Allen says in the film&#8217;s production notes that the song came along out of the blue:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People send me music all the time but I rarely get a chance to listen to anything. One morning, as I was running out to go to the set, I grabbed it without even opening it and listened to it in the car on the way to the location. And I said, &#8216;Hey, this is great! This is exactly what I want for the movie.&#8217; And it worked out well for everyone. They were grateful we were using their music and my producer was happy that we weren&#8217;t using something that would cost a lot of money like a George Gerswin song!<span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tellarini performs another of his group&#8217;s songs, &#8220;La rey Del Retiro,&#8221; in the picture, which also features a couple of tracks by the Biel Ballester Trio with Leo Hipaucha &amp; Graci Pedro, &#8220;When I Was a Boy&#8221; and &#8220;Your Shining Eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other music includes &#8220;Gorrion&#8221; and &#8220;Entre Las Olas,&#8221; written and played by Juan Serrano; &#8220;Asturias,&#8221; written by Isaac Albeniz and played by Juan Quesada; &#8220;Entre Dos Aguas,&#8221; performed by Paco de Lucia and written by the artist and Jose Torregrosa; &#8220;El Noi de la Mare,&#8221; a traditional Catalonian folk song arranged for classical guitar by Miguel Llobet and Andres Segovia and performed by Muriel Anderson; &#8220;Big Brother,&#8221; written by Stephane Wrembel and performed by his trio with special guest David Grisman; and almost inevitably &#8220;Granada,&#8221; composed by Isaac Albeniz and performed by Emilio de Benito.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u00a0screened at the Festival de Cannes and is due for release in the fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ray Bennett CANNES \u2013 As usual, Woody Allen has scored his new movie, &#8220;Vicky Cristina Barcelona&#8221; (which stars Penelope Cruz, left) with synch tracks but instead of the American standards that accompany his Manhattan movies, this time he&#8217;s gone &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/?p=1150\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[580,5,8,10,12],"tags":[3067,1247],"class_list":["post-1150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-festival-de-cannes","category-film","category-music","category-notes","category-places","tag-vicky-cristina-barcelona","tag-woody-allen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1150"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5621,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1150\/revisions\/5621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecliffedge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
