Salsa Opus 1: New York, our Latin thing

A documentary directed by Yves Billon.

Synopsis

In the melt­ing pot of New York, Salsa has achieved the dream of Gen­eral Boli­var: “To unite under a sin­gle ban­ner, in the heart of a sin­gle cul­ture peo­ple as dif­fer­ent as Colom­bians, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans”. New York Salsa is a pro­foundly Latin music which has allowed these up-rooted com­mu­ni­ties to redis­cover their cul­tural iden­tity. Fea­tur­ing per­for­mances by: Henry Fiol, Cuco Valoy, and José Alberto.

A unique serie of 5 episodes devoted to the world of salsa and its ori­gins. A musi­cal trip on the Amer­i­can con­ti­nent from New York to Cuba, cross­ing Colom­bia, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
