A documentary directed and produced / by Carlos Zuniga
There are many people in Costa Rica who are culturally and emotionally connected to calypso music, but it is the Calypsonians who keep this cultural expression, which dates back to 1900, alive. In their stories and songs, they talk in a burlesque way about the relationship of Afro-Costaricans with this country, their language and their role in history, as well as their struggle to assert their rights as professional artists.
