dance big people

Friday, May 26, 2006

Meet the characters in my documentary: three young, unknown (for now) songwriters living in Montevideo, Uruguay. All find themselves at musical crossroads, moments of creative ferment and renewed dedication to their emerging careers. All have been shaped by experiences of migration leading them to this modestly cosmopolitan city, straight from the borders of neighboring Argentina and Brazil or through a circuitious route of return via New York City. Without claiming to speak for all Uruguayan musics or musicians, their distinctive voices and stories illuminate a range of perspectives on what it means to dedicate yourself to popular music in this country.

Bios, stills, and musical excerpts below. Trailer still coming soon.
