_______________

Two brothers seek their destiny in the quest for origins through an epic and musical journey bordered by landscapes, rhythms and stories both sparkling and piquant. Thus, a voice is woven over the course of meetings that takes them to their dream goal in the company of a saga of whimsical and crazy characters between fiction and reality, between myths and sections of history, between anecdotes taken from popular songs and political pain: historical truths. It is a palette rich in emotions that would be against all expectations the discovery of the deep reasons for rumba.
