This documentary explores the modern resurgence of traditional Afro-Bolivian Saya music. The Afro-Bolivian community has been historically underrepresented and has remained marginalized in poverty since the abolition of slavery. In recent decades, Afro-Bolivians have used Saya music to empower their movement and to build solidarity in the face of discrimination. The musicians use Saya as a platform for political activism and have been gaining visibility in society by telling their story and defining their own identity through performance. |
