SYNOPSIS
Rapsodia Negra is a journey into the secrets of Colombia’s Pacific coast. Alfonso Córdoba is one of the last Afro-Colombian griots of the 20th century. We see through the eyes of this great musical master, who has spent his life travelling through the villages of his region, collecting kileles, bogas and alabaos. These are forgotten songs that have been transmitted orally over five hundred years of solitude, in a culture that has been abandoned by the mainstream.
