Description
Just as important as the stories told during the Golden Age of classic Mexican cinema are the songs featured in so many of its films. This documentary recounts the accomplishments of two of Mexico's greatest film composers: Jose Alfredo Jimenez and Salvador Flores Rivera. Jimenez, considered as crucial to Mexico's musical heritage as Woody Guthrie is to America's, wrote more than 200 songs performed by some of Mexico's finest entertainers. Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Luis Miguel, Lola Beltran and Lucha Villa are just some of the many stars making his compositions classics. In a slightly different vein, Rivera (better known as "Chava" Flores) took the keen observation of his Mexico City roots and used it to create classics of urban folk songs, reporting on the foibles of Mexican society with humor and profundity. In Spanish with English subtitles.
