FREE SPIRITS, 13min., Argentina
Directed by Ferina, Ferrán Echegaray
FREE SPIRITS is the visual component of CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso’s 2nd studio album titled FREE SPIRTIS. The album arrived following a surreal campaign that included “GOO GOO GA GA” featuring Jack Black and “HASTA JESÚS TUVO UN MAL DÍA,” featuring Sting, who was unveiled as the unlikely architect of the mysterious FREE SPIRITS Center, a fictional holistic retreat that became the conceptual backdrop for the album’s rollout. Across the project, CA7RIEL & Paco, and their featured guests––Sting, Jack Black, Fred again.., and Anderson .Paak––undergo Sting’s FREE SPIRITS therapies to channel ego death, absurdity, personal reckoning, and hard-won clarity into a body of work that feels both wildly entertaining and unexpectedly revealing. In this short film you can get a detailed sense of the groundbreaking techniques employed at the FREE SPIRITS Center.
