A trip through the diversity of black and native Peruvian music. Character-driven film, one where the characters are integral to the nation itself. This movie delves into music and musicians, yet it's not strictly a musical; rather, it's a tapestry of seemingly disparate personal narratives woven together in a country also striving to define itself and sketch its identity

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Excellent photography and filming showing the diverse landscapes and culture of the three geographical regions of Peru: the Amazonian Jungle, the Andean high lands and the Pacific coastal region. The first half of the film is dedicated to the music and dancing of the indigenous Andean artists using their primitive instruments and also modern instruments such as violins and harps. The second half of the film concentrates on the folk traditional music and artists of the more modern Peruvian Coastal Pacific region which is more modern and has much African and Spanish colonial influence. The film is a must to anyone interested in Peruvian indigenous and folk music.
