- Summary:
- While the Spanish colonists brought their music to South America—flamenco, for example, inspired the habanera in Cuba—the influences have mostly traveled in the opposite direction since then. This is the conclusion of this documentary, which notably observes how bolero, rumba, calypso, and mambo fused with rock during the Madrid Movida of the 1980s. "Madrid became a city like New York, Paris, or Tokyo, a metropolis where very important cultures converged," says singer Edith Salazar. The fall of Francoism also liberated the Tenerife Carnival, which embraced merengue, salsa, and samba. The music videos of Celtas Cortos, Joaquín Sabina, and Rosario reflect how these South American rhythms infiltrated all forms of Spanish popular music, from traditional songs to pop. Eric Delhaye
