This video was part of a multimedia spectacle that was shown succesfully in Belgium. The film and show retrace the history of Cuba and Mexico and places it in a universal context. The imagery refers to the ancient mythologies of the Amer-indian cultures and as well as the candomblé rites.
Luiz Márquez, the artist who conceived of the spectacle, started his studies of ethnical music under supervision of Zacharias Segura (QPD). After several musical experiments while living in Europe, Luiz Márquez decided to return to his roots: Mexico, with its Indio’s, its landscapes, its tradition, its music. He created a new sound, Ethno Jazz, combining the sophistication of the city world with his indigenous roots.His music is a pure relationship between North and South, melting magic of tradition and Blues and emphasizing relation of nature and human being. During his investigation he participated in various projects and worked together with musicians as Rufus Thomas, Chris Whitley and others.
