Description

Musica. Produced by Gustavo A. Paredes, Jr. Directed by John D. Wise. NEP Productions, 1984. 59 minutes. Despite its vague title, the orientation of Gustavo Paredes' film is fairly specific: it focuses on the history and development of Latin jazz in New York City, and on the social meanings of Latin dance music to the Spanish-speaking immigrant community there through various decades. Intended for a general audience, the documentary considers the lives and artistic contributions of key individuals involved with music making in New York since the 1930s, a number of whom are interviewed directly by the filmmakers. The documentary includes an effective mix of performance footage, voice-over commentary, interviews with performers, with musicologists and sociologists, and period images from past decades that bring to life the context in which Latin jazz and salsa dance music developed.
