Cantos de Latinoamérica + Music Performance by legendary Nicaraguan musician Carlos Mejía Godoy!Palenke Arts presents in partnership with the Watsonville Film Festival three wonderful shorts featuring Latin American musicians followed by a concert by legendary Nicaraguan musician Carlos Mejía Godoy.
1. Living in exile (Documentary, 14 minutes)
Forced into exile and now living in California, Carlos Mejía Godoy is a legendary musician and poet of Nicaragua’s Sandinista Revolution of the 1970s-80s. Mejía Godoy shares his music, poetry and paintings as he reflects on Nicaragua’s historic fight for liberty and the betrayal of the original Sandinista Revolution.
2. I am the Queen/So soy la Reyna (Documentary, 16 minutes)
A journey through the words of the soprano Mixe María Reyna, a journey through a childhood marked by domestic violence, the ultra-conservatism of the indigenous communities of southern Mexico, and the desire to go out and discover a world “beyond the mountain.”
3. Maura (Documentary, 17 minutes)
84-year-old Maura is the guardian of a very particular tradition in danger of extinction. She is a singer of amorfinos, verses full of humor that will disappear forever with her departure.
