El Acordeón Del Diablo

2000-02-2490 minSpanish

The film tells the story of that great gentleman of Caribbean music, Pacho Rada. It is the legend of a singer and songwriter who first picked up an accordion at the age of four and never put it down again. A man who made his life traveling around Colombia, going from town to town and from party to party, singing and playing for a few cents, his songs that managed to have great success. He is 93 now and lives in a galvanized tin shack on the outskirts of Santa Marta in Colombia. This film begins with Pacho Rada's journey through the entire Caribbean coast of Colombia, in which he enters the world of musicians and singers who enrich their repertoire with salsa, cumbia and vallenato music. The limits between dreams and reality are lost both through the legends of Pacho Rada and in the novels of Gabriel García Márquez.
