My Music, My Roots: Carlos Vives

Carlos Vives remembers his life in Santa Marta and Bogotá, Colombia. It was there that his artistic sensitivity turned into a reality. In an intimate way, he recalls the importance his father and brother had for his early musical training and the songs of the travelling artists who visited his home, which have forever been an inspiration for him. Carlos talks about the voices of the street which have left his songs with a particular tonality thanks to which he has managed to place Colombian music at the very top of the global scene.

Directed by Karina Insausti, My Music, My Roots: Carlos Vives leans on a strong ensemble — Carlos Vives — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
