Latin
Nights brings to you the pulsating spectrum of Latin American
Music. Experience Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Brazilian Jazz, Samba,
Tango, Canto Nuevo and indigenous folk music from the Andean mountains
on this stylishly filmed musical documentary. Peer into the
nightclubs, coffee houses and performance halls where the rhythms and
the cool, seductive melodies of the music reverberate.
Through a series of eleven full-length concert performances, we
celebrate the rich musical tradition of Latin America, and pay tribute
to accomplished Latin musicians, who through their music, maintain
their cultural identity in a new country. Witness the creative process
and musical results as we follow these musicians into their homes for
a behind-the-scenes look at the commitment, struggles and passion of
their lives. Latin Nights showcases the hopes, the politics and the
promise of a new life while maintaining the musical tradition,
heritage and values of these dedicated musicians and their native
lands thousands
of miles away. Featuring Tito Puente, Memo Acevedo and
more. Directed by Anthony Azzopardi
