Statement
This is the story of a journey towards the beginning. Towards the spirit. Towards the soul. Towards the one thing that merged our white, native and black roots into something unique.
Unique, like the music that was born.
For centuries we've asked ourselves: What keeps us apart?
Now is time to ask what brings us together.
Together with Ignacio and Fermín, two wanderers in search of something they need, but can't understand. Together with them in the discovery of a new world, of new adventures, of a new soul.
Everything seen with the wonderous background of a Land, our Land, which still remains unknown even to us.
And at the end, the beginning. And another journey.

Synopsis
![]() |
| Ignacio Carrillo travelled all his life throughout the villages and regions of northern Colombia, carrying music and songs on his accordion, a legendary instrument said to be cursed, as it once belonged to the devil. As he became older, he got married and settled with his wife in a small town, leaving his nomadic life behind. When she suddenly dies, he decides to make one last journey to the Northern edge of the country, to return the accordion to the man who gave it to him, his teacher and mentor, so he will never play it again. On the way, he is joined by Fermín, a young half-blood black man, who dreams of becoming a "juglar" like Ignacio, and to travel all around playing the accordion like he did. Tired of his loneliness, Ignacio accepts to be accompanied, and together they start the journey from Majagual, Sucre, to Taroa, beyond the Guajira desert, finding on the way the enormous diversity of the Caribbean culture, surviving all kinds of adventures and discovering the mix of breeds and cultures that gave birth to the music they play. Ignacio will try to convince Fermín to take a different path in his life, having learned that his only led to solitude and sadness, but he will have to face the fact that destiny has different plans for him and his pupil. |
