From its unique blending of European, African, and native Indian influences, to its eventual transformation into world-famous genres, dir. Mika Kaurismaki, forms a companion piece to brother Aki’s THE SOUND OF BRAZIL. Featuring performances by many of the genre’s key figures within a broad historical context, this will be of particular interest to fans of the Latin American sound.
