Singing our Roots

Singing our Roots - Ancestral echoes meet Buenos Aires rock

Long before spoken language, humanity sang. This compelling documentary retraces that instinctual act of expression, starting with Leda Valladares’ pioneering work capturing the ancestral music of Argentina’s valleys and mountains.

Through her influence on iconic rock musicians like Fito Páez, Pedro Aznar, and Gustavo Cerati, the film reveals the bridges between rural traditions and urban musical revolutions.

As we journey from remote landscapes to the vibrant chaos of Buenos Aires, we uncover how rock, blues, and folklore aren’t separate worlds, but layered voices in a single, evolving song. A lyrical and historical voyage through the soul of Latin American music.
