In this poem we find seven streams of improvisation, such as that of the troveros, the repentistas, the regueifas, the payadores or the bertsolaris. A poem created by specialists in improvisation, from the oldest person, from the Sierra de la Alpujarra, to a seven year old repentista girl from the Canary Islands.    

This audiovisual piece, illustrated by the Cadiz cartoonist Grillante and animated by Alfonso Benítez, portrays the living tradition of improvisation, a journey through southern Europe through a poem of 28 verses, constructed and told by seven different voices, each poet following in the wake of the previous verses, in the manner of an exquisite corpse.   .
