites. You capture a lot of emotion in the faces.
