Músicas

About This Movie

Músicas is a deep dive into the world of Indigenous music, capturing the essence of Leticia Gallardo and her all-female band, Mujeres del Viento Florido. The film unfolds like a journey, beautifully set against the backdrop of Tlahuitoltepec’s mountains, flowing into Oaxaca and the urban landscape of Mexico City. Avilés’s direction allows the natural rhythms of the musicians' lives to breathe; you can almost feel the pulse of the music in your bones. The pacing is contemplative, fostering a genuine connection with the artists as they navigate both personal and cultural landscapes. It's not just about music; it's about identity, heritage, and the power of female voices in a space often overlooked. The performances resonate with authenticity, making the documentary feel more like an intimate experience than a mere observation.
