Plot summary
John Santos is a percussionist, community activist, and seven-time Grammy nominee, and he is counted among the foremost exponents of Afro-Latin music. His mixed Puerto Rican and Cape Verdean heritage shapes the rhythms he plays, and he teaches those rhythms in his percussion classes. In his performances he sets the music against the legacy of colonialism and takes on the politics of culture and global migration. He also ties the rhythms of his ancestors to current fights over gentrification in cities, social inequality, and racial injustice. The documentary captures his musical storytelling and his effort to unite and broaden his audience.
