Afroamerindios ()
Member Rating:  
The documentary Afroamerindios posits the theory that two deep-seated modes of perception existed - and came into trenchant conflict - at the time of the Pilgrims' arrival in the New World and their initial encounters with Native Americans. One "mode" - that of the indigenous tribes - involved nature and spiritual ideas, many tied inherently to animism; the other "mode" - that of the Europeans - rested squarely on a base of rational thought and reasoning. Afroamerindios both explores the former and pays tribute to its celebrators, thus contributing to the preservation of Native American cultural tropes and ideas. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    AFROAMERINDIOS "african,american indios" it blends together the precolombian,ancient culture charm with the african energy, heart and sounds. The music tracks of the film are realized by a south american indio,a european opera singer and a performer from Congo. Their music combines traditional tunes,electronic and wild sounds lost in time,it moves us in the far-away athmospheres of a civilization that is still waiting to be revelead.. The documentary show the mistical and ancient connexion between Africa and south America,an invisible relationship between their people ant the supernatural beings,that is sanctioned since the origen of time. I love the book , wonderful project of Hildegard Antoni Carvajal.
