LA MÚSICA ES MI LENGUA MATERNA

Year: 2014 | Country: Mexico – USA | Duration: 19’ | Director: Todd Clouser, Billy Martin | Production: Jim Stark, Carlos Sosa, Armando Croda | Cinematography: Mario Rodríguez | Music: Todd Clouser, Billy Martin, John Medezki

The musicians Todd Clouser and Billy Martin make a journey of exploration through the state of Chiapas in search of sounds that inspire them. What they found could not be expressed in words, a great wealth of cultures, stories and hopes that are expressed through the common language of the heart: music. From their visits to Zinacantán, San Juan Chamula and San Cristóbal de Las Casas, a sample of yesterday and the tomorrow of Chiapas is presented in a short film whose purpose is to motivate our solidarity as people with the need to express themselves.
