La Salsa Vive

septiembre 15 @ 8:30 p. m. - 10:10 pm

A vibrant journey through a genre born of Afro-Cuban rhythms—mambo, guaracha, guaguancó—fused with the drive of New York jazz, and one that found its second homeland in Cali, Colombia. With historical rigor, the film traces the musical voyage back and forth between Havana, New York, and Cali, showing how salsa became a shared language across cultures. It then dives into daily life in Cali, portraying dancers, collectors, young enthusiasts, and veteran masters who keep the tradition alive in cabarets, competitions, and on the streets. Featuring testimonies from icons such as Rubén Blades, Henry Fiol, and Willie Rosario, it celebrates the popular resilience of a genre that remains identity, passion, and community.
