Ritmos Negros del Perú is an in-depth look at Afro-Peruvian music through the lens of its percussion instruments. The now widespread cajon, as well as the less renowned cajita, quijada and checo, drive the rhythms along with the history and the identity of the music. Featuring musicians, researchers and instrument-makers, this documentary explores, along the Pacific Coast of Peru, the relationship between music and identities, and how the preservation and transmission of a cultural heritage is still relevant to contemporary creation.
