Synopsis

CALLE 54 is director, Fernando Trueba's tribute to Latin jazz.

A musical journey that captures the heart and soul of an entire culture. The sound that pulsates in hot backstreet clubs and recording studios. From Miami to Havana, the Bronx to Andalusia. A series of performances that reveal how these great Latin heroes use their extraordinary musical talent as a vehicle for storytelling, protest, sexuality and, above all, the celebration of life. An innovative tapestry of sound and imagery, styles and rhythms -- from samba to pambiche to flamenco. Featuring well-known artists and musicians, CALLE 54 invites everyone to experience the passion of Latin jazz.
